CHECKPOINT _ Chemistry : Rusting Seatwork

Worksheet 

Rusting of iron


NAME : _________________________       DAY, DATE   :  _________________________________



1 Rusting of a car can only happen when oxygen and water are able to get at the iron metal. The iron will then form iron oxide. The iron oxide flakes off and the metal underneath begins to rust.


a Why might a rusty car be dangerous?

b What could you do to protect a car from rust?

c Write a word equation for the chemical reaction that forms rust.


2 The diagrams show the results of an experiment about corrosion.


a Which nail has corroded the most?


b Which nail has not corroded? 





c From the experiment, what substances are needed before iron will corrode? 



d Give three ways of slowing down or stopping corrosion of iron.

Rusting of Iron - Investigation Result

Rustiong of Iron Investigation

Rusting Investigation



Collect the following: -

  • 5 test tubes

  • 1 beaker

  • Cotton wall

  • 1 painted iron nail

  • 4 normal nails

  • 6 labels


Carry out the following five experiments – make sure you label each test tube, and label the beaker with all your test tubes in with your group name



Experiment 1

Place the painted nail in a test tube and totally cover with water – label this painted nail + water



Experiment 2

Put a plain nail in a test tube and ½ cover this with water – label this control



Experiment 3

Cover a plain nail in Vaseline (using a paper towel) and totally cover with water – label this greased nail



Experiment 4

Add some calcium chloride crystals in a test tube, and add a little cotton wool in the top of the test tube, pushing it down with a spatula so that it is just above the crystals. Add a plain nail on top of the cotton wool, and place some more cotton wool in the top of the test tube – label this calcium chloride



Experiment 5

Put a plain nail in a test tube and totally cover this with boiled water. Add a little oil on top of the water, and bung the test tube – label this oil
