A thick steel sheet of area 100 in.2 is exposed to air near the ocean. After a one-year period it was found to experience a weight loss of 485 g due to corrosion. To what rate of corrosion, in both mpy and mm/yr, does this correspond

Therefore the rate of corrosion 37.4 mpy and 0.952 mm/yr.

Explanation:

The corrosion rate is the rate of material remove.The formula for calculating CPR or corrosion penetration rate is

K= constant depends on the system of units used.

W= weight =485 g

D= density =7.9 g/cm³

A = exposed specimen area =100 in² =6.452 cm²

K=534 to give CPR in mpy

K=87.6  to give CPR in mm/yr

mpy

        =37.4mpy

mm/yr

       =0.952 mm/yr

Therefore the rate of corrosion 37.4 mpy and 0.952 mm/yr.

b) phosphorus pentoxide

the gas collects in coils that then becomes a liquid that then flows through the coils inside the refrigerator
