Displacement reaction between copper and zinc. Both metals have an oxidation number of +2 in the cation state. In solution the following reaction can occur. Write the oxidation half-reaction and the reduction half-reaction. Add both half reactions and in the result identify the reducing agent, the oxidizing agent, the oxidized product and the reduced product.
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.
