For each of the following equations, determine the oxidation number for each atom in the equation and identify whether the reaction is a redox reaction or not. If the reaction is redox, identify what is oxidized, what is reduced, the oxidizing agent, and the reducing agent.
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.
