Question

Which metal is electroplated on iron to prevent it from rust

Open in App
Solution

Dear student,
Tin is the metal used to electroplate iron cans or utensils used for storing food because it is less reactive than iron and it shields them from corrosion or rusting. It makes the cans corrosion free, non- poisonous and shiny too
