Give three easier ways of preventing rusting of Iron.
Asked by Topperlearning User | 25th Jun, 2014, 09:52: AM
Expert Answer:
Galvanization of Iron. By depositing a layer of zinc on the iron article the rusting of iron can be prevented.
By coating the surface of iron with a thin layer of paint or oil. They act as barrier and do not let the air and moisture come in contact with metal.
By connecting iron with magnesium rod or zinc rod as they are more reactive than Iron so they are preferentially corroded leaving Iron uncorroded.
