← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a charged electrode encounters potassium chloride solution?
A)Electrode surface experiences increased localized corrosion✓
B)Solution conductivity shows negligible overall change
C)Salt precipitation uniformly clogs electrode pores
D)Potassium ions undergo immediate molecular dissociation
💡 Explanation
Electrode corrosion increases because electrolytic dissolution occurs due to an ionic bonding effect, resulting in redox reactions and chloride ions attacking the metal; therefore, corrosion is the effect rather than equal conductivity because ions are consumed.
