Question

Which of the following factors play vital role in corrosion process?

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

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Temperature

Explanation for correct option:

B. Temperature

Corrosion:

• “The surface of some metals, such as iron, is corroded when they are exposed to moist air for a long period of time. This phenomenon is known as corrosion.”

Factors affecting corrosion:

• Exposure of metals to air
• Exposure to moisture
• Presence of impurities
• Temperature

Thus, out of the given options, temperature plays a vital role in corrosion as with an increase in temperature, there is an increase in the rate of corrosion.

Explanation for incorrect options:

Temperature plays a vital role in corrosion. Thus, options A, C, and D are incorrect.

Hence, the correct option is B i.e., Temperature.
