After accidental immersion in an aqueous solution for 48 hours, a piece of iron exhibited a weight loss of 1.5 g/cm2. Calculate the corresponding anodized current density in mA/cm2 and corrosion rate in mils/year assuming that all corrosion is due to the anodic half-cell reaction Fe> Fe2+(aq) + 2e-. The density of iron is 7.874 g/cm3 and its atomic weight is 55.845 g/mol.
