Step 1: First, a container is filled with a solution of a salt of the metal that is to form the coating. For example, if copper is to form the coating, the solution will consist of copper sulfate (a salt of copper) mixed with water. This solution is called the electrolytic bath. The object to be plated is immersed in the bath. A metal bar, composed either of the metal that is to form the coating or of a metal that is not affected by the electrolytic bath, is also immersed in the bath. The entire apparatus is called an electrolytic cell…
Stainless steel commonly react with certain substance that probably will produce some defect whether inner or outer surface. This material contains small casting defects, mainly shrinkage cavities, due to the manufacturing process. Commonly in industries related to piping system, stainless steel pipelines and cylinder tubes are equipment or object that frequently used in our removable insulation installation. In most industrial nowadays, stainless steel pipes are frequently exposed to high temperatures and conditions, by insulating them is significant to energy savings. Although the reality that stainless steel is less corrosive than normal carbon steels, must remember that stainless steel is corrosion resistant, not corrosion proof.…

Galvanization is named after an Italian scientist named Luigi Galvani. Galvanization is the process by which zinc is coated onto corrosive metals. This process refers to any of the several electrochemical processes. During the process, zinc simply will not adhere to a steel surface that is not cleansed perfect. Galvanization protects from corrosion of various ‘soft metals’ but also adds strength of the original, uncoated…

(3) Citric acid is a colourless fruit acid. It is obtained directly from citrus fruits but can also be produced biotechnically. In system cleaning, the citric acid in AquaStar 1 is used for natural and effective descaling of the drinking water system (the water heater in particular). The descaling effect is achieved by a combination of the acid and the formation of a calcium complex. The advantage of using citric acid instead of vinegar for cleaning drinking water systems is the avoidance of the unpleasant vinegary taste. Citric acid also affords better corrosion protection to stainless steel containers by removing free iron from their surfaces.…

An ionic Iron solution with a known concentration of 4.047x10-3 M was obtained. A 250-mL sample of a 10-fold dilution of this ionic iron solution and 5 drops of concentrated HNO3 was made. This solution served as the source of ionic Iron for the remainder of the lab and was labeled “stock ionic Iron solution.” Next, a 50-mL aqueous ionic Iron and FerroZine® complex solution was prepared by adding 5.00mL stock ionic Iron, 3-mL of acetic acid buffer, 2-mL of 5% hydroxylamine hydrochloride, allowing five minutes for hydroxylamine to reduce Fe3+ to Fe2+, adding 2.5-mL of 0.01 M FerroZine® solution, and mixing well. A single beam Agilent technologies CARY60-UV-Vis Spectrophotometer was then employed to determine the optimum wavelength in the visible spectrum of the ionic Iron and FerroZine® complex.…
Purpose: To determine relative oxidizing and reducing strengths of a series of metals and ions. Oxidation and reduction reaction occur simultaneously side by side. A reduction reaction occurs only if an oxidation reaction occurs and vise-versa. Electrons are given in oxidation while in reduction electrons are gained. Oxidizing agent is a chemical substance which has a large tendency to gain electrons, while reducing agent is a chemical substance causes other substances to be reduced and itself oxidized. Procedure: For this lab was used metals and substances provided in the lab oxidation-reduction pack, and some extra materials. Using the well-plate and the correct amount of drops and the right metal on the right well, to see the reaction with each different substance. Observations: This experiment required some time and patience to analyze the results. For each well required a different substance and a different metal to be inserted in the well. Different metals react faster or slower depending the substance they are added. Na2SO3 with magnesium bubbles appeared around the magnesium piece and we could predict a reaction. MgSO4 with zinc No reaction observed Zn (NO3)2 with lead and aluminum No reaction observed FeCl3 with lead and aluminum reacts with foil, the piece dissolves in the solution and the lead piece seems to be oxidizing. CuSO4 with iron the screw seems to be oxidized quickly; it changes the color of it to a pinkish tone.…
The purpose of this experiment is to help you sharpen your observational skills. The aluminum foil was found to rust in the water containing the dissolved Copper Chloride (CuCl₂) crystals. The results of the experiments were determined through close examination and observation of both qualitative and quantitative elements of the changes that occurred when a blue crystal, Copper Chloride, reacted with aluminum foil. In conclusion, aluminum foil is turned into copper when in contact with Copper Chloride (CuCl₂) granules.…

The experiment is thus carried out on three samples each of aluminium, copper and stainless steel. The samples were weighed, then subjected to immersion in different solutions. The three solutions used were conc. sulphuric acid, water and conc. Naoh solution. These solutions were chosen so that the range of the pH scale is covered as much as possible, with each having pH values of 4, 7, and11 respectively.…
