Q.Give the uses of zinc.

Step 1. Galvanising: metallic zinc is coated onto iron and steel structures specifically to protect them from rusting and corrosion, since zinc corrodes preferentially in place of the underlying iron.

Step 2. Die-casting: zinc is used to produce die-cast components in the automobile, electrical and hardware industries, exploiting its relatively low melting point and good castability.

Step 3. Zinc oxide's uses: manufacture of paints, rubber, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, plastics, inks, batteries, textiles and electrical equipment.

Step 4. Zinc sulphide's uses: making luminous paints, fluorescent lights and X-ray screens. …
