Identify the two statements which are incorrect regarding Corrosion of Iron.
A. During electrical protection of underground Iron pipes from corrosion the connected Mg plate undergoes reduction.
B. At the Cathodic area on Iron the reaction occurring is \(4 \mathrm{H}^{+}+\mathrm{O}_2+4 \mathrm{e} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\)
C. Rust formed \(\mathrm{Fe}_2 \mathrm{O}_3 . \mathrm{xH}_2 \mathrm{O}\) is an acidic oxide.
D. The \(\mathrm{H}^{+}\)ions are obtained from water containing dissolved gases like \(\mathrm{SO}_2, \mathrm{NO}_2\) or \(\mathrm{CO}_2\).
- A A & D
- B C & B
- C B & D
- D A & C
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) A & C
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
In the process of cathodic protection of iron pipes, a more reactive metal like magnesium is used as a sacrificial anode. The magnesium undergoes oxidation (\(Mg \rightarrow Mg^{2+} + 2e^{-}\)) to protect the iron. Therefore, statement A is incorrect because Mg undergoes…
