Question:

Which of the following method can be used to prevent rusting of iron?

Options:

by applying a coat of paint

by applying a coat of grease

by depositing a layer of a metal like chromium or zinc on iron

All of these

Correct Answer:

All of these

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 4. All of these.

Iron gets corroded called rusting of iron.

The process of rusting can be represented by the following equation:

Iron (Fe) + Oxygen (O2, from the air) + water (H2O) → Rust (iron oxide Fe2O3)

Prevention from rusting of iron:

One simple way is to apply a coat of paint or grease. In fact, these coats should be applied regularly to prevent rusting.

Another way is to deposit a layer of a metal like chromium or zinc on iron.
