    The document contains polarization data and calculations for carbon steel corrosion in sulfuric acid. Key details: 1) Polarization resistance (Rp) was calculated to be 25.6 ohms from the linear polarization plot. The increasing overvoltage with current density suggests the absolute value of βC is greater than βA. 2) Tafel plots of anodic and cathodic polarization data were used to determine βA, βC, Ecorr, and Icorr. βA was 0.062 V/decade, βC was 0.103 V/decade, Ecorr was -0.519 V, and Icorr was 4.57x10-4 A. 3

    5-1. Plot the following cathodic polarization data for carbon steel in
    0.5N H2SO4 on linear coordinates and determine the polarization
    resistance. From the shape of the plot, would you estimate that
    the absolute value of βA is greater or less than βC?

    5-3. From the results of Problem 5-2, calculate the value of the
    proportionality constant, B, between icorr and Rp in equation [8].
    Then calculate the icorr corresponding to the Rp found in Problem
    5-1.
