Total volume for 100g mass of this alloy = 13.53 cm3

Ƥ = 100/14.2 = 7.391 g/cm3

Volume of the anode (disc shape):

Radius = 6.5 cm; Height = 0.1 cm or more

V = π r2h = π*6.5*0.1 = 13.273 cm3 = 13273 mm3

  • If h = 1 mm → V = 13273 mm3 = 13.273 cm3

M1 = Ƥ V = 7.391*13.273 = 98.100743 g

MNi = 286 g

MCe = 510 g

MSm = 147 g
