The plating of iron with zinc is called galvanization. This process involves coating iron or steel with a layer of zinc to protect it from corrosion and rusting. Galvanization is commonly achieved through methods such as hot-dip galvanizing or electro-galvanizing. The zinc layer acts as a sacrificial anode, providing long-lasting protection to the underlying metal.

Zinc is typically used in the process of galvanizing iron. The iron is dipped into a bath of molten zinc, which forms a protective zinc coating on the surface of the iron to prevent corrosion.
No, pennies are not ferromagnetic because they do not contain enough iron to exhibit magnetic properties. The composition of pennies primarily consists of copper and zinc, which are not magnetic materials.
You will have a mixture of zinc and iron filings.
The zinc oxide (ZnO) is the most used white pigment. Zinc (as metal) is used for plating iron alloys.
The main difference between alkaline zinc plating and cyanide zinc plating is the type of bath used in the plating process. Alkaline zinc plating uses an alkaline electrolyte solution, while cyanide zinc plating uses a cyanide-based electrolyte solution. Alkaline zinc plating is considered more environmentally friendly compared to cyanide zinc plating, which contains toxic cyanide compounds.

no a penny is copper... Actually not since 1982.... In the middle of that year the rising price of copper forced the Mint to change the coin's composition to zinc with a thin copper plating. The copper plating is only 2.5% of the coin's composition.
Zinc plating a metal which has a less negative reduction potential will protect the metal as the zinc is oxidised in preference. This is called galvanising

It is the element zinc in its molten state that we dip iron or steel into to galvanize it.
Zinc can displace iron from iron chloride. This is because zinc is higher in the reactivity series than iron. Copper, however, cannot displace iron from iron chloride as it is lower in the reactivity series than iron.

In terms of the rusting of iron/steel objects - exclude oxygen and moisture. Coating iron objects with a layer of oil, grease or paint is the easiest. Keeping them in a dry and inert atmosphere is another, but not so easy or practical. A common technique is coating them with a layer of Tin or Zinc plating, which is generally referred to as "cathodic protection", where the layer of Tin or Zinc will corrode preferentially to prevent rusting. Plating with Copper or Chromium is similar to painting in so far as the iron/steel is protected from oxygen or moisture, but only so long as the plating is unbroken, otherwise it may actually promote rusting.
Galvanized iron is iron coated with a thin layer of zinc...the reason for this is the the zinc is oxidizes easier than the iron so even if the layer of zinc is broken the zinc will oxidize before the iron......
