Question
Explain why, the galvanised iron article is protected against rusting even if the zinc layer is broken.
✓
Answer
The galvanized iron object remains protected against rusting even if a break occurs in the zinc layer because zinc is more easily oxidised than iron. Hence, the zinc continues to corrode but iron object does not corrode or rust.
