Abstract
The corrosion reactions of zinc are complicated even in apparently simple conditions, and Biestek & Niemiec have identified many new compounds in the corrosion products, while Markovic et al. and Grauer & Feitknecht have studied the thermodynamic aspects of its aqueous corrosion. Wiederholt has comprehensively reviewed the corrosion data for zinc in aqueous solution, and in more recent work by Schikorr, nitrate and carbonic acid are both shown to cause the potential of zinc to change to a more ‘noble’ value.
