The chemistry of corrosion of iron is essentially an electrochemical phenomenon. Explain the reactions occurring during the corrosion of iron in the atmosphere.
Determine the values of equilibrium constant (KC) and G° for the following reaction:
How much charge is required for the reduction of 1 mol of Zn2+ to Zn?
Zn2+ + 2e- ---> Zn
Number of electrons involved = 2
Charge required for the reduction of Zn2+ = 2F
We know
1F = 96,487 C
Thus,
2F = 2 x 96487 = 1,92,974 C
