What are the condition that promote corrosion?

Both air and water are needed for corrosion to take place


Is oxidized copper in liquid phase considered an electrolyte?

No, oxidized copper in liquid phase is not considered an electrolyte. An electrolyte is a substance that can conduct electricity when dissolved in a liquid. Oxidized copper, while it may contain ions, does not exhibit the same electrical conductivity properties as typical electrolytes.


Will an aluminum and a zinc electrode in pure water create a current?

If you put two metal electrodes in an electrolyte, such as salt water, electrons will flow from the less-noble metal to the more-noble one. If you use two electrodes of the same metal, there is no difference in nobility so no current will flow.


Is hno2 and electrolyte or a non electrolyte?

It is an electrolyte


What is electrolytic cleaning?

It's a form of electroplating. In electroplating, you put the thing you want to plate in an electrolyte and connect the positive cable from a DC power source to it, a piece of the metal you want to plate it with (call it "donor metal") in the electrolyte and connect the negative cable, turn on the power and stand back as metal atoms flow from the donor metal to the item you're plating. In electrolytic cleaning, you hook up the cables "backwards"--the positive to the item you're trying to clean, the negative to a bar of metal--and when you turn the juice on, metal atoms will flow from the item you're cleaning to the bar of metal...taking the crud with them.

Is copper metal an electrolyte?

No. Metals are not electrolytes.


Is copper an electrolyte?

No, copper is not an electrolyte. Electrolytes are substances that conduct electricity when dissolved in water, while copper is a metal that does not conduct electricity in the same way.


What effect does electroplating have on the concentration of an electrolyte?

Electroplating reduces the concentration of the electrolyte over time as metal ions are consumed from the solution to deposit on the cathode. This can lead to a decrease in the concentration of metal ions in the solution, potentially affecting the plating process. Periodic replenishment or monitoring of the electrolyte concentration is often necessary to maintain optimal plating conditions.


Is NaF a metal or non metal?

What can you use for an electrolyte?

Anything that ionizes is ideal as an electrolyte, the more easily it ionizes in an aqueous, the better an electrolyte it is. For example sodium ions, Na+(aq), are better electrolytes than Iron metal particles, Fe(s).


What is the best electrolyte for rust removal and how effective is it in removing rust from metal surfaces?

The best electrolyte for rust removal is citric acid. It is effective in removing rust from metal surfaces by breaking down the rust and allowing it to be easily wiped away.


What metal solution is called a n?

A solution of two or more metals is called an alloy.


What is galvanic series?

Each metal when placed into an electrolyte, water, seawater, soil or any other good electrolyte, has an electric potential. This potential is different for every metal. The galvanic series is a list of this potential arranged from the most "active",lower potential to the most "noble", higher potential. The terms "noble" and "active" means that when two metal are connected the most "active", with the lower potential will corrode, while the metal with the higher potential, the "noble" material will not corrode. The galvanic series, the potentials, are different in different electrolyte.


What are electrolyte plates in a grounding system?

Electrolyte plates in a grounding system are electrically grounded metal plates on which a person stands to discharge static electricity picked up by his body. This is called grounding.


Is iron a electrolyte?

No, iron is not an electrolyte. Electrolytes are substances that produce ions when dissolved in water and can conduct electricity, while iron is a chemical element that does not easily form ions in solution.

Is Chromium III carbonate a strong weak or non-electrolyte?

As most non-alkaline metal carbonates (valences +2 and +3) it is insoluble in water, so Chromium III carbonate is a non-electrolyte.
