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 student wants to analyze the composition of a sample of an unknown metal alloy. They dissolve a 0.500g sample of the alloy in hydrochloric acid to form a solution which is then titrated with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to neutralize the acid. The volume of the NaOH solution required is 16.50 mL. Assuming the acid reacts with the metal in the alloy according to the formula: M + 2HCl → MCl₂ + H₂, what is the percent composition by mass of Metal M in the alloy?
