Rusting of Fe is quicker in saline water...

Rusting of `Fe` is quicker in saline water than in ordinary water.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
T
The `Na^(o+)` and `Cl^(c-)` present in saline water increase the conductance of the solution in contact with the metal surface. This accelerates the formation of `Fe^(2+)` ions and hence that of rust, `Fe_(2)O_(3).Xh_(2)O`.
