Tin plated steel is used to make food cans because the components of food beverages and the preservatives contain organic acids or their salts. They may form toxic substances by reacting with iron. These acids and salts are corrosive. Tin plating is non-poisonous and prevents corrosion.

An oxidizing agent is the reactant containing the element that is reduced (gains electrons) in a chemical reaction. A reducing agent is the reactant containing the element that is oxidized (loses electrons) in a chemical reaction.

known as electrolytic solution. It is carried out in a cell. For example electrolytic conduction in NaCl Electronic Conduction: The movement of electrons through the metal environment is known as electronic conduction. It is carried out around of the metal surface. i.e. Electronic conduction in iron metal. The final destination of electrons which are discharged at anode is cations of cathode. In order to study electrochemical changes, one must use direct current in which the electrons move only in one direction, not in oscillating back and forth pattern of alternating current. Metals like sodium, magnesium, aluminium and copper. Gases like chlorine and fluorine. Compounds like caustic soda No. Lead chloride PbCl2 is very sparingly soluble in water. In other words, is almost insoluble in water. Hence, its electrolysis

solution containing cyanide ions must not be dropped into rivers and streams. This is responsible for killing fish and other animals. Tin plating is non-poisonous and prevents corrosion. It is the art of depositing one metal over the surface of another metal with the help of Electric Current. Purpose: i) Preservation from rusting and enhancing the life of metals ii) Decoration. Electrolytic Cell: - In this cell a nonspontaneous oxidation -reduction reaction takes place with the help of electrical energy. Voltaic Cell: - In this cell a spontaneous oxidation-reduction reaction is used to produce electric current.

Corrosion can be prevented by painting the metal, so that it does not come in contact with oxygen and moisture. The tendency of iron to oxidize can be greatly reduced b alloying it with other metals. Metals that readily corrode can be protected by coating with a thin layer of another metals that resist corrosion. In the process of tin plating, clean iron sheet is dipped in a bath of molten tin and then passed through hot pair of rollers.

Question: Define Electrolyte and also write its types? The compounds in molten state or in aqueous solution through which electricity can pass are called electrolyte. And the compounds through which electricity cannot pass are called non-electrolyte. Strong Electrolyte: Ionization is complete in these electrolytes. For example, in a dilute solution of NaCl there will no formula unit present. Their examples of strong electrolytes are mineral acids, caustic alkalies and their salts. Weak Electrolyte: Ionization is incomplete in these electrolytes. Their examples are ammonium hydroxide, tartaric acid, citric acid and carbonic acid. Question: Define Electroplating and describe its objectives? Also describe its process. It is the process in which a metal is deposited on another metal electrolytically. There are three main objectives of electroplating: Decoration: We deposit noble metals (like Gold & Silver) on inferior metals to enhance their beauty. Protection: Electroplating protect the inferior metals from rusting and reaction of organic salts. Repair: To weld the broken parts of the machinery by electro-deposition of metals. Procedure of Electroplating: i) ii) iii)
