No, the amount of rust is determined by the amount of available oxygen.
The pH will affect the rate of the formation of the rust, not the ultimate amount.
yes. It takes oxygen to oxidize metal (rust) and if your pH level of water is either Alkali or acidic then you wont get rust. A different type of oxidation takes place

∙ 14y agoThe lower the pH level, the higher the rate of corrosion. This is because the acidic hydronium ion which exists in water of low pH oxidizes metals to their ions. When this happens, the ions dissolve and the metal is corroded.

I will also then, increase the copper level in the pool water and will make it difficult to add pH increaser or TA increaser. Both chemicals will stay out of solution. Once they do deslove the copper drops out and the will stain the liner black.
The best solution is to keep an eye on your pH especially when you have a heater.

Rust is created when the matal reacts with the oxygen in the air see. (:
Hope it helped.

Would increasing cytoplasmic pH decrease the rate of sucrose transport into the cell?
No. DECREASING Cytoplasmic pH would decrease the rate of sucrose transport into the cell.
Will enzyme activity be higher or lower if the pH is high?
Yes it does. Enzymes increase rate of reaction as the pH level increases but enzymes work best at optimum pH. If pH level still increase, then enzyme will become denatured and rate of reaction once again decreases.
How hould you demonstrate that elodea carries out photosynthesis at a faster rate than it carries out respiration?
Do a pH test. The more CO2 consumed (photosynthesizing) the higher the pH. The more CO2 produced (Respiring) the lower the pH. And if a plant is photosynthesizing and respiring at the same rate, the pH will remain level. During a lab like this, we used bromothymol blue to test the pH levels. It will turn yellow if pH <7, blue if pH >7, and Green as the solution changes from acid to base or base to acid.
What are the optimum temperature and the optimum pH of an enzyme?
Every enzyme works at its maximum rate at a specific temprature called as optimum temprature for that enzyme. AND all enzymes work at their maximum rate at narrow range of pH, called as optimum pH. A slight increase or decrease in pH causes the retardation in enzyme activity or blocks it completely.
What happens if enzymes are not at optimum ph?
Enzyme become denatured.
Why would a metal corrode more quickly in a salt water than distilled water?
In a medium of lower pH (acidic), the rate of corrosion is high. If the pH of medium is below 3 (approximately), even in absence of air severe corrosion takes place due to rapid evolution of hydrogen at cathodic areas, facilitating anodic oxidation of the metal and dissociation of corrosion product, exposing fresh metal surface for corrosion. In distilled water (pH about 7), rate of corrosion is relatively lower.
What is a hypothesis for how pH in water Affects Copper Corrosion?
If the water's pH is more acidic (lower pH) then the effects of copper corrosion will be faster and more pronounce. If the water is less acidic (Higher pH) copper corrosion will take longer and be less pronounce.
What makes the corrosion rate higher in industrial areas than in urban areas?
Taking a look at the industrial areas,the corrosion rate seems to be higher since the industrial area can be said to be a combination of both an urban centre and a rural centre and invariably has a corrosion rate= corrosion rate of urban + corrosion rate of rural areas
Why does corrosion rate of no value on localized corrosion?
in my opinion, the value of corrosion rate obtained from certain reading is generally determine general corrosion rate, regardless what type of corrosion occur on a specific surface. in localized corrosion, where only some spots on surface is exposed to corrosion and other may be covered by film and etc. From my time of study, still didn't fine any research that can determine corrosion rate of localized corrosion unless u have a really micro- instrumentation that can monitor corrosion on the localized spots..

Why would you want to control the rate of corrosion?
You would want to control the rate of corrosion for an object in order to extend the life of that object and/or to be able to observe the corrosion in a controlled situation.
What two substances cause corrosion?
oxygen and low pH (acidic) substances.
What is the relation between pK and pH?
At half equivalence (half neutralisation) pH=pK.
If there is higher pH is the liquid denser?
no. its not like that pH usually have no relation or direct correlation with the density
What is the relation between pH and quality of soap?
Soap, no matter how good a soap is, is soap. The pH will never change in relation to the quality of soap. It is a 'basic' pH'ed molecule (NaOH).
What is ams 5659?
this specification describes 15-5 PH corrosion resistant steel bar.
Is there any relation between forced vortex and water pH?
No.
State the relation between reduction electrode potential of metal electrode and its tendency towards corrosion?
When the reduction electrode potential of the metal electrode increases there will be a tendency towards corrosion.
