Iron galvanized with zinc is cathodically protected from corrosion. This is because?

A.

zinc has a more positive oxidation potential than iron

B.

zinc has less positive oxidation potential than iron

C.

bith have the same oxidation potential

D.

zinc is harder than iron

Correct answer is A

Iron galvanized with zinc is cathodically protected from corrosion because Zinc has a more positive oxidation potential than iron. This means that Zinc will preferentially corrode, acting as a sacrificial anode.

In a reaction: \(SnO_{2} + 2C → Sn + 2CO\) the mass of coke containing 80% carbon required to reduce 0.302 kg of pure tin oxide is?
(Sn - 119, O - 16, C - 12).

A.

0.40 kg

B.

0.20 kg

C.

0.06 kg

D.

0.04 kg

Correct answer is C

In the reaction: \(SnO_{2} + 2CO\)
From the equation above
2(12 g) carbon = 151 g \(SnO_{2}\)

24 g carbon =151 g \(SnO_{2}\)
= 0.302 kg \(SnO_{2}\) = 24/151g χ 0.0302 kg carbon = 0.048 kg carbon

Mass of coke is required not mass of carbon,so it is (0.048\(\times\)100)\(\div\)80 = 0.06
