    Rusting Powerpoint

    Rusting is the oxidation of iron and steel caused by a reaction with oxygen and water. Rust forms when iron oxide, also known as hydrated iron oxide, develops on the metal surface. Salt, acids, and other substances can accelerate the rusting process by promoting more rapid corrosion. The document describes an experiment where iron nails are placed in boiling tubes under different conditions involving water, salt, vinegar, and hydrogen peroxide to investigate how these substances affect rust formation. It also discusses two main methods for preventing rusting: using a barrier like grease or paint between the metal and air/moisture, or sacrificial protection using a more reactive metal like magnesium or zinc that corrodes before the iron.

    Rusting

    What you need to know about rusting

    Rusting is the corrosion of iron (& steel). Other metals


    can CORRODE but not rust

    It is an oxidation process (addition of oxygen)

    Rust is hydrated iron oxide

    Both water and oxygen (from the air) are required for
    rusting

    Salt and other (e.g. acid) can speed up rusting


    Group practical:

    Work in groups of 3-4

    Investigate the formation of rust on the iron nail


    under 5 different conditions
    Steps
    1. Add dry, clean iron nail in each of the 5 boiling tubes.
    2. Add 5-10 ml of water in each boiling tube.
    3. Mark each boiling tube from 1-5 using a marker.
    4. Fill the remaining boiling tube as given in the diagram
    5. Add 1 spoon NaCl, 5 ml Vinegar, 5 ml Hydrogen Peroxide as
    shown in the figure
    RUST PREVENTION
    Search/Investigate different methods of protecting iron nails
    from rusting

    Search from google and solve in your lab sheet


    There are 2 main methods to help prevent rusting

    1) Putting a barrier between the metal and the air and moisture
    e.g. grease, paint, plastic, unreactive metal

    2) Sacrificial protection-The iron is covered or connected to a


    more reactive metal so it will ‘corrode’ ahead of the iron e.g.
    Magnesium or Zinc
