Copper was electroplated from a Cu2SO4 solution onto an electrode with an active surface area of 6.96 cm2. Determine the thickness (mm) of the deposit if the current is kept constant at 3.55 A for 1.0266 hours. (density of Cu = 8.96 g/cm3, MW of Cu = 63.55 g/mol). (Input values only with 2 decimal places. Do not include the unit.)
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.
