Lead experiences corrosion in an acid solution according to the reaction

The rates of both oxidation and reduction half-reactions are controlled by activation polarization.

(a) Compute the rate of oxidation of Pb (in mol/cm2-s) given the following activation polarization data:

(b) Compute the value of the corrosionpotential.
