A zinc coating is added to the surface of a tin component to provide corrosion protection to the tin. Assume that the coating ad

heres to (physically contacts) the underlying tin. A small region of the zinc coating is chipped, but the remainder of the coating remains intact. What do you expect will happen to the coating and the exposed tin in the presence of salt water and oxygen?

Answer:

In the presence of salt water and oxygen the coating will not corrode. As long as zinc coating is present and remains intact corrosion is not possible.

Explanation:

Here it is given that a tin is present so firstly tin is made of a chemical element

which belongs to carbon family in periodic table of group 14.

It is a silvery,soft, white metal with a bluish tinge.

Now the covering which is been done on the tin is Zinc.

so, zinc is known to be served as a sacrificial coater.

Their is an amazing reason behind zinc coating being so effective and intact  i.e. Its own corrosive properties are such that it stops corrosion.

Their is a process which is known as a galvanic corrosion which refers to that "ZINC" defers to the metal  to which it is protecting.

It is even more electrochemically active than iron itself.

Here, it is mentioned that zinc coating gets chipped but the coating remains intact. So, if the zinc is not removed from the tin's surface it will not get corroded when it is exposed to salt water and oxygen.

Answer:

We are in Tropical Rainforests.

Explanation:

Biome is basically an ecological region of earth that has specific type of flora and fauna (plants and animals). Every biome has specific abiotic factors like specific climate, temperature, geology, vegetation, soils and relief.

There are total 8 biomes in the world

  • Desert
  • Grassland
  • Temperate Boreal Forest  
  • Chaparral
  • Tropical Savanna
  • Tropical Rainforest
  • Tundra
  • Temperate Deciduous Forest

Now in our question, we have been given some conditions and are asked to identify the biome. The annual precipitation is about 300 cm and the average temperature is around 25 degrees Celsius.

Now, if we study the characteristics of all these biomes, it is very simple to identify that the biome is Tropical Rainforest.

Important characteristics of Tropical Rainforest:

  • They receive more than 200 cm of rain each year.
  • The temperature of the biome is between 20 degree Celsius and 25 degree Celsius during the whole year.
  • Around 50 percent of the animal specie of the world are found here.

<em>Note: </em><em>You can study the characteristics of world’s other biomes in the link : http://www.physicalgeography.net/fundamentals/9k.html </em>


Hope it helps!  :)
