Taken from Introduction To Corrosion Science by E. McCafferty
Two notable things occur during a cathodic reaction. 1.) A given species undergoes reduction (there is a decrease in its oxidation number)
2.) A gain of electrons at the cathodic site (electrons are consumed by the reaction)
An example of a cathodic reaction is:
2H+(aq) + 2e- ==> H2(g)
This reaction however is just a half-cell reaction, which means it is usually coupled (happens along with) an anodic reaction.

What is the full form of meq in cathodic electro deposition?
m equivalent
What evidence did Thomson have that his glowing beam contained negative particles?
The cathodic rays beam was deflected by the atomic nucleus.
Write differences between Anodic Coatings and cathodic coatings?
In anodic system, small amounts of the metal migrates into the coating film limiting it's usefulness in corrosion protection. Anodic coatings are used in less severe environments and are generally economical and produce a nice surface finish. Cathodic systems produce an coating free of metal migration and are much more robust. These systems are useful in heavy corrosive environments.
Another name for a composition reaction is?
Formation reaction.
What are nucleophilic reaction?
A reaction in which a negative ion (nucleophile) attacks on a partially positive carbon atom then reaction is known as nucleophilic reaction, it may be substitution reaction or addition reaction.
What is the equation for cathodic reaction?
During electrolysis a cation moves towards cathode where it accepts the electrons and becomes reduced. M+ + e- ------> M
Why does keeping iron dry prevent it from rusting?
Iron corroding is basically Fe -----> Fen+ + n e- . This is the anodic reaction. However, due to the law of conservation of charge there needs to be a balancing cathodic reaction to consume the electrons produced. In neutral solutions this is: 2H2O + O2 + 4 e- ------> 4OH- . So if the iron is kept dry there is no balancing cathodic reaction and rusting or corrosion is slowed down vastly or stopped.
What is cathodic protection used for?
Cathodic protection is a way of preventing or controlling corrosion of a metal structure.
What is the counterpart of cathodic?
Anodic
What does the word cathodic mean?
Of or to do with a cathode.
What is used for protection?
Cathodic protection is used to control corrosion of metal on the surface of structures in various environments. In some cases Cathodic protection can prevent stress corrosion and fracturing.
KKS Power Plant Classification System for Cathodic Protection?
The KKS system is a standardized system for the classification of technical equipment in power plants. It does not specifically address cathodic protection systems. Cathodic protection systems are typically classified based on their method (e.g., impressed current or sacrificial anode) and location within the power plant.
Is cathodic and sacrificial protection different and if so what are the differences?
Chalo hut
What protects metal from rusting?
Coatings Cathodic Protection If steel- galvanizing
What is 'meq' value mean in cathodic electrodeposition what is the formula for this?
miligram equivalent
What is the full form of meq in cathodic electro deposition?
m equivalent
Metal used in cathodic protection ions?
aluminum, platinum, carbon & silicon
