Advanced Chemical Engineering Experiment

Exp.1: Corrosion

# Experimental procedure

1. Make 1L of 1M NaCl solution NaCl.

(First, put 900ml distilled water into the 1L beaker, and then put 58.44g of sodium
chloride into that beaker. And then fill the 1L NaCl solution by adding the rest of the
distilled water.)

2. Divide the 1L of 1M NaCl solution into the two of 600ml beakers by the same amount of
solution (One will be for N2 flowing, and the other will be for air flowing).

3. For O2 gas to be removed, in a beaker for N 2 atmosphere, flow the N2 gas while boiling
that beaker by using hot plate for 40mins.

4. During that time, rub off the impurities on six steel bars with a sand paper and weigh the
six steel bars.

5. After the ‘process 3’ is over, cool the beaker until its temperature becomes same as that
of the other NaCl solution beaker.

6. Immerse three steel bars (1, 2, 3) in the beaker for N 2 atmosphere and other three steel
bars (4, 5, 6) in the other beaker for O2 atmosphere.

7. Then close the lids of two beakers, then flow the N 2 gas into the N2 gas beaker which we
made in the above processes and flow the O2 gas into the other beaker.

8. Leave these two beakers at this condition for 3 hours.

9. After 3 hours, weigh the six metal bars and then observe the weight change of those
metal bars.
