Synergistic effect of KI on the corrosion inhibition efficiency of 3-acetylpyridine phenylhydrazone (3APPH) on carbon steel (CS) in 0.5 M sulphuric acid solution has been investigated using gravimetric studies, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and potentiodynamic polarization studies. Gravimetric corrosion studies revealed that 3APPH showed moderate corrosion inhibition efficiency up to 8 h and beyond this period it showed corrosion accelerating behavior. This antagonistic effect of 3APPH is due to the hydrolysis of the molecule in acidic medium. A very high percentage of inhibition efficiency at 24 h was obtained on the addition of KI due to the synergistic effect of iodide ions. The adsorption of 3APPH and 3APPH
