Displacement

21
Q

What is the equation for rust?

A

22
Q

Examples of barrier methods

A

Paint, rubber, galvanisation, oiling

23
Q

Example of sacrificial protection

A

Attaching big blocks of magnesium to the iron hull of a ship or water pipe so it corrodes in preference

24
Q

What is galvanising

A

Physical barrier (zinc on top of iron)
Zinc is more reactive than iron so it corrodes in preference
