Question
A steel (alloy primarily composed of iron) pipe can be protected from corrosion by attaching to the pipe a strip of silver, because...
silver and steel form a corrosion-resistant alloy.
silver forms a tight oxide coating around the steel.
Actually, steel cannot be protected from corrosion by a strip of silver.
silver is inert.
silver is more easily oxidized than the iron in steel.
