In the process of Galvanisation, which metal is coated over iron?

In the process of Galvanisation, which metal is coated over iron? Correct Answer Zinc

The correct answer is option 4, i.e. Zinc.

  • In the process of Galvanisation, Zinc is coated over iron. 
  • Zinc is coated over iron to protect the latter from rusting.
  • The most common way of galvanizing iron is dipping it in the hot molten zinc.
  • When iron comes in contact with air and moisture, rust forms over it and eats away the metal.
  • Rust is hydrated iron oxide with the chemical formula Fe2O3. nH2O.
  • When Zinc gets coated over the iron it protects iron from coming in contact with air and moisture.

An iron blast furnace produces hot metal containing 95% Fe. The iron ore charged into the furnace contains 95% Fe2O3 and the rest is gangue. Assume that all the iron in the ore goes to hot metal. The amount of iron ore (in kg) required for producing 1000 kg of hot metal is (Atomic weight of Fe = 56 g mol-1 and that of Fe2O3 = 160 g mol-1)
