II. Double Layer Corrections in the Evaluation of Rate and Equilibrium Constants of Fast Homogeneous Reactions, Coupled with Electrode Reactions. ‐ Some Potentialities of the Galvanostatic Method

Abstract

AbstractThe influence of the double layer on the overall rate of electrochemical processes controlled by a prior volume chemical reaction is discussed in terms of the ratio between the equivalent thicknesses of the reaction layer and of the diffuse part of the double layer. The influence of potential and ionic strength on the polarographic waves of Cd(CN)4− and Ni++ has been interpreted by the proposed theory.
