← ScienceWhich risk increases significantly when road salt (NaCl) solutions contacting bridge supports is not diluted?
A)Formation of insoluble hydroxide precipitates
B)Elevated vibrational resonance frequencies
C)Accelerated corrosion via oxidation✓
D)Compromised concrete compressive strength
💡 Explanation
When concentrated road salt solutions contact bridge supports, the increased availability of mobile chloride ions facilitates electron transfer from the metal, therefore **galvanic corrosion** occurs. Rather than forming protective layers or hydroxide precipitates, oxidation accelerates heavily because of chloride's influence.
