PREVENTION OF RUSTING
Usean Alloy: The use of alloys, like stainless steel, is one of the most
common ways to prevent rust, or slow it down. (Alloys are a mixture of
metals / non metals.
Apply Oil: A coating of oil will help to prevent rust or slow it down, since
it inhibits moisture from reaching the iron in the metal.
Paint the Metal: A good quality paint will slow down rusting by
preventing moisture from reaching the metal.
Galvanize: Galvanizing coats iron or steel with zinc to protect from rust.
Electroplating : When we plate a desired metal onto iron by using
electricity.
2. BROWNING OF FRUITS AND
VEGETABLES
Enzymic browning can be observed in fruits such as
apricots, pears, bananas, grapes and avocados, potatoes.
Enzymatic browning is a chemical process that occurs in
fruits and vegetables. It causes the flesh to discolor, most
commonly in a brown color.
This effect is caused by a naturally occurring enzyme found
in fruits and vegetables, polyphenol oxidase.
Oxidation of food taking place on the surface of
the fruit or veggie is the reason for browning.
Skin of food act as barrier from outside air.
Oxidation decreases the nutritional value and
flavor of food.
SO… HOW DO WE PREVENT THIS????

When the magnesium metal
burns, it reacts with oxygen
found in the air to
form Magnesium Oxide.
How do we identify the chemical nature of
the product formed ?
There are 3 observations:
calcium
carbonate breaks
down
into calcium
oxide and carbo
n dioxide.
(b) By using sunlight
