An iron ship is continuously exposed to seawater, which can cause corrosion (rusting) of its hull.
Which of the following methods provides the most effective long-term protection
to the iron at the bottom of the ship? 

1. Coat the iron surface with red lead oxide paint

2. Cover the iron surface with a layer of tin (tin plating) 

3. Attach blocks of magnesium to the iron hull

4. Attach blocks of lead to the iron hull

When 0.1 mole of MnO^2-₄ is oxidised, the quantity of electricity required to completely oxidise MnO^2-₄ to MnO^-₄ is 

1. 96500 C

2. 2*96500 C

The Zn acts as sacrificial or cathodic protection to prevent rusting of iron because:

1. $E_{OP}^{\circ }$ of Zn < $E_{OP}^{\circ }$ of Fe

3. $E_{OP}^{\circ }$ of Zn = $E_{OP}^{\circ }$ of fe

4. Zn is cheaper than iron
