MCQ
Lead pipes are readily corroded by:
- AWater.
- ✓Acetic acid.
- CConc$. \ce{H_2SO_4}$
- DDil$. \ce{H_2SO_4}$
✓
Answer
Correct option: B.
Acetic acid.
Corrosion of lead is strongly accelerated by traces of acetic acid. Acetic acid in the presence of oxygen rapidly attacks lead and produces very soluble lead$(II)$ acetate which precludes the use of lead to process or store wine or fruit juice.
