Chemistry EEI Idea:


 
General Aim- The effect of salt concentration on corrosion rate of magnesium in stagnant and aerated solutions.

                - Possible extension; Compare results to different metals such as steel and aluminum.

How to measure corrosion rate:

The rate of corrosion is the speed at which a metal deteriorates in a specific environment

In order to calculate the rate of corrosion, the following information must be collected:

•Weight loss (the decrease in metal weight during the reference time period)

•Density (density of the metal)

•Area (total initial surface area of the metal piece)

•Time (the length of the reference time period)
