Expert Answer
Corrosion of iron (rusting) is a redox process that destroys iron on coming in contact with the oxygen and moisture of the atmosphere. The chemical reaction of rusting is:
In rust, iron is present as Fe3+. So, during rusting of Fe, Fe gets converted to Fe3+.
One of the methods used for prevention of rusting is coating iron with a more electropositive metal. In this method, a more electropositive metal (i.e. the one with a lower reduction potential) serves the purpose of protecting iron agains...
