Learning Objectives
• 2.18 know the conditions under which iron rusts
•
• 2.19 understand how the rusting of iron may be prevented by:
○ barrier methods
○ galvanising
○ sacrificial protection
•
• 2.20 in terms of gain or loss of oxygen and loss or gain of electrons,
understand the terms:
○ oxidation
○ reduction
○ redox
○ oxidising agent
• reducing agent, in terms of gain or loss of oxygen and loss or gain of
electrons.( OILRIG)
Success Criteria
1. Understand the process of redox
2. Deduce products of displacement reactions

Reactivity series
In order to extract a metal, the ore or compound of the
metal must undergo REDUCTION to free the metal.
OILRIG
Reduction and oxidation
lead oxide + carbon lead + carbon dioxide
2PbO(s) + C(s) 2Pb(s) + CO2(g)
carbon is oxidised
lead oxide is
reduced
Oxidation is the gain of oxygen, reduction is the loss of
oxygen
Corrosion of metals
People who live by the seaside often claim that their cars go
rusty faster.
Does salt speed up the rate of the rusting reaction?

People spend a lot of money making sure that their iron and
steel buildings, engines, lorries and ships do not rust.
galvanising oiling
Because magnesium is
more reactive than iron,
it corrodes first, leaving
the iron intact.
reactive
Eventually the magnesium metal
blocks have to be replaced
iron
because they have
corroded completely away.
