Given that the Tafel constants for the deposition of zinc on platinum are a = 0.280 V and b = 0.059 V respectively, show why it is not possible to plate zinc onto platinum by electrolysis of a zinc salt at unit activity in a neutral solution at a current density of 1 mA cm-2. (Hint: calculate the potential for plating and compare with E2H↔H2 when pH = 7)

SOLVED: Calculate the Tafel constant for hydrogen evolution of iron. Corrosion rates of iron are 10 A/m^2 and exchange current density is 10^-3 A/m^2. The potential of an iron electrode with respect to SHE is -0.90 V in a zero pH solution. The Tafel constant can be calculated using the formula:Tafel constant = (2.303 * RT) / (nF)where R is the gas constant (8.314 J/(mol*K)), T is the temperature in Kelvin, n is the number of electrons transferred in the reaction, and F is Faraday's constant (964
