To determine

The type of corrosion where dissolution of metal occurs when connected electrically to a more noble metal in an electrolyte.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
The rate of corrosion in a galvanic cell can be reduced by: a. Increasing the temperature of the galvanic cell. b. Reducing the surface area of the anode in comparison to the cathode. c. Reducing the surface area of the cathode in comparison to anode. d. Increasing the ion concentration in the electrolyte.
Which of the following describes galvanic corrosion? Select one: a. Two metals/alloys of different compositions are coupled while exposed to an electrolyte. b. Oxidation and reduction reactions occur randomly over the surface. c. Localized corrosion that may be initiated at a surface defect. d. Corrosion that results from a difference in concentration of ions or dissolved gases in the electrolyte. e. Corrosion that occurs preferentially along grain boundaries. f. Corrosion resulting from the combined action of chemical attack and mechanical abrasion or wear. g. One element is preferentially removed as a result of corrosion. h. Corrosion resulting from the combined action of an applied tensile stress and a corrosive environment.
This corrosion is due to the variation in difference in potential of the metals * O Uniform Galvanic Inter-granular O Stress
