Assertion : Copper metal gets readily corroded is an acidic aqueous solution. Reason : Free energy change for this process is positive.

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

Copper corrodes at negligible rate in unpolluted air, water and deaerated non-oxidising acids. Pure copper and the high copper alloys can be considered to exhibit similar resistance to most Corrosive environments. They possess excellent resistance to atmospheric environments. (corrossion is a spontaneous process for which free energy change must be negative.
