Which of the following is a cathode and anode respectively in the Ag-Fe system?(a) Iron (Fe) and Silver (Ag)(b) Silver (Ag) and Iron (Fe)(c) Gold (Ag) and Iron (Fe)(d) Iron (Fe) and Gold (Ag)This question was addressed to me during a job interview.I would like to ask this question from Modern Theory Principles topic in division Modern Theory Principles of Corrosion Engineering

Answer»

Right answer is (b) Silver (Ag) and Iron (Fe)

Easy explanation: In the Ag-Fe system, Silver (Ag) (+0.80V) acts as a cathode as the standard HYDROGEN POTENTIAL is RELATIVELY higher than the Iron (Fe) (-0.44V) and Iron acts as ANODE due to relatively LESS standard hydrogen potential.
