Direction: Write the oxidation half-reaction and reduction half-reaction, and shorthand electrochemical notation for the following. 10. Chlorine gas oxidises Fe 2+ ions to Fe3+ ions. In the process, chlorine is reduced to chloride ions.
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.
