Abstract

Summary The theory is given of chronocoulometric relaxations in systems in which the reactive couple undergo quasi-reversible charge-transfer, first order homogeneous reaction to electroactive forms and adsorption. As in simpler cases extrapolation of Q vs. t 1/2 curves from long times to give Q t =0 provides a convenient method of data analysis. The extrapolated Q is simply the sum of the Q 's which would be observed if each complication were present alone. Kinetic complications inevitably produce negative extrapolated Q 's. Variation of Q with potential is diagnostic for different complications.
