40. It is common to notice that iron articles rust faster in wet weather than in dry weather.
Silver articles, on the other hand, turn black in air in ay season, and aluminium articles,
when exposed to moist air, lose their lustre and their surface becomes dull after a while,
ad copper vessels become coated with a green layer. Iron sheets coated with zinc are
frequently used to protect iron from rusting. Such as in buckets iron water pipes.
