What is the metal used for galvanising iron?
It is the element zinc in its molten state that we dip iron or steel into to galvanize it.
How is zinc used in technology?
Zinc chloride- in deodorants Zinc pyrithione- anti-dandruff shampoos Zinc sulfide- in luminescent paints Zinc ditheye or zinc methyl- in the organic laboratory
How does coating with another metal prevent corrosion?
when you coat a metal in another metal you are protecting the inside metal. The metal metal that is being used as a coat must be more corrosive than the 1st metal. For example iron can be coated in zinc because zinc is more corrosive than iron. This is common on a ship, the iron hull is coated with blocks of zinc which will act as a barrier and will corrode instead of the iron. The zinc blocks must be renewed after a period of time however. Other ways of stopping metals from corroding include, chromium plating, coating in paint, oil or plastic.
Why is granulated zinc used instead of a block?
If there is Block of zinc, only the zinc on the surface gets exposed to the other reactants but if there is granulated zinc because of its more surface area the zinc is more exposed so the granulated zinc is used for the greater reaction rate.
What is a zinc nail?
a zinc nail is iron nail coating zinc on the surface for corrosion resistance purpose,most commonly used in concrete nail
Can you use bacitracin with zinc as a sunblock?
No. Bacitracin is a triple antibiotic for skin infections and has only a small amount of zinc in it. You can buy just zinc and it can be used as a sunblock. Many lifeguards put it on their noses because it completely blocks the sun but you it is not clear it is white and you can see it because it is not rubbed in.

What is zinc metal used for?

Is zinc used in pennies?

What do zinc blocks do on a oil rig?
To Fight Corrosion through a process called GALVANIC CORROSION
What is the metal used for galvanising iron?

Why is zinc and not copper is used for the recovery of silver from cyanide complex?
Zinc is used to precipitate gold from gold cyanide. Zinc will react to form zinc cyanide.
What is zinc used for in a printing factory?
Zinc is used in a printing factory because of the chemicals. Zinc does have many types of chemicals in it.
Why is zinc in paint?
The zinc oxide (ZnO) is the most used white pigment. Zinc (as metal) is used for plating iron alloys.
