To calculate the corrosion current density, we can use the Stern-Geary equation:I_corr = B / R_pwhere I_corr is the corrosion current density, B is the Stern-Geary constant, and R_p is the polarization resistance.The Stern-Geary constant B can be calculated using the Tafel slopes for the anodic _a and cathodic _c reactions:B = 2.303 * R * T / n * F * _a * _c / _a + _c where R is the gas constant 8.314 J/molK , T is the temperature in Kelvin 25C = 298.15 K , n is the number of electrons transferred in the redox reaction usually 2 for metal corrosion , and F is the Faraday constant 96,485 C/mol .For stainless steel in HCl solution, typical Tafel slopes are _a = 120 mV/decade and _c = -120 mV/decade. Plugging these values into the equation for B:B = 2.303 * 8.314 * 298.15 / 2 * 96,485 * 120 * -120 / 120 + -120 B = 0.120 VNow we can calculate the corrosion current density using the polarization resistance R_p of 200 ohms:I_corr = B / R_pI_corr = 0.120 V / 200 ohmsI_corr = 0.0006 A/cmThe corrosion current density of the stainless steel electrode in a 0.5 M HCl solution at 25 degrees Celsius is 0.0006 A/cm.
