| Assertion: Galvanised iron does not rust. |
| Reason: Zinc has a more negative electrode potential than iron. [AIIMS 2005] |
| Read the assertion and reason carefully to mark the correct option out of the options given below: |
A) If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
B) If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
C) If assertion is true but reason is false.
D) If the assertion and reason both are false.
E) If assertion is false but reason is true.
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
[a] Zinc metal which has a more negative electrode potential than iron will provide electrons in preference of the iron, and therefore corrode first. Only when all the zinc has been oxidised does the iron start to rust.
