Which would NOT protect iron from corrosion? Electroplating with Zn Attaching to Ni Electroplating with Cr O Covering with paint or oil Attaching to Mg

An aqueous solution of an unknown salt of vanadium is electrolyzed by a current of 2.50 amps for 1.90 hours. The electroplating is carried out with an efficiency of 95.0%, resulting in a deposit of 2.850 g of vanadium. a How many faradays are required to deposit the vanadium? b What is the charge on the vanadium ions (based on your calculations)?

Aluminum (E Al 3+/Al=2.07V) is more easily oxidized than iron (E Fe 3+/Fe=2.07V), and yet when both are exposed to the environment, untreated aluminum has very good corrosion resistance while the corrosion resistance of untreated iron is poor. Explain this observation.
