Q. Which of the following is/are correct when oxidizing agents are added to a corrosion system containing a non-passivating metal?

View solution

Q. The corrosion rate is usually dependent at low velocity whereas at high velocities it becomes independent.

View solution

Q. Which of the following type of polarization has a negligible effect on velocity?

View solution

Q. Severe corrosion of metals occurred when coupled with platinum is due to the higher current density for hydrogen evolution but not due to the reversible potential of the platinum-platinum ion electrode.

View solution

Q. The reversible potential of gold is more positive than platinum in emf series whereas in galvanic series the position of gold is below platinum.

View solution

Q. In a galvanic couple, the corrosion rate of the metal with active corrosion potential is accelerated whereas the corrosion rate of noble metal retards preferentially.
