Q

Thermite reaction equation

A

Aluminium + iron oxide —> aluminium oxide + iron

17
Q

What does it mean if a metal is higher than carbon in the reactivity series

A

It can react with water

18
Q

What is needed to rust/ corrode

A

Oxygen and water

19
Q

When metals corrode it’s called… when iron corrodes it’s called…

A

Corrosion, rusting

20
Q

Equation for rust

A

Iron + oxygen —> hydrated iron oxide (chemical name for rust)
(Water)

21
Q

What is the barrier method

A

Putting a barrier between the iron and the air e.g painting or oiling , rubber coating

22
Q

What is the sacrificial protection method

A

Attaching big blocks of metal more reactive than iron or the metal, this metal corrodes in preference

23
Q

What is the galvanising method

A

Invokes covering metal in another metal more reactive

24
Q

What’s the best anti rust method

A

Galvanising as it is both a sacrificial protection method and a barrier method
