Chemical knowledge
Similarities (maximum 2 marks):
Both tin-plating and galvanising involve coating / covering iron with a thin layer of metal [1]
(zinc / tin). (Do not accept ‘plating’)
The layer prevents iron from contacting water (and) oxygen. [1]
Differences (maximum 3 marks):
Tin-plated iron will rust / rust faster when tin coating is scratched off but galvanised iron
DSE 21_03 will not rust / rust slower when zinc coating is scratched off. [1]
(c) (ii) When the tin coating is scratched off, tin-plated iron will rust because
tin will lose electrons less readily than iron / tin is less reactive than iron / tin is lower than
iron in electrochemical series (ECS) / tin is a weaker reducing agent than iron. [1]
[1] When the zinc coating is scratched off, galvanised iron will not rust because
zinc will lose electrons more readily than iron / zinc is more reactive than iron / zinc is
higher than iron in ECS / zinc is a stronger reducing agent than iron / zinc gives sacrificial
protection to iron. [1]
