A piece оf irоn cоrrodes uniformly in seаwаter with а corrosion current density of 35 uA/cm2. The denity of iron is 7.87 g/cm3. The atomic weight of Fe is 55.8 g/mol. Calculate the corresponding corrosion rate in mm/yr. Faraday's constant is 96,500 C/equivalent.
Buyer аnd Seller entered intо а written аgreement by which Seller wоuld sell tо Buyer an income producing commercial building for $5 million. The terms of the agreement included a $500,000 down payment by Buyer and Buyer would finance the remainder of the purchase price through a lender of her choice. Prior to the close of the sale: 1) Seller was to cooperate with making all the books and records of the building available for Buyer’s due diligence as well as all tenant files and lease agreements; and 2) Buyer would re-negotiate the expiring parking contract and sign a new contract with a nearby parking garage. Time was made expressly of the essence in the agreement. Buyer and Seller executed the escrow instructions and Buyer deposited the down payment. Escrow was scheduled to close on June 1st and Buyer would have immediate possession of the building before the close of business on that date. Buyer procured a mortgage loan commitment from Bank to finance the balance of the purchase price ($4,500,000) plus closing costs ($225,000) for 20 years at an annual interest rate of 5.98%. The commitment expired on June 30th. By the last week of May, Seller had failed to make its books and records and tenant files available to Buyer. And Buyer had not yet executed a renewed contract with the parking garage owner. Buyer was unable to communicate with Seller until June 15th at which time Seller expressed his reticence about closing the deal while continuing to deny access to the documents which would facilitate Buyer’s due diligence. By July 1st the Seller had taken no further action to close the sale and had stopped responding to Buyer’s requests for cooperation or performance. On July 15th Buyer brought action in state court to compel Seller to perform the agreement and close the sale. On that date, Buyer obtained a new mortgage loan commitment from Bank at an annual rate of 6.75%. Over the term of the new loan, the interest expense would be $511,279 higher than with the original loan. To what equitable remedies, if any, is Buyer entitled? What defenses, if any, could Seller interpose? Discuss fully.
