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.
