Question

why do we apply paint on iron articles​

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer: Rusting of iron is a redox reaction. When iron is exposed to the environmental condition it terribly reacts with water and air and ends up with iron rusting. Iron articles are therefore painted off so that iron can not react with water and air.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

We apply paint on the iron articles to prevent and slow down the process of rusting of iron articles by cutting off the contact of the iron articles with the air and moisture in the external environment

We can also prevent rusting by other methods like galvanization
