    This document discusses chemical activity and corrosion of metals. It describes reactions between various metals and solutions, finding that magnesium, zinc, iron, and copper decrease in activity. The document also examines different types of corrosion like stress corrosion, high temperature corrosion, and galvanic corrosion through experiments with bent, heated, and wrapped nails. Magnesium is identified as an effective sacrificial anode material to prevent corrosion through anodic protection.

    2. Arrange the metals according to decreasing activity.

    Most reactive Least reactive


    Magnesium (Mg), Zinc (Zn), Iron (Fe), Copper (Cu)
    3. Write the chemical equations for the reactions that occurred between the metal and
    solution. What type of chemical reaction is taking place?

    Magnesium in Copper Sulfate: Oxidation Reduction Reaction Single displacement

    Oxidation: Mg(s) → Mg2+(aq) + 2e-


    Reduction: Cu2+(aq) + 2e- → Cu(s)
    Full Reaction: Mg (s) + Cu2+ (aq) → Cu (s) + Mg2+ (aq)

    Magnesium in Iron Sulfate: Oxidation Reduction Reaction Single displacement

    Oxidation: Mg(s) → Mg2+(aq) + 2e–


    Reduction: Fe3+(aq) + 3e– → Fe(s)

    Full Reaction: Mg(s) + Fe2+ (aq) → Fe(s) + Mg2+(aq)

    Zinc in Copper Sulfate: Oxidation Reduction Reaction Single displacement

    Oxidation: Zn(s) → Zn2+(aq) + 2e-


    Reduction: Cu2+(aq) + 2e- → Cu(s)
    Full Reaction: Zn(s) + Cu2+(aq) → Zn2+(aq) + Cu(s)

    Zinc in Iron Sulfate: Oxidation Reduction Reaction Single displacement

    Oxidation: Zn(s) → Zn2+(aq) + 2e-


    Reduction: Fe3+(aq) + 3e– → Fe(s)
    Final Reaction: Zn(s) + Fe2- (aq) → Zn2- (aq) + Fe (s)

    Iron in Copper Sulfate: Oxidation Reduction Reaction Single displacement

    Oxidation: Fe(s) → Fe2+(aq) + 2 e-


    Reduction: Cu2+(aq) + 2e- → Cu(s)
    Final Reaction: Fe(s) + Cu2+(aq) = Fe2+(aq) + Cu (s)

    B. Preparation of Agar

    1. Give the function of each of the following materials in the preparation of the agar media.
    a. Sodium chloride- maintains salt concentration in the medium so that it will turn into
    saltwater that is an enhanced conductor than regular water.

    a. Agar- used for the cultivation of microbes supporting growth of a wide range of non-
    fastidious organisms.

    b. Phenolphthalein solution- acid base indicator that will change color when exposed to
    normal alkaline conditions in the agar.

    b. Potassium ferricyanide solution- reacts with ferrous iron in acidic solutions to


    produce the insoluble blue pigment.

    c. Agar- used for the cultivation of microbes supporting growth of a wide range of non-
    fastidious organisms.

    E. Types of Corrosion

    1. What does the color patches signify? Represent with balance equations, the reactions
    that produced the different colors.

    Blue Patches – Presence of iron ions due to corrosion


    Pink – Indicates OH- ion due to corrosion
    Redox reaction:
    Oxidation: Fe(s) → Fe2+(aq) + 2 e-
    Reduction: 2H2O + 1/2O2 + 2e- →2OH-
    Final Reaction: Fe + H2O → FeO + H2
    Fe2+ (aq) + 2OH– (aq) → Fe (OH)2(s)

    2. On the circle provided, draw the observed color developed on the different iron nails.
    Indicate the position of the color patches observed. Label the type of nails properly.

    Scenario A. Straight nail and bent a.What kind of corrosion exhibited the bent
    nail nail?
    -Stress Corrosion

    Nail with
    copper wire Straight Nail
    b. What happens to the structure of the nail
    when it is bent? How is this related to
    corrosion

    When the nail is bent it will cause a stress in


    the bent area that allows faster oxidation of
    Iron ions.

    Bent Nail
    Blue Coloration: Head, the Tip of
    the nail, and the bent area.
    Pink Coloration: In between the
    ends of the nail and the bent area.
    Scenario B. Nail hammered at the c. What type of corrosion is demonstrated here?
    middle and nail heated until red hot -Stress Corrosion and High Temperature
    then cooled Corrosion

    Heated Nail

    d. What happens to structure of metals when


    they are heated and how is this related to
    corrosion?

    When a metal is heated, its size will expand.


    The corrosion will accelerate because the
    Hammered Nail electrochemical process will accelerate at
    higher temperature.
    Blue Coloration: Head and the tip
    of the nail.
    Pink Coloration: In between the
    ends of the nail. The hammered nail
    has more pink coloration than heated
    nail

    Scenario C. Nail wrapped with Cu, e. What type of corrosion was shown in this
    Al and Sn experiment?
    -Galvanic Corossion
    f. Which of the following metals can act as an
    example of cathodic protection? Explain
    your answer.
    Aluminum Metals like Copper and Tin have high
    Tin covered
    covered Nail
    Nail chance of being use as cathodes because they
    are less reactive than the Iron nail.

    Blue Coloration: NONE


    Pink Coloration: All area of the
    nails except to the covered area.

    g. Which of the following metals can act as an


    example of anodic protection? Explain your
    answer.
    Aluminum would be the best fit to be
    used since it is more reactive than the
    iron and it can act as sacrificial anode to
    protect the cathode metal.

    Scenario D. Nail wrapped with Mg h. Which of the following scenario is an


    ribbon and nail beside Mg ribbon example of a sacrificial anode?

    Iron Nail Nail + Magnesium


    and Ribbon Nail wrapped with a Magnesium Ribbon

    Magnesium Ribbon
    i. How can a sacrificial anode prevent
    corrosion?

    A sacrificial anode prevents


    corrosion by flowing a current to the
    corrosion of the cathode and moves the
    corrosion toward the anode.
