Study Notes
Rusting
- Rusting is a chemical reaction that is not helpful
- To avoid rusting, prevent direct contact between iron, oxygen, and water.
- Ways to prevent rusting:
- Coating with protective layers
- Using alloys (mix of metals)
Preventing Rusting
- Iron lamp posts are coated with zinc to create a protective layer against rust.
- Stainless steel is an alloy of iron, chromium, and other substances
- Its resistance to rust is better than iron.
- Iron fences are painted to create a protective layer against rust.
Key Points
- Chemical reactions can be helpful or harmful
- Useful reactions include photosynthesis and some forms of respiration
- Harmful reactions include acid corrosion of marble/limestone, ozone depletion, and rusting.
