How does painting a metal surface stop it from corroding?
Usually you have to stop it corroding FIRST, then paint it to protect it.
How does oil protect iron from corroding?
KEEPS OXYGEN FROM COMING INTO CONTACT WITH THE IRON.
How is sacrificial metal used in oil rigs?
Zinc or Aluminium anodes are often used to stop iron struts on oil rigs from corroding due to salt water.
Why is the sydney harbour bridge continuously painted?

Which action changes the identity of the substance referenced running an electric current through copper burning wood breaking an ice cube melting gold?
All except the corroding of iron do NOT change the substance involved.
Corrosion of bicycle frame?
That'd be a chemical change, as steel/iron turns into iron oxide. Usually called rusting, or corroding.
Can metals that don't have iron develop rust?
Other metals can corrode, but the term rust is usually just refers to the product of corroding iron or iron alloys.
Is corroding metal a chemical change?
Yes, corroding metal is a chemical change because it involves a chemical reaction between the metal and substances in its environment, such as oxygen or water. This reaction causes a change in the composition and properties of the metal.
How does galvanised iron corrode?
Slowly, because the zinc galvanizing coating must corrode away almost completely before the iron can begin corroding.
Does rust stop work?
Yes, rust can cause a piece of metal to stop working properly by corroding and weakening it over time. Rust is a form of oxidation that occurs when iron and oxygen react with moisture in the air, leading to the formation of iron oxide. If left untreated, rust can eventually render the metal unusable.
Is metal corroding chemical change?
Yes. When metal rusts the iron is changed into iron oxide. This type of change is called a redox reaction. The iron is oxidized, meaning is has lost electrons.
Does salt disolve objects?
Salt doesn't dissolve objects but the ion chloride has a corroding action on iron and alloys.
