11) Which is the reduction half reaction for a Mg and Ag electrochemical cell? (The reaction is spontaneous.) a) Mg* + 2e → Mg(s) (Mg gains electrons) b) Mg(s) → Mg + 2e (Mg loses electrons) c) Ag + e> Ag (s) (Ag gains electrons) d) Ag(s) → Ag* + e- (Ag loses electrons) 12) In an electrochemical cell made of Al and Cu, Al loses 3 electrons per atom while Cu gains 2 electrons per atom. What are the two half-reactions (oxidation and reduction) combined together and balanced? (A total of 6 electrons should be lost and gained.) a) Al* + Cu(s) → Al (s) + Cu²* b) 2Al* + 3Cu(s) → 2AI (s) + 3Cu2* c) Al (s) + Cu²+ → Al* + Cu(s) d) 2Al (s) + 3CU2*→ 2AI³* + 3Cu(s)
Science behind corrosion-test
Corrosion is defined as an activity that transforms refined metals into more chemically stable forms such as oxide, hydroxide, carbonate, or sulfide. It refers to the slow decomposition of things (typically metals); thanks to chemical and/or electrochemical reactions with their surroundings. Corrosion engineering is the science of preventing and controlling corrosion.
