  1. The following methods applied to prevent rust

   (i) Painting

Paint when introduce on iron/steel prevent

iron/steel to react with water and air.

  (ii) Oiling

Oil when introduce on iron/steel prevent iron/steel to contact with water and air.

  (iii) Galvanization

  Galvanization is the process of mix iron/steel with metal that does not rusting.

When iron/steel mix with metal that does not rusting tend to prevent an iron/steel from rusting. Example Iron sheets are galvanized with zinc

   (iv) Anodizing

   Iron is joined to reactive metals (e.g. Magnesium) by wire. Examples

  • Bridges are anodized to protect it from rusting
  • pipelines are anodized to protect it from rusting

(v) Tin plating

    plating is the coating of iron/steel with tin (metal) that does not rust.

When iron/steel mix with metal that does not rusting tend to prevent an iron/steel from rusting.

   (vi) Use of silica gel

    silica gel is a substance in the form of grains and absorbs moisture.

Example

  • silica gel bags put inside cameral parts which made from iron/steel to prevent rusting

Use of plastic

Uses of plastics tend to avoid cost of damage parts or instruments and household made from rusting.

  1. Air is a mixture due to the following reasons

   (i) Air can be separated into its components like N2, O2 , Argon and CO2 by the process of fractional distillation of liquid air(physical means)

  (ii) It shows the properties of each  gas present in the atmosphere.

For example : Oxygen is good Supporter of combustion. Hence air also is good supporter of combustion.

   (iii) Air does not have a fixed formula.

   (iv) Air has a variable composition because air at different places contains different amount of gases.

   (v) Heat or Light energy is neither absorbed nor released when  air is prepared physically by mixing required amount of gases .

  (vi) Mixture does have fixed boiling Point like air. It holds good in case of liquid air.

  1. (a) We can test the presence of water in air by exposing white anhydrous copper (II) sulphate. White copper two sulphate turns blue after absorbing atmospheric water.

   (b) We can test the presence of carbon dioxide in air by exposing lime water on the watch glass to the air. After few days lime water turns milky is carbon dioxide is contained in the air.

   (c) Copper is used to test if oxygen is present in air. If it is exposed to the air it turn black from brown to show that oxygen is present in air.
