Which of the following compound is used to cover the surface of the metallic object to prevent corrosion?

  • A.Phenol
  • B.Benzene
  • C.Acetone
  • D.Bisphenol
  • E.Nitrophenol

Answer: D

The compound is Bisphenol.

One way of preventing corrosion is to cover the metal surface with paint or with certain chemicals, and the standard textbook example of such a chemical is bisphenol (used in epoxy coatings). The coating keeps air and moisture away from the metal.

Phenol, benzene, acetone and nitrophenol do not form protective films; acetone and benzene are volatile solvents.

The other ways of preventing corrosion in the same account are galvanising (coating with a more active metal such as zinc) and sacrificial protection with magnesium or zinc.
