Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which application of electrochemistry is used for corrosion prevention?
  • Step 1: Understand that corrosion is the process where metals deteriorate due to chemical reactions, often with oxygen and moisture.
  • Step 2: Learn that electrochemistry studies the relationship between electricity and chemical reactions.
  • Step 3: Identify that cathodic protection is a method used to prevent corrosion.
  • Step 4: Know that in cathodic protection, the metal that needs protection is made the cathode in an electrochemical cell.
  • Step 5: Realize that by making the metal the cathode, it prevents the metal from losing electrons and corroding.
