Abstract
The effects of working-electrode potential on the rate of a controlled-potential electrolysis and on the quantity of electricity that eventually accumulates are discussed. In particular, it is proven that electrolysis at any potential where an appreciable current flows on a totally irreversible wave must proceed to virtual completion, and experimental confirmation of this prediction is given for the reduction of hydrogen ion on mercury electrodes.
