In Experiment 2, Kinetics: spectrophotometric determination of a rate law, what is the “pseudo” rate constant and to which reactant does it apply to?
The “pseudo” rate constant in this case was utilized when we were unable to use the integrated rate law equations because we had two reactants rather than one. So, the sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) was applied in excess to remain essentially constant throughout the reaction as the Blue #1 concentration changed.

what is corrosion?
an undesired electrochemical reaction that occurs when an electrochemical cell naturally forms with a metal and a second chemical in the environment (oxygen).
what is galvanic corrosion?
two different metal types are in electrical contact with one another. More active metal (greater reduction potential) will undergo corrosion more rapidly, and the metal with the more positive reduction potential will undergo corrosion more slowly.
what is stress corrosion?
The crystal lattice of iron becomes strained when the metal is cold worked or shaped. The atoms in the most severely distorted crystal lattice become more anodic and so they corrode more rapidly than other parts of the metal.
How does the hull of a ship corrode faster than other parts of a ship as explained in Experiment 9, Electrochemistry 2: Corrosion?
Oxygen is present at higher concentrations at the surface of the water so it pulls electrons from the hull at the surface. Parts of the ship that are below the water level are exposed to a lower concentration of oxygen and thus replace the electrons at the surface. This makes the metal below the surface the anode and the metal at the surface the cathode. The oxidation that occurs at the anode dissociates the solid iron into cationic aqueous iron, damaging the ship.
What is an impressed current cathodic system?
When corrosion is controlled by using an external current to connect the metal to a more easily corroded metal, protecting the desired metal by making it the cathode and sacrificing the other metal to be the anode.
