d.stress corrosion.
2. Battery acid spills on the deck of a destroyer. Identify the cathodic half-reaction that is expected to take place as part of a corrosion cell.
a. Fe(s) → Fe2+(aq) + 2 e–
b. Fe2+(aq) + 2 e– → Fe(s)
c. Fe2+(aq) + e– → Fe3+(aq)
d. 2 H+(aq) + 2 e– → H2(g)
e. O2(g) → 2 O(g) + 2 e–
f. O2(g) + 2 H2O(l) + 4 e– → 4 OH–(aq)
