But wouldn't that decrease the pH as the acid-base reactions are used up, and in the end it would neutralise again, before the Hydroxy group can react with the Fe2+ ion and hence corrosion rate will only increase in neutral and acidic environments
Why is the corrosion process accelerated in acidic environments?
I thought it was because the production of OH- neutralises with the acid and by le Chateliers principle the production of OH- is increased.
How do you carry out desk checking, I've tried to attempt it on the Heisennen books but it's fair confusing, can someone help me out?:argue: it's like it's gibberish or somethin'
