The cathodic reaction that occurs during corrosion in oxygenated acidic solution is ______(a) 2H^++2e^–==>H2(b) 4H^++O2+4e^–==>2H2O(c) 2H2O+2e^–==>H2+2OH^–(d) 2H2O+O2+4e^–==>4OH^–This question was posed to me in an online quiz.This is a very interesting question from Corrosion and its Classification in section Corrosion Principles of Corrosion Engineering |

Answer» CORRECT choice is (b) 4H^++O2+4e^–==>2H2O The best I can explain: The COMMON hydrogen REDUCTION reaction in corrosion will proceed based on the pH and the amount of oxygen present in the solution. Then oxygenated ACIDIC solution (pH < 7) will react as 4H^++O2+4e^–==>2H2O. |
