Answer» the two condition Presence of an ELECTROLYTE. The first is the presence of a substance that will CONDUCT electricity and therefore allow the movement of electrons, resulting in the oxidisation of a metal, eg, rust. Commonly, water is associated with CORROSION for when it holds impurities, it will readily conduct electrons. Such impurities are ionic salts such as SODIUM CHLORIDE, acids (commonly those associated with rotting vegetable matter) or alkalies. Temperature. Temperature will hasten just about any chemical reaction and corrosion is just that, a chemical reaction. So the higher the temperature, the faster will be the corrosion. |
