From the following select the one which is not an example of corrosion.
- Rusting of iron object
- Production of hydrogen by electrolysis of water
- Tarnishing of silver
- Development of green coating on copper and bronze ornaments
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Corrosion is the deterioration of a material due to a chemical reaction with its environment.
- Rusting of iron is a corrosion process (oxidation of iron).
- Tarnishing of silver is a type of corrosion (formation of silver sulfide).
- Development of a green coating (patina) on copper and bronze is a form of corrosion (formation of copper carbonate and other compounds).
- Production of hydrogen by electrolysis of water is not a corrosion process. It's an electrochemical process where water is decomposed into hydrogen and oxygen.
Therefore, the process which is not an example of corrosion is the production of hydrogen by electrolysis of water.
Top Questions on Corrosion
The figure shows a rod PQ, hinged at P, rotating counter-clockwise with a uniform angular speed of 15 rad/s. A block R translates along a slot cut out in rod PQ. At the instant shown the distance \( PR = 0.5 \, {m} \) and \( \theta = 60^\circ \). The relative velocity of R with respect to the rod PQ is 5 m/s at the instant shown. The relative acceleration of R with respect to the rod PQ is zero at the instant shown.
Which one of the following is the CORRECT magnitude of the absolute acceleration (in m/s\(^2\)) of block R?
