- A chemical engineering student is studying the effect of pH on the corrosion of iron. Ellie following data are collected: Corrosion Rate (mm/year) ph 0.03 13.00 0.06 12.00 0.16 11.00 0.22 10.00 0.25 9.00 0.25 8.00 0.25 7.00 0.25 6.00 0.25 5.00 0.27 4.00 0.37 3.00 0.38 2.80 0.63 2.80 1.00 2.80 Plot corrosion rate vs. pH. (HINT: Label the x axis with decreasing pH.) (a) How would you describe the dependence of corrosion on pH? (b) When the pH goes below 3, bubbles appear in the solution. What change takes place in the reduction half-reaction at low pH? (c) How do you explain the shape of the curve at the lowest pH?

Rewrite each false statement to make it true. (a) Oxidation always occurs at the anode of an electrochemical cell. (b) The anode of a discharging voltaic cell is the site ofreduction and is negative. (c) Standard-state conditions for electrochemical cells are aconcentration of 1.0 M for dissolved species and a pressure of 1 bar for gases.

- What is the voltage of a concentration cell of Fe2+ ions where the concentrations are 0.0025 and 0.750 M? What is the spontaneous reaction?arrow_forwardAn engineer is designing a mirror for an optical system. A piece of metal that measures 1.3 cm by 0.83 cm will have a coating of rhodium plated on its surface to serve as the mirror. The rhodium thickness will be 0.00030 mm, and the electrolyte contains Rh3+ ions. If the operating current of the electrolysis is 0.10 A, how long must it be operated to obtain the desired coating? What mass of rhodium is deposited? (The density of rhodium is 12.4 g cm-3.)arrow_forwardFor the cell: Cr|Cr3+Co2+|Co E° is 0.46 V. The same cell was prepared in the laboratory at standard conditions. The voltage obtained was 0.40 V. A possible explanation for the difference is (a) the surface area of the chromium electrode was smaller than the cobalt electrode. (b) the mass of the chromium electrode was larger than the mass of the cobalt electrode. (c) the concentration of Cr(NO3)2 solution used was less than 1.0 M. (d) the concentration of Cr(NO3)2 solution used was less than 1.0 M. (e) the volume of Cr(NO3)2 solution used was larger than the volume of Cr(NO3)2 solution used.arrow_forward
