Q.
Zinc can be coated on iron to produce galvanized iron but the reverse is not possible. It is because [2016]

1 zinc is lighter than iron

2 zinc has lower melting point than iron

3 zinc has lower negative electrode potential than iron

4 zinc has higher negative electrode potential than iron.

Ans.
(4)

Reduction potential values of $E_{{Zn}^{2 +} / Zn}^{\circ} = - 0.76$ $V$ and $E_{{Fe}^{2 +} / Fe}^{\circ} = - 0.44$ $V$

Thus, due to higher negative electrode potential value of zinc than iron, iron cannot be coated on zinc.

2 zinc has lower melting point than iron

3 zinc has lower negative electrode potential than iron

4 zinc has higher negative electrode potential than iron.

Ans. (4) Reduction potential values of EZn2+/Zn∘=-0.76 V and EFe2+/Fe∘=-0.44 V Thus, due to higher negative electrode potential value of zinc than iron, iron cannot be coated on zinc.
