**Question:**Which of the following metals would make the best sacrificial anode for an iron structure?**Options:**- ○ Au- ○ Cr- ○ Mg- ○ Ni- ○ Cu**Explanation:**In the context of cathodic protection for preventing corrosion of iron structures, the best sacrificial anode is a metal that is more reactive (more anodic) than iron. This means it will corrode in place of the iron.- **Au (Gold):** Not suitable as it is noble and less reactive.- **Cr (Chromium):** Less suitable, not commonly used for this purpose.- **Mg (Magnesium):** Highly suitable due to its high reactivity and common use as a sacrificial anode.- **Ni (Nickel):** Less suitable as it is more noble than iron.- **Cu (Copper):** Not suitable because it is less reactive and can cause galvanic corrosion of iron.Therefore, **Mg (Magnesium)** is the ideal choice for a sacrificial anode for iron structures.

In a cell, two types of electrodes are present, anode and cathode. At the anode, oxidation takes…
