O b. Basic
O
c. Neutral
O d. both b&c​

Answer 1

Answer:

electrons flow through the metal, from anode to cathode, where H+ ions of acidic solution are eliminated as hydrogen gas. Oxygen Absorption Type: Rusting of iron in neutral aqueous solution of electrolytes (like NaCl solution) in the presence of atmospheric oxygen is a common example of this type of corrosion.
