Mục tiêu

So sánh các phương pháp chống rỉ sét khác nhau và hiểu nguyên lý điện hóa của bảo vệ galvanic (anot hy sinh).

Bối cảnh

Iron rusts when it is oxidized by oxygen in the presence of water. Various methods can prevent this: physical barriers (oil, paint), galvanizing (zinc coating), and sacrificial anodes (zinc blocks). The galvanic methods work because zinc is more reactive than iron and corrodes preferentially.

Cảnh báo an toàn

  • Handle nails carefully to avoid cuts
  • Nail polish should be used in ventilated area

PPE cần thiết

goggles

Vật liệu

  • Iron nails (6) (6)
    Identical, clean
  • Zinc strip (1 piece)
    Wrap around one nail
  • Copper wire (30 cm)
    Wrap around one nail
  • Petroleum jelly (small amount)
    For coating
  • Clear nail polish (1 bottle)
    For coating
  • Sodium chloride (NaCl) (30 g)
    Salt water accelerates rusting
  • Distilled water (300 mL)

Thiết bị

6 test tubes and rack Marker for labeling Timer

Quy trình

1

Label six test tubes: Control, Oil, Nail Polish, Zinc, Copper, Dry.

2 phút
2

Prepare nails: coat one with petroleum jelly, one with nail polish, wrap one with zinc strip, wrap one with copper wire, leave two uncoated.

8 phút Use nail polish in ventilated area
3

Prepare salt water: dissolve 10 g NaCl in 100 mL water.

2 phút
4

Place one prepared nail in each test tube. Add salt water to all except the Dry tube. The Dry tube gets a dry nail as additional control.

3 phút
5

Observe all tubes immediately and record initial appearance.

2 phút
6

Check all tubes after 24 hours, 48 hours, and 1 week. Record the extent of rust formation in each.

10 phút
7

Compare results. Rank methods by effectiveness and explain the electrochemical principles.

Kết quả dự kiến

After 1 week: Control (heavy rust), Oil (minimal rust), Nail Polish (minimal rust), Zinc-wrapped (no rust on iron, zinc corrodes instead), Copper-wrapped (accelerated rusting near copper due to galvanic corrosion), Dry (no rust). Zinc provides galvanic protection; copper accelerates corrosion.

Dọn dẹp

Dispose of salt water down the drain. Discard rusty nails. Clean test tubes.
