Abstract
It has been shown that in oxalate solutions the Ru(III)/Ru(II) electrode reaction on the dropping mercury electrode (dme) proceeds under equilibrium conditions with a supporting electrolyte excess, but becomes quasi-equilibrium and, further on, completely irreversible with the gradual decrease in the base electrolyte concentration. These changes in the reversibility of the reaction are in accord with the general concepts of electrochemical kinetics, as it follows from a moment's consideration including the use of the Brönsted rule to describe the double layer structural influence on the kinetics of such quasi-equilibrium reactions. The participation of base electrolyte cations in the elementary act of the studied reaction seems to be most probable in the scope of the accepted outersphere treatment.
