Explanation
Hint: A red-colored coat formed on iron by the reaction of iron with oxygen in presence of air is called rust.
Explanation:
Rusting can be prevented by various methods.
1. Coating the object with paint or grease can prevent rusting. The layer of paint and grease prevents the reaction of iron with air.
2. Galvanization is the best method to prevent rusting. To protect the iron from rusting it is coated with zinc because zinc possesses a higher negative reduction potential than $$Fe$$ so zinc will oxidized before iron and protects iron from getting oxidized.
Correct Option: $$D$$
Take some clean iron nails and place them in the three test tubes prepared as under:
Test tube A: Contains boiled water and a thin layer of oil.
Test tube B: Contains dry air.
Test tune C: Testube half-filled with water.
All the test tubes are tightly closed after placing the nails. After some time what will you observe?
