Out of zinc and tin which one protects iron better even after cracks and why?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine which metal, zinc or tin, protects iron better even after cracks, we need to analyze their electrochemical properties and their behavior in corrosion prevention. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Corrosion**: - Corrosion of iron occurs when it reacts with oxygen and moisture in the environment, leading to the formation of rust (iron oxide). - To prevent rusting, a protective layer or a sacrificial anode can be used. ...
