A student wants to calculate the corrosion rate of a zinc electrode in contact with a copper electrode, with a measured current of 0.5 amperes and a surface area of 2 cm². Given that the standard reduction potentials for copper and zinc electrodes are +0.34 V and -0.76 V, respectively, what is the corrosion rate of the zinc electrode in millimeters per year? (Assume a density of 7.14 g/cm³ for zinc and a Faraday constant of 96,500 coulombs per mole).

A metal electrode immersed in a solution is used to convert a chemical reaction into an electric current. The electrode potential is measured as the voltage difference between the metal and the solution. The cathodic and anodic Tafel slopes are then calculated in order to determine the rate of the chemical reaction occurring at the electrode. Given a metal electrode immersed in a 0.1 M solution of AgNO3, the cathodic and anodic Tafel slopes are determined to be 120 mV/decade and 110 mV/decade, respectively. Calculate the exchange current density for the reaction occurring at the electro

A steel pipe is connected to a copper pipe in a galvanic corrosion couple where the electrolyte is seawater. The corrosion current density of the steel pipe is 3.2 mA/cm2. If the surface area of the steel pipe is 5 cm2, calculate the total amount of charge transferred per hour. Also, calculate the weight loss of the steel pipe per year due to galvanic corrosion, assuming the density of steel is 7.85 g/cm3.
