Question 1
The Butler-Volmer equation describes electrode kinetics and reduces to the Tafel approximation when:
Correct Answer:
Overpotential is sufficiently large that one exponential term dominates, giving log(i) ~ linear in η
Question 2
Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) of a coated metal typically shows which behavior when the coating is intact and high-quality?
Correct Answer:
High low-frequency impedance modulus (>10^9 ohm·cm2) and nearly pure capacitive (phase -90°) behavior
Question 3
In the Pourbaix diagram for iron, cathodic protection with a target of -0.85 V CSE (~-0.55 V SHE) typically places the steel in:
Correct Answer:
The region near the immunity boundary, where cathodic protection is considered adequate for most practical purposes
Question 4
Which of the following best describes 'mixed potential theory' as applied to corroding metal in an aerated, slightly acidic solution?
Correct Answer:
The metal's open-circuit potential (Ecorr) is determined by the simultaneous balance of metal dissolution (anodic) and both hydrogen evolution and oxygen reduction (cathodic) reactions
Question 5
Which of the following is TRUE about the 'Wagner-Traud' mixed-potential approach?
Correct Answer:
It treats the metal as experiencing superposed anodic and cathodic partial reactions, each governed by its own kinetics, and Ecorr is where total anodic = total cathodic current
