🔍 Key Concepts

• boiler water chemistry and how dissolved gases affect metal surfaces • difference between corrosion (metal loss) and scaling (mineral deposits) • the specific reaction products when carbon dioxide (CO₂) dissolves in water

💭 Think About

• When CO₂ dissolves in water, what compound is formed and is it acidic or basic? How would that affect steel surfaces inside a boiler? • Which answer choices describe corrosion (eating away metal) versus scaling (building up deposits), and which one best matches what an acid would do? • Think about whether CO₂ by itself would create scale or pitting, or whether it mainly changes the pH of the boiler water.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which options refer to corrosion of metal surfaces rather than deposit formation. • Ask yourself: does CO₂ usually cause acid attack or scale deposits in boiler systems? • Eliminate any choices that require CO₂ to combine with other ions to form solids, since CO₂’s main effect is through changing water chemistry, not directly forming scale.
