Abstract

The electrochemical adsorption of benzene and toluene on a mercury electrode was investigated from different aqueous background electrolyte solutions. The experimental techniques employed were capillary electrometer and impedance bridge. The interfacial tension data obtained from perchloric acid solutions were employed for fitting to the Frumkin equations and parameters of adsorption were obtained. The anomalous behavior of capacity at anodic polarization appears to be associated with specific interaction between anion adsorption and organic solute adsorption; anodic capacity peaks are absent in the presence of perchlorate and iodide ions but not in the presence of sulfate and chloride ions.
