What is the reaction between iron metal and oxygen gas making solid iron oxide?

The reaction between iron metal and oxygen gas to form solid iron oxide is a redox reaction. Iron metal reacts with oxygen gas to form iron(III) oxide (Fe2O3) according to the equation: 4Fe(s) + 3O2(g) -> 2Fe2O3(s).

Why zinc is electroplated on iron used to make bridges?

Zinc is electroplated on iron to form a protective barrier against corrosion. This process, known as galvanization, helps to prevent rusting of the iron structure, such as bridges, by acting as a sacrificial anode. The zinc coating corrodes preferentially to the iron, thus extending the lifespan of the structure.

Who does it effect anemia?

The Indian population was using the iron utensils for ages. They never had the iron deficiency anaemia in the past. I have seen the age when the aluminium utensils were introduced in the India. I have seen the population getting impressed by the stainless steel utensils. When I tell my patients to use to iron utensils, they think that i am cracking a joke. I could not convince the single patient to use the iron utensils. The pots should not be cleaned before cooking. The rust of the previous day is more precious than the gold. So you do not use the iron utensils and you get the iron deficiency anaemia.
