Here are some suggestions to reduce corrosion on Ship A:
1. Apply protective coatings like paint or galvanizing to form a barrier between the metal and the corrosive environment. Reapply coatings regularly.
2. Use cathodic protection by connecting the ship to a more reactive sacrificial anode metal like zinc or magnesium. This diverts corrosion to the anode instead of the ship.
3. Control humidity and remove moisture from enclosed spaces to reduce corrosion. Use dehumidifiers.
4. Inspect regularly for signs of corrosion and repair promptly to prevent further damage.
Yes, humidity also affects corrosion. Higher humidity allows more water to come in contact with the metal surface. Water

Methods
1. Prepare 2 test tubes labeled A and B.
2. Set up the apparatus as shown in Figure 1.
3. Place a nail in each test tube.
4. Pour salt water in test tube A and plain water in the test
tube B.
5. The water is pored until it overflow from the test tube.
6. Insert the stopper with delivery tube.
7. Make sure there is no air bubble in the test tube.
8. Connect the pressure sensor at delivery tube.

Discussion
Based on the result, nail A that immersed in salt water is
more corrosive than nail B that immersed in plain water.
This is because, oxygen present in water and salt causes
corrosion. Salt is hygroscopic in nature and it attracts the
water. Water is required for corrosion and salt speeds up
the process.
The salt speeds up the corrosion by improves the
capability of water to carry electron through redox
reactions.
Rusting in metals undergoes an electrochemical process in
which iron loses electrons by oxidation causing the water
to break into hydroxide ions and oxygen. The metal that
has oxidized reacts with the hydroxide ions and oxygen to
form metal oxide. These salts remain even if the water is
gone and they again start rusting whenever they come in
contact with moisture.

Conclusion
The salt water increase the rate of corrosion compare
with plain water.
