Intended Learning Objectives.

By the end of this lecture, learners should be able to understand and explain the fundamental principles of aqueous corrosion as an electrochemical process, including the roles of oxidation and reduction reactions, the significance of electrical charge in corrosion, the spatial separation of anodic and cathodic reactions, and the implications of maintaining charge neutrality. Additionally, learners should grasp that slowing down one of the electrochemical processes can effectively reduce the overall corrosion rate.
