Which outcome weakens industrial scrubbing towers using seawater?

💡 Explanation

The pitting corrosion of steel structures near seawater occurs because chloride ions penetrate the passive layer in ionic compounds, leading to ionic lattice disruption forming pitting, therefore the structure weakens; rather than hydrogen embrittlement affecting high strength alloys.
