Q

the tendency of a material to corrode is not a direct measure of reaction rate.

18
Q

The standard conditions for solid, liquid compounds, and even elements is the pure compound or element; in the case of gases, it is set at a pressure of

A

100 kPa and for solutes, the ideal concentration is 1 M (mol/L).

19
Q

equilibrium electrodes are also termed

A

half-cells

20
Q

”. If these electrodes are maintained at equilibrium conditions, they are now called

A

standard half-cells

21
Q

an equation can be derived to determine the emf of a certain cell by virtue of the reactants and products’ concentration.

A

The Nernst Equation

22
Q

used to determine the potential of a system wherein the reactants are not in unit activity.

A

Nernst equation

23
Q

study of reaction rates at the interface between an electrode and a liquid.

A

Electrode Kinetics

24
Q

The deviation from equilibrium potential is called

A

polarization

25
measurement of magnitude of polarization with respect to the equilibrium potential of an electrode.
Overvoltage
26
electrochemical process that is controlled by the reaction sequence at the metal-electrolyte interface.
Activation Polarization
27
usually is the controlling factor during corrosion in media containing a high concentration of active species.
Activation Polarization
28
generally predominates when the concentration of the reducible species is small.
Concentration polarization
29
- electrochemical reactions that are controlled by the diffusion in the electrolyte.
Concentration polarization
30
polarization can lead to the formation of a protective oxide layer on the metal' s surface which acts as a barrier, slowing down further corrosion.
Passivation
31
polarization can also increase corrosion rates by promoting more aggressive electrochemical reactions. This can happen if conditions favor the dissolution of the protective oxide layer.
Increased Corrosion
32
polarization gradients within the metal surface can lead to the concentration of corrosive agents in specific areas, accelerating corrosion rates locally.
Localized Corrosion
33
amount of current (I) over a given area (A) - The total charge that passes through the cell when N moles of the metal M react is Q.
CURRENT DENSITY
34
a model for the current density of an electrode when the only significant limiting factor is activation.
tafel equation
35
uniformly over the entire exposed surface. - does not create a great concern, because the life of equipment can be accurately estimated on the basis of comparatively simple tests.
Uniform Corrosion
36
Metal deterioration that happens in tight spaces where a stagnant liquid gets trapped.
Crevice Corrosion
37
- A highly localized form of attack that eats away at the metal, creating small holes or cavities.
Pitting Corrosion
38
Due to chemical composition difference at the grain boundaries from the bulk of the grain.
39
two dissimilar metals with potential difference in a conductive solution. - s a serious threat because it accelerates the deterioration of the less resistant metal.
Galvanic Corrosion
40
Degradation that occurs when hydrogen penetrates the surface of a metal.
