Question

Which of the following factors play a vital role in the corrosion process:-

• A. Pressure
• B. Temperature
• C. Both A and B
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Temperature

The explanation for the correct option

(B) Temperature

• Corrosion is a natural process through which refined metal is converted into chemically more suitable forms such as carbonate, sulfide, hydroxide, and oxide.
• Environmental factor like air, moisture, water, and temperature plays important role in corrosion.
• Metals undergo an irreversible reaction that turns them into their corroded form by forming their stable oxides.
• Therefore, corrosion is greatly influenced by temperature.

The explanation for the incorrect option

(A)

• Pressure does not play role in corrosion.

(C)

• Pressure does not play role in corrosion.

(D)

• Moisture, water, and temperature plays role in corrosion.

Hence, option (B) is correct. Temperature plays a vital role in the corrosion process.
