An initially hollow steel pipe has an inner radius of 5.0 cm, an outer radius of 6.0 cm and a length of 2.00 m. It is exposed to seawater, and uniform corrosion reduces the outer radius at a constant rate of 0.05 mm per day. (i) How many days will elapse before the pipe wall is completely lost? (ii) Assuming the density of iron is 7.85 g cm^{-3}, calculate the mass of iron that has corroded by that time (in kilograms, to three significant figures). (iii) Using the reaction 4 Fe + 3 O_{2} \rightarrow 2 Fe_{2}O_{3}, determine the mass of Fe_{2}O_{3} formed (in kilograms, to three significant figures).
