Electrochem problem

[Suspicious-Teach8788]

1) What happens to the corrosion reaction when the membrane is removed?

Like if you have Iron and Copper plates dipped in their own cation solutions... you will have an electrochem cell, but what happens when you remove the porous membrane in the middle??

2) What happens to the corrosion reaction when the bottom ends of the
electrodes are ?short-circuited? by physical contact beneath the fluid level of
the electrolyte? Explain.

I'm guessing there's no more electrons flowing because there's no longer a driving force? (RedOx)

3) What happens to the corrosion reaction when the electrolyte is drained and
replaced with fresh water? Explain.

very confused.. this is not hw, but practice final w/o solutions... =/

1) The equillibrum will be pushed in the cation direction causing the flux capacitor to perform an exergonic (50000 KJ) reaction of tremedous proportions.

2) & 3) See above.
