Preferred Abstract (Original): 
The inhibition of ethyl 2-(4-(2-ethoxy-2-oxoethyl)-2-p-tolylquinoxalin-1(4H)-yl) acetate (Q3) on the corrosion of carbon steel in 1.0 M HCl at 308-343 K was studied by gravimetric method. Results obtained show that Q3 acts as inhibitor for carbon steel in hydrochloric solution. The inhibition efficiency was found to increase with increase in Q3 but decreased with temperature, which is suggestive of physical adsorption mechanism although chemisorption may play a part. The adsorption of Q3 onto the carbon steel surface was found to follow the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Both kinetic parameters (activation energy, pre-exponential factor, enthalpy of activation and entropy of activation) and thermodynamics of adsorption (enthalpy of adsorption, entropy of adsorption and Gibbs free energy) were calculated and discussed.
