Subject: Mid test of Engineering Corrosion Examiner Dr.

Maha Allawi
Time: One and half hour only Name:

Q1: A / Put true and false in front each statement and correct the false statement
1. If the change in free energy is negative, this indicates that the transition represents an increase
in energy, and this requires that additional energy be added to the system.
2. The more positive the value of ΔG, the greater is the tendency for the reaction to go.
3. When there is no net current flows from an electrode, then this electrode is at equilibrium state
and its potential is the equilibrium potential (E°).

Q1: B / Calculate the potential of hydrogen electrode in contact with a solution of pH =10.

Q2: A sample of zinc corrodes uniformly with a current density of 4.2 x 10-6 A/cm2 in an aqueous
solution, density of zinc 7.1 g/cm3 and n is equal to 2.
(a) What is the corrosion rate of zinc in mg/dm2/day?
(b) What is the corrosion rate of zinc in mm/year?

Q3: A minimum electrolyzing voltage for chlorine cell at 25 C, brine feed to the diaphragm cell
contain a 320 Kg/m3 of NaCl at 25 C, calculate the minimum electrolyzing voltage at 25 C
necessary to produce chlorine and hydrogen at one atmosphere pressure, if you know Mwt of
NaCl equal to 58.46 Kg/Kgmol.

1 1
NaCl + H₂O − −−→ NaOH + Cl₂ + 𝐻₂
2 2
Good luck
