Question #3
Corrosion of iron is an electrochemical process that requires:
A. Only CO₂
B. An electrolyte, oxygen, and water
C. Only high temperature
D. Only nitrogen

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Rusting involves anodic oxidation of iron (Fe → Fe²⁺ + 2e⁻) and cathodic reduction of oxygen (O₂ + 2H₂O + 4e⁻ → 4OH⁻) in the presence of water acting as electrolyte. CO₂ can form carbonic acid accelerating it, but not required. Nitrogen is inert. High temperature alone doesn't cause rusting without moisture and oxygen.
