Q. NO. QUESTIONS BL’S CO’S

1 What is metallic corrosion? Describe the electrochemical theory L1, L2 CO3
of corrosion taking iron as an example
2 Explain: (i) Differential metal corrosion & (ii) Differential L1 CO3
aeration corrosion
3 Briefly explain the following factors affecting the rate of L1, L2 CO3
corrosion i) Nature of corrosion product ii) ratio of anodic to
cathodic areas iii) pH
4 What is anodizing? Describe the process of anodizing of L1, L2 CO3
aluminium
5 What is CPR? A thick brass sheet of area 400 inch2 is exposed to L3 CO3
moist air. After 2 years of period, it was found to experience a
weight loss 375 g due to corrosion. If the density of brass is 8.73
g/cm3. Calculate CPR in mpy and mmpy
6 What are reference electrodes? Explain the construction, L1, L2 CO3
working and applications of calomel electrode.
7 What are Ion selective electrodes? Explain the determination of L1, L2 CO3
pH of solution using glass electrode.
8 Define Concentration cell. The EMF of the cell Ag/AgNO3 L2 CO3
(C1M)//AgNO3(0.2M)/Ag is 0.8 V at 25℃. Find the value of C1.
