← ScienceWhich consequence results when inhibited ester hydrolysis increases corrosion rate?
A)Delayed steel structure stress cracking
B)Elevated chloride ion concentrations occur✓
C)Formation of a protective buffer
D)Reduced metallic substrate oxidation state
💡 Explanation
Formation of corrosive acid causes heightened corrosion because inhibited hydrolysis prevents hydroxide production needed to neutralize it with subsequent increase in chloride concentration; therefore, chloride levels rise, rather than generating other protective or structural changes.
