Which of the following type of polarization has a negligible effect on velocity?(a) Concentration polarization(b) Activation polarization(c) Concentration polarization and Activation polarization(d) Neither concentration nor Activation polarizationThe question was asked at a job interview.This intriguing question comes from Modern Theory Applications in division Modern Theory Applications of Corrosion Engineering

Answer»

Right choice is (b) Activation POLARIZATION

Explanation: Activation polarization is the mechanism of polarization in which the activation ENERGY of reactants at the INTERFACE is the driving FORCE. It has a negligible effect on velocity as it is independent of diffusion of IONS in the bulk solution.
