Reactions 5 and 6 (occur simultaneously): Zn metal added to CuSO4(aq) Balanced Equation for reaction 5: Reducing Cu2+ ions to solid Cu metal with Zn metal Observations: Balanced Equation for reaction 6: Zinc reacts with sulfuric acid producing zinc sulfate and hydrogen gas
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.
