Which of the following is false about corrosion? O The loss or conversion into insoluble compound of the surface layers of a metal in contact with a liquid. The loss or conversion into insoluble compound of the surface layers of a metal in contact with only air at high temperature. Metals or semiconductors in contact with aqueous solution or humid air at normal temperatures may corrosion. The corrosion of one metal caused by another in an electrochemical process driven by the potential difference between the two metals. Erosion corrosion is a result of the combined effect of chemical attack and mechanical abrasion.
