Since aluminum is more reactive than steel, it will be corroded in preference to it. So aluminum loose electrons in preference to the iron to prevent the iron from forming Iron Oxide.
This is used to prevent corrosion in ships. By using a block of zinc attached to the ship's iron surface.. Zinc corrodes in preference to iron..

Basically sacrificial protection right?

Have you come across any challenging questions btw? I'm looking for some.

What's hard about that? :O

bt isnt aluminium havng protective oxide layer which makes it unreactive?

i was doing the same paper , its nt so challengng all u need is an active mind

That's when there is no other metal present. Here aluminium is more reactive than steel. So it sacrifices itself, to protect steel.

I don't understand why prop-1-ene or 2-ene is named I genrally understand the alkenes tho :/

I don't understand why prop-1-ene or 2-ene is named I genrally understand the alkenes tho :/

Depending on the position of the double bond.
For eg, in butene. If the double bond is btw the 1st and 2nd carbon, it is but-1-ene. Btw 2nd and 3rd carbon = but-2-ene.

Chemistry exams in 3 hours . Good luck everyone

It depends on the position of the Carbon double bond which occurs. In case u havent still got it, bring it to scul;I'll tell u

 

[slisjunknown]

Please help guyz I've got a doubt in the question no. 5 c(i)

k.e. = g.p.e.
so 1/2mv^2 = hmg right?
so if mass increases by same amount on both sides, with v constant, height stays the same.
Flawed, twisted logic perhaps, but that was my answer.

And force is inversely proportional to distance only when work/energy is constant. But since g.p.e. is increasing too, I don't think this holds.

I don't care now I'm dumb at Phy.

 

[sumaiyarox:)]

Lol, what else did i say?

Don't know. Didn't see.

Who's adding 'at Phy'?
Hey, but you really are quite good at it, okay? Now don't deny that.
