2.35 understand the sacrificial protection of iron in terms of the reactivity series

2.35 •sacrificial method places a more reactive metal with iron 
                   •the water and oxygen with react with the sacrificial metal instead 

         •zinc is used as a sacrificial metal and is called a sacrificial anode
                    •zinc is more reactive, it is oxidised instead of the iron and still protects even when damaged
