Options
- ACorrosion of iron can be minimized by forming a contact with another metal with a higher reduction potential
- BIron corrodes in oxygen-free water
- CCorrosion of iron can be minimized by forming an impermeable barrier at its surface
- DIron corrodes more rapidly in salt water because its electrochemical potential is higher
Correct answer
C. Corrosion of iron can be minimized by forming an impermeable barrier at its surface
Step-by-step solution
