Chapter 14, Problem 20E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The way given processes prevent the rusting of iron is to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

The chemical reaction in which oxidation process and reduction process take place simultaneously, is called a redox reaction.

The rusting of iron requires conduction of electrons and is an oxidation-reduction reaction.

Rusting of iron is a redox reaction that takes place in the presence of oxygen. Iron loses electrons easily and gets oxidized in the redox reaction.
