1.

In general, "organic" materials are more corrosive than the "inorganic".F

2.
Corrosion in the petroleum industry is due more to sodium chloride and
sulfur, than to the oil or gasoline.T
3.
Dry chlorine is practically non-corrosive to ordinary steel, but moist chlorine,
or chlorine dissolved in water, is extremely corrosive and attacks most of the
common metals and alloys.T4.

Dry chlorine gas is more corrosive to titanium than wet chlorine.T

5.
When zinc is placed in dilute HCl, a vigorous reaction occurs while the
chloride ion is not involved in the reaction.T6.
The cathodic reaction that is frequently encountered in metallic corrosion in
neutral solutions is O2 + 2H2O + 4e- = 4OH-T
7.
Concentration polarization usually is the controlling factor during corrosion in
media containing a high concentration of active species (i.e., concentrated acids).F
8.

Concentration polarization is only important during reduction reactions.T

9.
Many of the common acids, such as sulfuric, acetic, hydrofluoric and others,
are virtually inert when in the pure state, or 100% concentration.T
10.
There is no theoretical way of precisely determining the exchange current
density for any given system; it must be determined experimentally.T
11.
The limiting diffusion current density iL, represents the maximum rate of
reduction possible for a given system.T
12.
The diffusion layer thickness is influenced by the shape of the particular
electrode, the geometry of the system, and by agitation.T
13.
Dezinfication is readily observed with the naked eye because the alloy
assumes a red or copper color that contrasts with the original yellow.T
14.
Concentration polarization does not become apparent until the net reduction
current density approaches the limiting diffusion current density.T
15.
Although the free-energy change for corrosion of zinc is negative and greater
than that for iron, the corrosion rate of zinc is less than that of iron.F
16.
In the uniform attack corrosion, a chemical or electrochemical reaction
proceeds uniformly over the entire exposed surface and the metal becomes thinner
and eventually fails.T
17.
In the galvanic corrosion, usually the cathode or cathodic metal corrodes very
little or not at all in this type of couple.T

18.
Filiform corrosion does not weaken or destroy metallic components but only
affects surface appearance.T
19.
Fretting corrosion is a form of extremely localized attack that results in holes
in the metal and is considered one of the weakest destructive forms of corrosion.F
20.
Pitting is described as corrosion occurring at contact areas between materials
under load subjected to vibrating and slip. It appears as pits or grooves in the metal
surrounded by corrosion products.F( fretting)
21.
Cathodic protection is an effective method for preventing stress-corrosion
cracking whereas it rapidly accelerates hydrogen-embrittlement effects.T
22.
Hydrogen blistering and embrittlement result from the penetration of
hydrogen into metal.T
23.
Selective leaching is the removal of one element from a solid alloy by
corrosion process.T
24.
In the uniform attack corrosion, a chemical or electrochemical reaction
proceeds uniformly over the entire exposed surface and the metal becomes thinner
and eventually fails.T
25.
In the galvanic corrosion, usually the cathode or cathodic metal corrodes very
little or not at all in this type of couple.T
26.
The attack by crevice corrosion is usually associated with large volumes of
stagnant solution caused by holes, gasket surfaces and crevices under bolt and rivet
heads.T
27.
Pitting corrosion is not of too great concern from the technical standpoint,
because the life of equipment can be accurately estimated on the basis of
comparatively simple tests.F
28.
Crevice corrosion represents the greatest destruction of metal on a tonnage
basis.F
29.
In the absence of actual tests in a given environment, the emf series gives us
a good indication of possible galvanic effects.T
30.
If one of two dissimilar metals in contact is to be coated, the more noble or
more corrosion-resistant metal should be coated.T
31.
To reduce corrosion of metals, avoid the use of small cathode and large
anode.f
32.
The presence of different metals in contact always undesirable and not
useful.F

33.
Contact between metal and nonmetallic surface can cause pitting corrosion
as in the case of a gasket.F
34.
The fluid within the crevices exposed to neutral dilute sodium chloride
solutions has been observed to contain 3 to 10 times as less chloride as the bulk
solution.F
35.
Increasing critical anodic current density cause the crevice corrosion
resistance to decrease.T
36.
Increasing the crevice width cause the crevice corrosion resistance to
increase. F
37.
Increasing the solution specific resistance cause the crevice corrosion
resistance to decrease.
38.
Metals or alloys that depend on oxide films or passive layers for corrosion
resistance are practically not susceptible to crevice corrosion.F
39.
Pitting is a form of localized attack, it is the most destructive and insidious
form of corrosion. It causes equipment to fail because of perforation with a large
percent weight loss of the entire structure.F
40.
Pitting usually requires an extended initiation period before visible pits
appear. Once started, however, a pit penetrates the metal at a constant rate. In
addition, pits tend to undermine or undercut the surface as they grow.T
41.
Cupric and ferric chloride (CuCl2 and FeCl3) require the presence of oxygen
for cathodic reaction to promote attack.F
42.
Pitting can be prevented or reduced in many instances by the presence of
small concentrations of hydroxide, chromate, or silicate salts.T
43.

Ordinary steel is more resistant to pitting than stainless steel alloys.T
