PART - A

125 marks
a

What is the difference between chemical and electrochemical corrosion?

2 marks

Answer

Chemical corrosion occurs through direct chemical attack of the environment on the metal surface, whereas electrochemical corrosion involves the formation of separate anodic and cathodic areas with the flow of electrons through an electrolyte.

Write anode and cathode reactions of Ni-Cd cell.

3 marks

Answer

Anode reaction:

Cd(s) + 2OH-(aq) → Cd(OH)2(s) + 2e-

Cathode reaction:

NiO2(s) + 2H2O(l) + 2e- → Ni(OH)2(s) + 2OH-(aq)
