Question:
The galvanized article is protected against rusting even if the zinc coating is broken.please tell me why?
Answer:
If the zinc coating is broken, the galvanised object remains protected against rusting because zinc is more reactive than iron and hence can be easily oxidised . Thus when zinc layer breaks down, the zinc continues to react and gets oxidised . Hence iron is protected.
