Abstract
The kinematic theory of crystal dissolution predicts the shape of a dissolving crystal as a function of time, and suggests a convenient technique for measuring reaction rate as a function of crystallographic orientation. It has been applied to a study of dislocation etch pit growth on (111) surfaces of copper undergoing anodic dissolution in solutions containing HCl and HBr. The dissolution shapes of these pits at successive times have been determined from interference photomicrographs taken as the reaction progressed. The evolutions of the shapes have been shown to be in accord with predictions of the theory, and reaction rates as functions of orientations near (111) have been determined for various conditions of dissolution.
