5.
Which of the following statements about corrosion is not correct? a) b) c) d) Atmospheric corrosion of iron occurs very slowly in dry air, but more rapidly in the presence of moisture. Iron rusts more quickly in contact with a less active metal (such as Cu) and slower in contact with a more active metal (such as Mg) Iron rusts more quickly at high OH- ions concentration. Iron does not rust in air-free water, oxygen must be present.
