By using the information in the ALEKS Data tab, write a balanced equation describing a half reaction that could be used at the cathode of this cell. Note: write the half reaction as it would actually occur at the cathode.
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.

![A certain half-reaction has a standard reduction potential E
´red
-1.33 V. An engineer proposes using this half-reaction at the anode of a galvanic cell that must
provide at least 0.70 V of electrical power. The cell will operate under standard conditions.
Note for advanced students: assume the engineer requires this half-reaction to happen at the anode of the cell.

Is there a minimum standard reduction
potential that the half-reaction used at
the cathode of this cell can have?
E = Ov
O yes, there is a minimum.

Ar
If so, check the "yes" box and calculate
the minimum. Round your answer to 2
decimal places. If there is no lower
limit, check the "no" box.
no minimum
Is there a maximum standard reduction
potential that the half-reaction used at
the cathode of this cell can have?
E = Ov
yes, there is a maximum.
