matal corredes due to salt true false
Answers
Answer:
True, it accelerates it . Water is the enabler of fast oxidation of iron so freshwater will also cause rust. However, salt water is a very good conductor (lots of dissociated ions) and so there are a number of electrolysis reactions that tremendously accelerate corrosion in salt water.
Answer:
True
Explanation:
Rust happens through a chemical process called oxidation in which metal atoms lose electrons, forming ions. Salt accelerates the rusting process in presence of water by lowering the electrical resistance of water and increasing its electrical conductivity. This causes the number of ions present in water to increase. The more easily the electrons flow from iron to oxygen, the quicker the metal rusts.
Hence, the given statement is true.
