Corrosion and Its PreventionQuiz - Solve & Score

  1. Q1. Which method protects iron with a coating of a LESS reactive metal acting only as a barrier?

    • A.cathodic protection
    • B.sacrificial protection
    • C.tinning
    • D.galvanising

    Answer: C. tinning

    Quick parse - a typical chemistry numerical. We are after the quantity the stem asks for. Tool of choice - hence the answer = tinning. Rearrange it for the unknown before substituting. Common-sense check: the reactivity series runs K > Na > Ca > Mg > Al > Zn > Fe > Pb > (H) > Cu > Hg > Ag > Au. Lock in option C) tinning. Trap-watch: option A) 'cathodic protection' doesn't hold - That uses a more reactive anode metal; option B) 'sacrificial protection' is incorrect: That uses a more reactive metal.

  2. Q2. Which is NOT a method of preventing corrosion of iron?

    • A.greasing
    • B.painting
    • C.keeping it in a damp store-room
    • D.galvanising

    Answer: C. keeping it in a damp store-room

  3. Q3. Consider the following statements about corrosion and its prevention: (I) Rusting requires both oxygen and moisture. (II) Galvanisation uses a zinc coating. (III) Painting increases the rusting of iron. Which of the above statement(s) is/are correct?

    • A.Only I and II
    • B.Only I
    • C.None of these
    • D.Only III

    Answer: A. Only I and II
