- b. 0.082 V
- c. 0.222 V
- d. 0.462 V
Expert Solution

Step 1: step 1 of 2
To calculate the equivalent current density associated with this process, we can use the following equation:
Given:
- Weight change (g/s) = 2.89 x 10⁻⁵ gm/s
- Molar mass of iron (g/mol) = 55.845
- Number of electrons transferred per iron atom (mol/electron) = 2
- Faraday constant (C/mol * electron) = 96,485
