The tendency of iron to rust depend on the Ph of solution
The formation of rust increases as the PH decreases. This led agent of rusting that is oxygen gets more positive as H+ ions increase which facilitate rusting. The lower the Ph level the quick the corrosion.
The suggestion is to prevent a puddle of the liquid present in the sample from forming or from it leaking on to the surface on which it is placed. For example, if precipitates of a solid are removed from water and then placed on filter paper to dry, the water will soak into the filter paper and then leak on to the counter on which it is placed. If this precipitate were placed in a watch glass or weighing paper, the water would only evaporate and would not contaminate the sample.
It would be a,b,c as the answer. hope this helps!
D is the correct answer......
hope it help, please thank me if it did.....
