Question: Use the information below to answer the questions that follows Zn 2+ + 2e Zn (s) 0.76 Al 3+ + 3e Al -1.66

Use the information below to answer the questions that follows

Zn2+ + 2e → Zn (s) – 0.76

Al3+ + 3e Al -1.66

Fe2+ + 2e → Fe(s) – 0.44

(a) Calculate the EQ value for the electrochemical cell represented below Al(s)/Al3+ //Fe2+ (aq) / Fe + (s) ( 1 mk)

(b) Give a reason why aluminium metal would protect iron from rusting better than zinc metal
