A sheet of zinc (Zn) that is 4 cm wide by 10 cm long is placed in an hydrochloric acid solution (HCI). The initial thickness of the zinc sheet is 3 cm, and the corrosion current measured on the surface is 9.8x 10-3 amperes (C/s). What is the thickness of the plate (in cm) after 45 weeks? ou may assume that the corrosion occurs on only one side of the sheet.
