Solution

Rusting:

  1. This rust is formed as a result of a redox reaction between oxygen and iron in the presence of water (such as air containing high levels of moisture).
  2. Iron rusting is characterized by the formation of a layer of a red, flaky substance that easily crumbles into powder.

Electroplating:

  1. Electroplating is the process of plating one metal onto another via hydrolysis, usually to prevent metal corrosion or for decorative purposes.
  2. An electric current is used in the process to reduce dissolved metal cations and create a lean coherent metal coating on the electrode.
  3. It also helps in preventing metals from rusting.

Hence, Electroplating helps in preventing metals from rusting.
