Waec Model Questions Vol1 2025 Chemistry Question 5
Practice objective / multiple choice question 5 from the 2025 Waec Model Questions Vol1 Chemistry examination.
An alloy pipe (brass) contains 70 % Cu and 30 % Zn by mass and has a total mass of 2.00 kg. The pipe is a solid cylinder 1.20 m long with an outer diameter of 5.0 cm. When immersed in 0.10 M HCl, only the zinc component corrodes according to Zn + 2H⁺ → Zn²⁺ + H₂. The corrosion proceeds at a current density of 0.00025 A cm⁻² over the entire external surface. Assuming 100 % current efficiency, calculate (a) the mass of zinc lost after 10 days and (b) the percentage loss of the total pipe mass. (F = 96485 C mol⁻¹, atomic weight Zn = 65.38 g mol⁻¹)
