MarksQuestion 30 Shipwrecks, Corrosion and Conservation (25 marks)(a) The ocean represents a massive electrolyte solution. It contains a large quantity of dissolved
minerals and notable levels of dissolved gases such as oxygen and carbon dioxide.
1(i) Identify the effect of increasing ocean depth on the solubility of oxygen andcarbon dioxide.
4(ii) Account for the fact that the relative solubility does not necessarily correspond to theactual concentrations of these gases at increasing depths. Include relevant equationsin your answer.
(b) During your study of this option you performed a first-hand investigation to compare thecorrosion of iron in different temperatures and salt concentrations.
3(i) Outline the procedure you used in this investigation.
3(ii) Justify the appropriateness of the experimental procedure in part (i) to generate validand reliable results and conclusions.
7(c) Describe the process of rusting and analyse and explain the conditions under which therusting of iron occurs.
(d) A student set up the following equipment to gather first-hand data about the factorsaffecting an electrolysis reaction:
1(i) Identify the cathode in this electrolytic cell.
2(ii) Calculate the voltage required for this cell and write the half-equations for thereactions occurring at the anode and cathode.
It is possible to vary the oxidation and reduction processes that take place in an electrolyticcell by altering components of the set up. This includes changing the electrodes used, theconcentration or nature of the electrolyte or changing the electrolyte species altogether.
A student wants to set up an electrolytic cell similar to the one shown in order todemonstrate the effect that some of these changes will have on the overall redox reaction.
3(iii) Describe two specific modifications that could be made to the experimental set upthat would alter the reactions occurring. Predict the changes that would occur.Include relevant half equations and electrode potentials in your answer.
1(iv) Identify one use of electrolysis in the conservation and restoration of artefactssalvaged from ocean wrecks.
