ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
 I would like to express my special thanks of gratitude to my teacher Dr M.S Meena
as well as our principal who gave me the golden opportunity to do this wonderful
project on the topic which also help me in doing a lot of research and I came to
know about so many new things I am really thankful to them.
Introduction
Metals and alloys undergo rusting and corrosion. The process by which some metals
when exposed to atmospheric condition i.e., moist air, carbon dioxide form
undesirable compounds on the surface is known as corrosion, The compounds
formed are usually oxides . Rusting is also a type of corrosion but the term is
restricted to iron or products made from it .Iron is easily prone to rusting making its
surface rough. Chemically, rust is a hydrated ferric oxide.
Practical 1
Aim: to study the
effect of metal
coupling on
rusting of iron.
Requirements for
experiment:
1)TWO PETRI DISHES 2) FOUR TEST – TUBE
3) FOUR IRON NAILS 4) BEAKER 5) SAND
PAPER 6)WIRE GAUGE 7) GELATIN 8)
COPPER, ZINC & MAGNESIUM STRIPS
9)POTASSIUM FERRICYANIDE SOLUTION
10)PHENOLPHTHALEIN.
Procedure
 1)At first we have to clean the surface of iron
nails with the help of sand paper. 2) After that we have
to wind zinc strip around one nail, a clean copper wire
around the second & clean magnesium strip around
the third nail. Then to put all these three and a fourth
nail in Petri dishes so that they are not in contact with
each other. 3) Then to fill the Petri dishes with hot agar
agar solution in such a way that only lower half of the
nails are covered with the liquids .Covered Petri dishes
for one day or so. 4) The liquids set to a gel on
cooling. Two types of patches are observed around
the rusted nail, one is blue and the other pink. Blue
patch is due to the formation of potassium ferro-
ferricyanide where pink patch is due to the formation
of hydroxyl ions which turns colourless
phenolphthalein to pink.

Observation
 S.No. Metal Pair Colour of the patch Nails rusts or not 1 Iron- Zinc 2 Iron -
Magnesium 3 Iron- Copper 4 Iron - Nail

Conclusion:
 It is clear from the observation that coupling of iron with more electropositive
metals such as zinc and magnesium resists corrosion and rusting of iron. Coupling
of iron with less electropositive metals such as copper increases rusting.

Bibliography
Bibliography: For our project we have taken help from following sources ; 1)
Comprehensive (Practical Chemistry – XII) 2) Internet- www.wikipedia.com,
www.encylopedia.com 3) NCERT Chemistry Textbooks.
