Zinc is used to protect iron from corrosion because
Ered of An < Ered of iron
Eoxidation of Zn < Eoxidation of iron
Eoxidation of Zn = Eoxidation of iron
Zinc is cheaper than iron
A.
Ered of An < Ered of iron
Zinc is used to protect iron from corrosion because it is more active metal than iron and it has the tendency to lose electrons with respect to iron. In other words, zinc has a negative reduction potential higher than that of iron.
