INVESTIATORY PROJECT
OBJECTIVE –
The goal of this project is to
investigate the effect of metal
coupling on rusting of iron.
We will have to study the change
in rusting of iron when an iron
nail is when an iron nail is
coupled with metals more
electronegative than iron and
metals which are less
electropositive than iron.
INVESTIATORY PROJECT
INTRODUCTION –
Metals and alloy undergoes rusting and
corrosion. The process by which some meals
when exposed to atmospheric conditions i.e,
moist air,carbon dioxide, on the surface is
known as coorosion. The compounds
formed are usually Oxides. Rusting is also
a type of coorosion but the term is
restricted to iron or products made from it.
Iron is easily prone to
rusting making its surface rough.
Chemically, rust is a hydrated ferric oxide
Fe2O3.nH2O. Rusting may be explained by
an electrochemical
mechanism. In the presence of moist air
containing dissolved oxygen or carbon
dioxide, the commercial iron behaves as if
composed of small electrical cells.At
anode of cell, iron passes in to solution as
ferrous ions.
INVESTIATORY PROJECT
Fe Fe(2+) +2e-
The electrons from the above reaction move
towards the cathode and form hydroxyl
ions
H2O + (O) + 2e- 2OH(-)
Under the influence of dissolved oxygen
the ferrous ions and hydroxyl ions interact
from rust,i.e., hydrated ferric oxide.
