What is the metal that burns more vigorously in air than iron?
Berylium because it has a higher reactivity rate.
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.
How do you detect corrosion?
if you mean corrosion the battery...it looks like a white rust look around the two ends of the battery (the + positive and the - negative) BUT not all the time u will able to see corrosion on the ends....if that's the case unscrew the termanels in and out to get a good connection....normally if there is no power at all the ground (negative) is the most common but that doesnt mean its the negative
Why does temperature of an acid affect the rate of reactivity?
all acid contain the element hydrogen. all metal carbonates react with dilute acid giving off carbon dioxide gas.
What chemical inhibitors are often used. And what chemical reactions are they used in?
An inhibitor is a substance added in a system with the goal to decrease the rate of reaction. Example: inhibitors added to decrease the rate of corrosion, inhibitors in drugs the decease the activity of an enzyme, etc.
Where in the reactivity series are the metals most affected by corrosion?
The rate of corrosion is directly linked to a metal's reactivity. The higher the metal in the series, the more reactive, also more susceptible to corrosion with oxygen and water. aluminum is not easy to corrode. Aluminum quickly reacts with oxygen in the air, and the oxide layer that forms protects the metal underneath from any further reaction.
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.
Is reactivity with acid extensive or intensive property?
Reactivity is intensive property, reaction rate is extensive.
Will hydrochloric acid corrode 316 sTAINLESS?
Yes it will, the corrosion rate will increase with the temperature but corrosion is already occurring at room temperature.
At what temperature does corrosion start?
rate of corossion is directly proportional to temperature
What effects does ammonia have on steel?
Ammonia reduces the rate of corrosion on steel.
Where is steel used in Rusting out how acids affect the rate of corrosion?
stain
What are two other factors that affect the rate of the reaction?
The properties of reactants (reactivity) and catalytic behaviour
The mathematical link between a bond's price and interest rate change is the?
Modified Duration
What is the metal that burns more vigorously in air than iron?
Berylium because it has a higher reactivity rate.
