Effect of temperature on rate of wet corrosion
Answers
Answered by

On increasing temperature, the rate of corrosion increases.
Understanding:
1) Since, Corrosion reactions are electrochemical in nature.
We know that, on increasing temperature speed of ions taking part in reaction increases.
So, they are usually accelerated with increase in temperature.
=> Corrosion proceeds faster in warmer environment rather than cooler one..
But, major role in corrosion is played by Oxygen.
