197. The given figure shows the corrosion of iron in atmosphere,
Electrochemistry mcq question image
Fill in the blanks by choosing an appropriate option. At a particular spot of an object made of iron, $$\underline {\left( {\text{i}} \right)} $$  of iron to ferrous ion takes place and that spot behaves as $$\underline {\left( {{\text{ii}}} \right)} $$  . Electrons released at anodic spot move through the metal and go to another spot on the metal and reduce oxygen in presence of $${H^ + }.$$  This spot behaves as $$\underline {\left( {{\text{iii}}} \right)} \,$$  . The ferrous ions are further oxidised by atmospheric oxygen to ferric ions which come out as rust, $$\underline {\left( {{\text{iv}}} \right)} $$  and with further production of $$\underline {\left( {\text{v}} \right)} $$  ions.
