Oxidizing impurities in electrolyte increases the corrosion rate.(a) True(b) FalseThis question was addressed to me during a job interview.I need to ask this question from Corrosion Rate Expression topic in section Corrosion Principles of Corrosion Engineering

Answer»

Right choice is (a) True

Explanation: Mixed potential THEORY STATES that any ELECTROCHEMICAL reaction can be divided into two or more partial reactions (OXIDATION and reduction reaction). Presence of oxidizing impurities such as Fe^+3 INCREASES the number of reduction reactions. It correspondingly increases the oxidation rate or corrosion rate.
