#1
Front (Question)

Barrier method

Back (Answer)

Method of rust prevention by coating iron with paint, oil, grease or plastic, so that oxygen/water cannot reach the iron/steel.

#2
Front (Question)

Galvanisation

Back (Answer)

Method of rust prevention by coating iron with a layer of zinc.

#3
Front (Question)

Oxidation

Back (Answer)

Gain of oxygen or loss of electrons.

#4
Front (Question)

Oxidising agent

Back (Answer)

Something that oxidises something else. An oxidising agent is reduced in the reaction.

#5
Front (Question)

Reducing agent

Back (Answer)

Something that reduces something else. A reducing agent is oxidised in the reaction.

#6
Front (Question)

Reduction

Back (Answer)

Loss of oxygen or gain of electrons.

#7
Front (Question)

Rust

Back (Answer)

Corrosion of iron in the presence of water and oxygen, called hydrated iron(III) oxide.

#8
Front (Question)

Sacrificial protection

Back (Answer)

Method of rust prevention by attaching a block of more reactive metal to the iron where the more reactive metal undergoes oxidation in preference to the iron.

#9
Front (Question)

Reactivity series

Back (Answer)

A list of elements (mainly metals) in order of decreasing reactivity.

#10
Front (Question)

Redox

Back (Answer)

Reaction which involves both reduction and oxidation occurring together.
