  • Question
  • In addition to nitric acid, another acid which may render iron passive is


  • Options
  • A. acetic acid
  • B. oxalic acid
  • C. chromic acid
  • D. citric acid

  • Correct Answer
  • chromic acid 

    Explanation

    Passivity of iron is due to formation of an extremely thin and impervious film of ferrosoferric oxide  F e 3 O 4 on the surface of iron. Chromic acid, being a powerful oxidising agent (like nitric acid ) renders iron passive.
