thanks man.Azreil said:-Conditions which cause rusting.
-Effect of acidic/basic/conditions on corrosion.
-Methods of protection from corrosion.
-Effect of temperature, salt concentration and oxygen concentration on corrosion.
-Factors that effect the rate of electrolysis.
-Comparison between rate of corrosion of iron and a named steel.
Concentration of electrolyte, nature of electrolyte, nature of electrodes, size of electrode, voltage applied, etc.SkimDawg said:Nice, I know all of them, except factors that effect the rate of electrolysis. Would that be the solution content, open to air, ect?

gimme a sec on the descriptions.
EDIT: Okay.
Conditions under which rusting occurs: cleaned nails in each of a) test tube open to air; b) test tube with silica gel and stoppered; c) test tube in boiled water with oil covering and stoppered; d) test tube half filled with water. a) rusts slightly, d) rusts lots, b + c) don't, hence need oxygen and water.
Rate of corrosion of iron and a steel: We used iron and stainless steel. Placed strip of iron and strip of stainless steel in conditons listed in d) above. Stainless steel showed minimal, minimal rust, iron showed a lot of rust.
Rate of electrolysis: Increased concentration of electrolyte = inc rate of reaction (used NaCl dilute and concentrated)). Larger area of electrode = inc rate of reaction. Nature of electrode -> different reaction if Cu is used to graphite (Cu decomposes). Applied voltage = inc rate of reaction. Nature of electrolyte -> showed concentrated NaCl will cause different reactions to NaOH.
d) is exposed to air (unstoppered) though, isn't it?Azreil said:Concentration of electrolyte, nature of electrolyte, nature of electrodes, size of electrode, voltage applied, etc.

lifesaver. appreciate itAzreil said:D is exposed to air; this is the one that proves the hypothesis of the prac: that H2O and O2 are both required for rusting to occur.
In C, the water is boiled, poured into the test tube, the nail is placed in and the oil is added to the top.

Protection of iron: Wrapped nail in Cu, wrapped nail in Mg, painted nail, uncovered nail. Copper showed no protective tendencies, Mg protected nail, paint protected nail, uncovered nail rusted as normal.
Temperature, oxygen and salt impact: Boiled water with oil covering, normal water, dilute NaCl solution, concentrated NaCl solution, test tube over heater, test tube in fridge. Boiled water = no rust, normal water = normal rust, dilute NaCl = marginally more, conc NaCl = lots more, test tube over heater = lots more rust, in fridge = little rust.
Acid and base: In water, in HCl, in CH3COOH, in methylamine and in NaOH (all aq). HCl = high corrosion, CH3COOH = slightly higher corrosion, methylamine = slightly lower, NaOH = much lower.
Temp/Salt/O2 yus.:::a::: said:For Rate of Electrolysis and (Temperature, Oxygen and Salt Concentrations) experiments, are they both just using iron nails in the results you described?
thanks this helps alot.Azreil said:Concentration of electrolyte, nature of electrolyte, nature of electrodes, size of electrode, voltage applied, etc.
