The study explores the most active and optimum effect of Ficus thonningii bark extract as corrosion inhibitor in 1M HCl medium on a mild steel using the Response surface methodology (RSM). The operation variables considered were temperature and concentration as inputs and corrosion rate (output) on mild steel inhibited with extracts of Ficus thonningii bark. A linear model developed by applying response surface methodology showed that extract concentration and temperature affect and interacts with the corrosion rate of mild steel exposed to 1M HCl solution. The predictive model equation of corrosion rate for Ficus thonningii bark extract was developed. The predictive optimum corrosion rate of 31.02082 x 10-3 mm/yr was obtained from RSM modelling for the experimental design with 1.0g/dm Ficus thonningii bark extract concentration at 298K. More experimentation was carried out to validate the predicted result and the validated optimum value was 31.0218 x 10-3 mm/yr. This value was in agreement with the predictive value generated by the regression model. The model can be used to predict the corrosion rates of mild steels exposed to varying temperatures in an acidic medium, at various using different concentration of the extract as inhibitors.
