Consider the unbalanced reaction below, which occurs in an acidic aqueous solution. MnO4- + I- ® I2 + Mn2+ a. Identify the half-reactions (oxidation, reduction) b. Balance the reduction equation c. Balance the oxidation equation d. Balance the overall equation
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.
