Consider following reaction:

2Cu + H2O + CO2 + O2 → Cu(OH)2 + CuCO3

Would the corrosion product be a good corrosion barrier? Justify your answer with the Pilling-Bedworth ratio.

Start from the beginning of the derivation and divide the volume of the product by the volume of the reacted metal. Hint: in the above reaction, consider 2 mols of Cu reacted and go from there.
