Title: anode constructed out of iron
Post by: 10kd10 on March 20, 2005, 08:38:18 PM
Hi,

 I was wondering why iron is a bad as an anode?
I know that its too reactive, so it might stuff up the electrolysis, and that its oxidation potential is too high (0.44)...im just not quite sure about it

any help would be appreciated
