Questions and Answers

How does 'overvoltage' affect the corrosion rate of a metal in the galvanic series?

  • Increases the effective electrode potential of the metal
  • Lowers the effective electrode potential of the metal (correct)
  • Enhances the corrosion rate of the metal
  • Reduces the corrosion rate of the metal
  • How does the physical state of metals influence corrosion?

  • Stress has no impact on corrosion
  • Larger grain size reduces corrosion
  • Strained metal decreases electrode potential
  • Smaller grain size increases corrosion (correct)
  • In what type of medium does metal corrosion occur faster according to the text?

  • Neutral conditions
  • Extreme heat
  • Acidic conditions (correct)
  • Alkaline conditions
  • How does humidity impact the corrosion of metals based on the text?
