← ScienceWhich consequence results when dissimilar metals contact seawater?
A)Galvanic corrosion accelerates significantly✓
B)Passivation layer formation stabilizes
C)General corrosion rates equalize
D)Equilibrium potential briefly increases
💡 Explanation
Galvanic corrosion accelerates, because it is driven by *electrochemical potential difference* inducing electron flow via ionic transport through seawater. Therefore, enhanced corrosion occurs due to electron transfer at the anode, rather than uniform corrosion.
