Copper was electroplated from a Cu2SO4 solution onto an electrode with an active surface area of 7.43 cm2. Determine the thickness (mm) of the deposit if the current is kept constant at 3.8 A for 0.9142 hours. (density of Cu = 8.96 g/cm3, MW of Cu = 63.55 g/mol). (Final answer in 2 decimal places).
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.
