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 correct option is B.

The explanation for the correct option:

1. Corrosion is a natural process through which refined metal is converted into chemically more suitable forms such as carbonate, sulfide, hydroxide, and oxide.
2. Environmental factor like air, moisture, water, and temperature plays important role in corrosion.
3. An increase in temperature contributes to an increase in the number of active centers of corrosion on the metal surface and accelerates the development of corrosion processes.
4. Therefore, it is necessary to provide the protection of metal products, equipment and structures operating at elevated temperatures.

The explanation for the incorrect option:

Option A

Pressure does not play role in corrosion.

Option C

Pressure does not play role in corrosion.

Option D

Moisture, water, and temperature plays role in corrosion.

Final answer: Temperature plays a vital role in the corrosion process.
