Statement (I) : Corrosion is an electrochemical phenomenon in which pure metal acts as an anode and impure metal as a cathode.
Statement (II) : The rate of corrosion is more in alkaline medium than in acidic medium.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
- Both Statement I and Statement II are true
- Statement I is false but Statement II is true
- Statement I is true but Statement II is false
- Both Statement I and Statement II are false
