Question:

Which of the following methods is suitable for preventing an iron frying pan from rusting?

Applying grease

Applying paint

Applying a coating of zinc

All of the above

Solution:

The correct option is C Applying a coating of zinc. Applying paint and grease are not suitable solutions to prevent an iron frying pan from rusting as the paint can melt by flame and can be destroyed in repeated use. Applying a coating of zinc is a better option as it forms a coating of corrosion-resistant zinc which prevents corrosive substances from reaching the more delicate part of the metal.
