Science behind corrosion-test
Corrosion is defined as an activity that transforms refined metals into more chemically stable forms such as oxide, hydroxide, carbonate, or sulfide. It refers to the slow decomposition of things (typically metals); thanks to chemical and/or electrochemical reactions with their surroundings. Corrosion engineering is the science of preventing and controlling corrosion.

![**Balancing Redox Reaction in Acidic Solution**
Task: Balance the following redox reaction in an acidic solution:
\[ \text{Xe(g)} + \text{Cr}_2\text{O}_7^{2-}\text{(aq)} \rightarrow \text{Xe}_2\text{O}_5\text{(s)} + \text{Cr}^{2+}\text{(aq)} \]
**Final Balanced Reaction Equation:**
\[ \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \]
In this exercise, you are required to apply the principles of balancing redox reactions in an acidic medium. The task involves ensuring that the number of atoms and the charges are balanced on both sides of the equation.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F5fec082c-18f1-472b-ba76-2a14c67dcb07%2F25043320-5d44-4896-9aca-15d3817adc3b%2Fmxm6fgt_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
