An iron bolt is galvanized with a coating of zinc 0.03 cm (0.012 in) thick to protect the iron in a saltwater environment. The bolt has an area of 2 cm2 and is used to secure an iron plate with an area of 100 cm2 that is exposed to saltwater. In an experiment in seawater with a zinc coated iron anode of 2 cm2 and an iron plate cathode with an area of 100 cm2 a corrosion current of 2 mA is measured. Predict the expected lifetime in years or days of the zinc coating in this application assuming that the zinc coating is uniformly corroded and that the current efficiency is 100 %.
