Corrosion is the deterioration and undesirable scale formation in metal by either chemical attack or reaction with its environment. Corrosion control of metals involves technical, economical, environmental, and aesthetical significance. The use of corrosion inhibitors constitutes one of the most economical ways to protect metal surfaces against corrosion and preserve industrial facilities [1, 2]. The study of corrosion of mild steel is a subject of incredible theoretical and practical interest and as such has established a considerable amount of attention. Industrial acid cleaning, acid descaling, acid pickling and oil well acidizing widely require acid solutions. The use of corrosion inhibitors is very necessary in order to restrain corrosion attack of acid solutions on metallic materials. A corrosion inhibitor is a chemical substance which, when added in small …show more content…
Weight loss measurements
Weight loss studies on mild steel in 1 mol L-1 HCl solution in the absence and presence of different concentrations of GAI gum for various immersion periods (1, 2, 4, 6, 12 h) at temperature range from 303-323K were performed. After specific time of immersion, each coupon is washed using double distilled water to remove the corrosion product, rinsed with acetone, dried and reweighed. From the average weight loss results, the corrosion rate (CR), the inhibition efficiency (IE) and surface coverage (θ) were determined using the following known equations (1-3). Corrosion rate (mmpy) = (87.6 × W) / ρAt ---------- (1) Where, W is the weight loss in g, ‘ρ’is the density of the mild steel specimen in gcm˗3, ‘A’ is the area of specimen in cm2 and t is the time of exposure in h. Inhibition Efficiency (IE) = (W0- Wi) / W0 X 100 ---------- (2) Surface Coverage (θ) = (W0- Wi) / W0 ---------- (3)
Where Wi and W0 are the weight losses of mild steel in presence and absence of inhibitor
Testing was performed at 23 ºC under the condition of 0% RH at 1 atm with the standard of ASTM D3985. Measurements were taken at three times and the average value was calculated. All specimens were conditioned at ambient conditions.
Stainless steel, especially, Austenitic stainless steel, because of their high corrosion resistance and customizable mechanical properties has become an indispensable part of the regularly evolving modern day technology. Stainless steels of various grades find applications in numerous fields starting from the household to the nuclear reactors; from food and beverage cans to construction of different automobile parts. The formation of impervious oxide layer on the surface makes it suitable for use in adverse environments such as sea water.
“The thing is to understand myself, to see what God really wishes me to do; the thing is to find a truth which is true for me, to find the idea for which I can live and die” (Kierkegaard 95). Søren Kierkegaard was a clear supporter of expressing our own personality. He wanted us to take the time to find our true selves. Even though he acknowledged there were social systems in our society, he still believed we were our own individual human being. The only way to make sense of our life and find our individuality is to embrace our faith in God. Kierkegaard wanted human beings to be able to exercise their freedom. Human beings should not postpone their choices simply because they do not know the universal truth. As humans we cannot postpone our choices because we will never
The form of Density is partitioned into three sections: A measures 1 - 23, B measures 18 - 40, A1 measures 41 - end. The first A section can be broken into two parts: Aa mm1-14 and Ab mm.15-23. The B section may be broken into two smaller parts, the first Ba from measures 24-29 and the second Bb from measures 32-36 with the omitted portions (mm. 29-32 and mm. 36-40) functioning as transitional material. The unmistakable return of A occurs in measure 41.
According to the research that I have conducted, acid alone does not clean as well as acid and salt, due to the breakdown of copper oxide caused by the vinegar and salt. This will support my hypothesis for this experiment that a rusty penny placed in a solution of vinegar and salt will clean a rusty penny better than placing a rusty peen in cleaning vinegar only.
Fluoride has been established for many years as an effective material in the fight against caries. Silver has been used in health care as an anti-bacterial agent in many medical applications such as silver sutures and silver catheters. Silver diamine fluoride was created to conjoin the effectiveness of both. According to a critical review by Rosenblatt et al (2009), “…silver interacts with sulfhydryl groups of proteins and with DNA, altering hydrogen bonding and inhibiting respiratory processes, DNA unwinding, cell-wall synthesis, and cell division (Pg #?).” It is through those means that pathogens are destroyed and biofilm formations are hindered. The study by Lou et al (201...

The purpose of performing this lab was to find the specific heat capacity of an unknown metal.
The purpose of this project was to discover how the pH level affects corrosion rate. The hypothesis was if the pH level affects the corrosion rate, then the lower the pH level is quicker the corrosion rate would be. This will happen because liquids below the pH level of 7 possess stronger acidic attributes. The effect of pH level on corrosion rate was determined by depositing a copper penny in each of three plastic cups, and then three different liquids by their pH levels, were assigned to be displaced into each cup formulating a chemical reaction to be observed. The results collected during this investigation contradicted with the intended result, this experiment was conducted to determine corrosion rate; Dana Puti Vingear (pH level: 4.5) 4 2/3 days, Tropicana Orange Juice (pH level 3.88) 6 1/3 days, and Sprite (pH level: 3.4) 8 days. The results showed that the hypothesis was refuted. This happened because the preconceived idea was that the liquid with the lowest pH level; Sprite, would have the quickest corrosion rate. Dana Puti Vinegar had the quickest corrosion rate proving the statement wrong, it was discovered that it contains ethanoic acid; acid containing twice the amount of carbon dioxide than a regular acid. To further understand this topic, future research could include; how does the amount of liquid incorporated affect the corrosion rate, how does the temperature of the liquid affect the corrosion rate, and how does the purity of iron affect the corrosion rate?
There is inadequate research/information on molds and how they are affected by acids. There is not sufficient information on the elimination or prevention of molds on household and grocery items. To test possible solutions, the growth of mold will be examined using different acids to help keep the mold at a low quantity. Two different substances, one with a high acidity and one with a low acidity, will be used along with water as our “mold repellants”. At the conclusion of each trial, each acid’s ability to prevent mold growth will be documented. Conducting this experiment will benefit the scientific world because it researches a problem that has not been thoroughly solved. Perhaps a way to prevent mold from growing can be developed with further study. This experiment will serve as a beginning to what could possibly become a great discovery. The results of this experiment will be beneficial to scientists and could possibly serve as a baseline concept for mold prevention and influence further experimentation.
This paper will first discuss the development of the steel industry. Next, it will examine steel, and in the impact it had on the transportation industry. Finally, it will discuss systematic management practices of this time and how they gave birth to the scientific approach that is still in use today.

In this lab, we dissolved Sodium hydroxide, a strong base and corrosive, in 50ml of water to observe the change in temperature of the solution. At room temperature, sodium hydroxide is a white crystal-like odorless solid that absorbs moisture from the air. When dissolved in water or used to neutralized acid, it unleashes substantial heat which undoubtedly the predominant catalyst for the change in the energy. The heat that is produced by sodium hydroxide is sufficient to ignite combustible substances, as it is very corrosive. Sodium hydroxide is often manufactured to soaps, paper, explosives, and petroleum products. It is also used in processing cotton fabric, laundering and bleaching, and metal cleaning and processing. Additionally, it is commonly present in commercial drains and oven cleaners. (“SODIUM HYDROXIDE”)
