Iron should be protected from moist air.
Answers
Explanation:
If exposed to oxygen and moisture in air, iron will rust or develop a reddish brown layer of hydrated iron oxide or rust that will damamge the iron. Rusting is an electrochemical process . ... Rusting of iron takes place due to the interaction between oxygen and water in air.
Answer:YES iron should be protected from moist air because iron metal reacts with moist air by oxidation to give a hydrated iron oxide.This does not protect iron surface an it leads to rust.
WE can prevent rust by following ways
Galvanization is the process of applying a protective layer of zinc on the metal.
Cathodic protection means providing the metals with an electric charge can help preventing the reactions leads to rust
Coating can be applied to the exposed surface in order to prevent corrosion. Some common examples of coating painting,tarnish,,and using certain waxes.
