Question bank Chemistry, Module: 2 Corrosion Science and Analytical

techniques
2. Explain electrochemical theory of corrosion taking rusting of iron as an example?
3. Write a short note on differential metal corrosion. Corrosion of Fe is less when
combined with Zn than Sn. Why?
4. Identify correct reason:
Rusting of iron is quicker in sea water than in river water
1) Contact of dissimilar metals should be avoided
2) Oxide of aluminium protects it from corrosion but oxide of iron does not protect it
5. Explain ‘galvanization’ of iron sheet with the help of neat diagram.

6. Explain ‘Tinning’ of iron with the help of neat diagram.

7. Why anodizing is preferred for aluminium in order to protect it from corrosion?
Explain the process of anodizing of aluminium. Why anodizing is not suitable for
iron?
8. Write a short note on ‘Impressed voltage method’ and ‘sacrificial anodic method’
to control the corrosion.
9. Expalin the Factors influencing rate of corrosion-
Nature of the metal,
Relative anodic and cathodic areas and Nature of the corrosion product,
selection and design of materials.
10. A sheet of carbon steel one meter wide by three meters long has lost 40g to
corrosion over the past six months. Convert that mass loss to a penetration rate of
the steel in mm units and mpy units. What would be the corrosion rate? (Carbon
steel density=7.8g/ cm3)
11.
What is metal finishing? Explain the technological importance of metal finishing
12.
Explain the process electroplating of Chromium and its applications.
13. Explain the principle, instrumentation and working of UV-Vis spectroscopy using a
neat diagram.
14.
Explain the principle, instrumentation and working of Conductometry

15. Explain the conductometric titration curve for the following titrations:
(i) HCl vs. NaOH
(ii) HCl vs. NH4OH
(iii) Mixture of HCl and CH3COOH vs. NaOH
