Rusting of iron is quicker in saline water than in ordinary water . Give reasons

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In.saline water. the pressence of Na. and Cl iron increases the conductance of the solution in contact with the metal surface. This increases the rate of formation of `Fe^2+` iòn and hehce the formation of rust. `Fe, O_2 xx xH, O`
