Given their standard reduction potentials, which of the species is going to be oxidized?
Cu2+/Cu = 0.34V
Zn2+/Zn = -0.76V
Cu
Zn
CuSO4
ZnSO4
What reaction occurs at the anode?
Ag+/Ag = 0.80V
Ni2+/Ni = -0.25V
Ag+ + e- →Ag
Ag → Ag+ + e-
Ni2+ + 2e- → Ni
Ni → Ni2+ + 2e-
What is a reducing agent?
It is the species that gets reduced -- gains electrons.
It is the species that gets oxidized -- loses electrons.
It is the species that creates electrons.
It is the species that destroys electrons.

the oxidizing agent is....
Sn+4
Sn+2
Fe+3
Fe+2

Rusting is a special term, given to the corrosion metal is... .
Au
Pt
Fe
Ag
What two things cause Iron to Rust ?
Air and Oxygen
Oxygen and Water

Which diagram shows the most favourable conditions for rust to appear on the nail?
A
B
C
D
Rusting can be prevented by
Alloying
Tinning
Galvanizing
All of above
Observe the picture...and select the appropriate options
Forward reaction= Extraction of metals from ore
Backward reaction= Corrosion
Corrosion phenomenon will be Spontaneous
Metals are more stable in the Ore form (naturally occurring form)
Name any way of preventing corrosion other than Galvanizing, tinning & alloying. (very commonly applied method at every home)
