Rhodium is a bright, hard, and highly reflective metal. It is most commonly used to plate white gold as this metal naturally has a yellow tone. If 1.91 g of rhodium is deposited at the cathode when a current of 6.65 A passes through an electrolytic cell for 1620 seconds, what is the oxidation state of rhodium in the aqueous solution? (MW of rhodium=102.91 g/mol; Faraday constant = 96485 C/mol e').

A metal "X" is used as a "sacrificial" anode on hulls of salt water vessels made of iron. The effect is to reverse the oxidation of iron to iron (II) by causing X to oxidize to the X ion. Calculate the voltage (in V, to two decimal places) for this reaction if it takes place under standard conditions. The standard reduction potential for X is -0.89 V (minus 0.89 V). Your Answer:

Tin cans are made of a steel, the inside of which is coated with a thin layer of tin. The tin protects the steel from corrosion by food products in the same manner as zinc protects steel from atmospheric corrosion. Briefly explain how this cathodic protection of tin cans is possible, given that tin is electrochemically less active than steel in the galvanic series.
