The addition of zinc, a sacrificial anode, would prevent the iron metal from corroding. According to the table of Standard Reduction Potentials, the standard reduction potential of zinc is about -0.76 volts. The standard reduction potential of iron is about -0.44 volts.
Zinc is a corrosion-resistant metal with a bluish white colour. Zinc is used in particular to protect other metals such as iron or steel and to extend their life. This process is also known as âelectro galvanisingâ. Zinc is the fourth most used metal, coming directly below iron, copper and aluminium.
