Question: Problem 1 (40 points): Plot a polarization curve [current density j (Amperes/cm) versus potential E (Volt)] for the following electrode reaction between - 230 mV

Problem 1 (40 points): Plot a polarization curve [current density j (Amperes/cm) versus potential E (Volt)] for the following electrode reaction between - 230 mV and 230 mV. 0+ e R = Assume that both ohmic and concentration polarizations are absent: C = 1.50 mM, Co= 0.50 mM, E = -0.0500 V, k : 4.0x10-6 m/s, a = 0.60, T = 280 K. You can use a spreadsheet, Matlab, Octave, Scilab, etc. Show your solution method (computer code, excel formula, etc.) as well. As a calculation example, calculate by hand the value of current density at E = -0.1500 Volt.
