Step 1
Polarization is a concept in electrochemistry that refers to the shifting of charge distribution on a metal surface when it is exposed to a corrosive environment. This shifting of charge distribution can affect the corrosion rate of the metal. Show more…

1- Order the following galvanic cells in terms of the rate of corrosion (from highest to lowest). a) Zn & Ag b) Co & Ni c) Zn & Fe d) Zn & Cu 2- Which one (A or B) gives a higher corrosion rate? Why? (EºZn = -0.76 , Eºfe = -0.4) 3- Corrosion kinetics in acidic solutions shows the rate of corrosion of Fe is more than Zn, although the potential reduction of iron is more than Zinc. Why?

Corrosion kinetics in acidic solutions shows the rate of corrosion of Fe is more than Zn, although the potential reduction of iron is more than Zinc. Why?

The corrosion rate is to be determined for some divalent metal $\mathrm{M}$ in a solution containing hydrogen ions. The following corrosion data are known about the metal and solution: (a) Assuming that activation polarization controls both oxidation and reduction reac- tions, determine the rate of corrosion of metal $\mathrm{M}\left(\text { in } \mathrm{mol} / \mathrm{cm}^{2}-\mathrm{s}\right)$ (b) Compute the corrosion potential for this reaction.
