Why do we apply paint on iron articles?

Answer»
  • Ferrous reacts with oxygen in the air and form iron oxide.                      2Fe + O→ 2FeO 
  • This reaction is called corrosion. It spoils the iron articles by rusting. 
  • Corrosion of iron articles can be prevented or minimized by shielding the metal surface from oxygen and moisture. 
  • It can be prevented by applying paint on the articles.
