Do basic substances prevent corrosion?
« on: October 10, 2010, 02:13:44 PM »
I am currently wondering if these three materials:
Paint, Soap, and Cooking Oil
can be used to prevent the corrosion of copper or the rust of iron.

Is anybody able to help me confirm that those three prevents any process of corrosion?

Definitely not soap as oxygen is, obviously, a major constituent.

Most Common Suggestions I Make on the Forums.
1. Start by writing a balanced chemical equation.
2. Don't confuse thermodynamic stability with chemical reactivity.
3. Forum Supports LaTex

Ah, right. Soap has some oxygen in it.
Thanks, Mitch. I highly appreciate your help ;)
