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
- (i) Explain Corrosion. Write its two examples.
- Corrosion of pure iron takes place in an acidic electrolyte by forming \(Fe^{2+}\) ions at ambient condition. The corrosion current density is measured to be \(2 \times 10^{-4} \, A \, cm^{-2}\). The corrosion rate (in mm per year) of iron is (rounded off to one decimal place). Given: \[ \text{Atomic weight of iron} = 55.85, \rho = 7.86 \, g/cm^3 \] \[ \text{1 year} = 365 \times 24 \times 3600 \, s, 1F = 96500 \, C/mol \]
- The slopes of reduction potential vs. pH plots for the reactions: 1. \(NiO + 2H^+ + 2e^- \rightleftharpoons Ni + H_2O\) 2. \(2H^+ + 2e^- \rightleftharpoons H_2\) at 298 K are \(S_1\) and \(S_2\). The ratio \(\dfrac{S_1}{S_2}\) is (rounded off to one decimal place).
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?
Consider two blocks, P of mass 100 kg and Q of mass 150 kg, resting as shown in the figure. The angle \( \theta = 30^\circ \). The coefficient of friction between the two blocks is 0.2. Assume no friction exists at all other interfaces. The minimum force required to move the block P upward is \( W \). Which one of the following options is closest to the CORRECT magnitude of \( W \) (in N)?

- Consider the diameter of a spherical object being measured with the help of a Vernier Callipers. Suppose its 10 Vernier Scale Divisions (V.S.D.) are equal to its 9 Main Scale Divisions (M.S.D.). The least count in the M.S. is 0.1 cm and the zero of V.S. is at -0.1 cm when the jaws of Vernier callipers are closed. If the main scale reading for the diameter is \(M = 5\) cm and the number of coinciding vernier division is 8, the measured diameter after zero error correction, is:
