Metallurgical Processes Questions

Multiple choice
  1. Malleability

  2. Ductility

  3. Metallurgy

  4. Electroplating

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Ductility is the physical property of a metal that allows it to be stretched or drawn into a thin wire without breaking. Malleability, by contrast, refers to the ability to be hammered into thin sheets.

Multiple choice
  1. increases

  2. decreases

  3. remains the same

  4. is unpredictable

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

When iron rusts, it reacts with oxygen and moisture in the air to form iron oxide. Because oxygen atoms from the air are added to the iron, the total mass of the resulting substance increases.

Multiple choice
  1. It is an oxide of chromium.

  2. It is aluminium cholride.

  3. It is ferric chloride.

  4. It is a reddish brown hydrated oxide of iron.

  5. None of these

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Rust is a reddish brown hydrated oxide of iron. It is formed when iron is exposed to oxygen in the presence of moisture.

Multiple choice
  1. iron and carbon

  2. iron and chromium, nickel and manganese

  3. iron, carbon and metals (chromium, nickel and manganese)

  4. all of the above are incorrect

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Yes, it is made by mixing iron with carbon, chromium, nickel and manganese.

Multiple choice
  1. Steel

  2. Pig iron

  3. Wrought iron

  4. Cast iron

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Wrought iron is the purest form of commercial iron, containing the lowest percentage of carbon (typically less than 0.08 percent). In contrast, pig iron and cast iron have much higher carbon contents.

Multiple choice
  1. ferrous chloride

  2. a mixture of ferrous and ferric hydroxides

  3. ferric sulphate

  4. ferric chloride

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Rust is a hydrated iron oxide, typically represented as a mixture of hydrated ferrous and ferric hydroxides or oxides formed in the presence of oxygen and moisture.
