Q

What type of reaction is this

Iron+copper(2)nitrate goes to iron(2)nitrate + copper

A

It is a displacement reactions where a less reactive metal compound and a more reactive metal react and the more reactive metal turns into a metal compound and the less reactive metal is no longer a compound

17
Q

How do you stop rusting

A 
Alloying
Sacrificial protection
Galvanising 
Painting 
Plastic coating 
Oil and grease 
Tinning 
Electroplating
18
Q

What is galvanising

Name 2 advantages

Name 2 disadvantages

A

Is means it is dipped in molten zinc so the zinc corroded instead of the iron

Long lasting

Iron can be exposed to air and water without rusting

Expensive
Appearance is dull

19
Q

What is alloying

Name 2 advantages

Name 2 disadvantages

A

Mixes molten iron with chromium oxide to make stainless steel

Last for life time of steel

Gives good shiny finish

Expensive

Chromium is rare
