Looks like there are a few people who need more chemistry classes, or a good Google search, I suppose. Can we do Google searches before we answer?

Hi to all,

The correct answer to this question is

Galvanic reaction

BTW a reminder to all not to give away the correct answer until 24 hours after the question has been posted

Regards

Gerry
