Magnesium metal is placed in contact with an underground steel storage tank to inhibit the corrosion of the tank because
1. magnesium has a lower oxidation poten-
tial than iron.
2. magnesium is cheaper than gold.
3. magnesium metal is a better reducing
agent than iron.
4. magnesium functions as the cathode in
the electrochemical cell instead of the iron.
5. magnesium has a higher reduction poten-
tial than iron.
