Question 1

How do we increase current?

Answer 1

1. Change temp to change diffusion coefficient d
2. Change conc of oxidants at bulk or at surface (Cs or Cb)
3. Make δ small by using convection

Question 2

What is the only way to change potential?

Answer 2

Change current

Question 3

When do the oxidation and reduction reactions have different slopes on a polarization diagram?

Answer 3

When the symmetric variable a doesnt equal 0.5

Question 4

Why do we want a large β?

Answer 4

So current doesnt increase with potential/no corrosion/there is a vertical slope

Question 5

E ______ as H+ is depleted at the metals surface. This is known as _____

Answer 5

Decreases; ηconc
