6. One reason that copper pipes rather than iron pipes are used in household plumbing is that: A. Iron has a greater tendency to be oxidized than copper. B. Iron will react with dissolved minerals such as calcium salts. C. Copper is a better conductor of heat energy than iron. D. Commercial drain cleaners containing sodium hydroxide will react with iron.
Science behind corrosion-test
Corrosion is defined as an activity that transforms refined metals into more chemically stable forms such as oxide, hydroxide, carbonate, or sulfide. It refers to the slow decomposition of things (typically metals); thanks to chemical and/or electrochemical reactions with their surroundings. Corrosion engineering is the science of preventing and controlling corrosion.
