Abstract

Abstract The title subject has been studied using single pulse and chronopotentiometric polarization measurements on the Zn(Hg)/Zn(II) electrode and equilibrium measurements on the same and the Zn/Zn(II) electrode, mainly in 2 M NH 4 Cl with 0–0.3 M NH 3 . At low ammonia concentrations, the Zn(Hg)/Zn(II) reactions are found to occur in two consecutive charge-transfer steps with Zn(I) as intermediate, and with little or no participation of ammonia. At higher ammonia concentrations, however, nearly symmetric transfer by divalent zinc ion (α=0.5 and n =2) to and from diammine species appears to be the predominant charge-transfer step.
