- Current Attempt in Progress X Incorrect. A piece of corroded steel plate was found in a submerged ocean vessel. It was estimated that the original area of the plate was 16 in.² and that approximately 2.9 kg had corroded away during the submersion. Assuming a corrosion penetration rate of 200 mpy for this alloy in seawater, estimate the time of submersion in years. The density of steel is 7.9 g/cm³. i 0.72 yrarrow_forwardHow to measure the corrosion inhibition efficiency of a metal? And how to perform the weight loss method?arrow_forwardIf you have three elements with an oxidation potential of both of them, as shown below: 1. Tin = 0,14 - 2 iron = 0,77 + 3. Platinum = 1.2 + Find the cell voltage in the case of a correlation: A. Iron and tin expose them to the electrolyte environment, and any metal will corrode b. Tin and platinum expose it to the electrolytic environment, and any metal will corrode. 4:56 PMarrow_forward
