Rust is stopped by preventing oxygen from getting to the metal. This is often done with a coat of paint. Oil and grease can prevent it. Some metals are coated with a thin coat of a metal that doesn't...
Rust works in the same was as a battery. It requires a cathode an Anode and a path between the two. While grease may slow the process by helping to block the path it will not prevent rust. Rust is...
great chemistry question.
rusting is a redox reaction (transfer of electrons).
since zinc has a higher activity for reating than does the iron, when together, zinc and iron, even though both metals...
hmm, good question,
If there's no rust on it now you can keep it clean and dry for the most part and make sure there is no bare metal that allows water to create oxidation.
If, on the other hand...
