11. You must have observed that iron articles are shiny when new, but get coated with a
reddish brown powder when left for some time. This process is commonly known as
rusting of iron. Some other metals also get tarnished in this manner. Have you noticed
the color of the coating formed on copper and silver? When a metal is attacked by
substances around it such as moisture, acids, etc., it is said to corrode and this process is
called corrosion. The black coating on silver and the green coating on copper are other
examples of corrosion. 4M
(i) What is the chemical formula for rust?
(ii) What are the necessary conditions for formation of rust?
(iii) Write a balance chemical equations for the rusting of iron.
(iv) Write any to two prevention methods for corrosion.
12. Attempt either A or B
(A)What happens when a piece of 5M
(B) Zinc metal is added to Caustic soda solution?
