Abstract
The electrode kinetics of electroreduction of vanadium(III), cadmium(II), plumbite ion, Mn(NH 3 ) x 2+ and nitrobenzene free radical as well as oxidation of the manganese amalgam has been studied at mercury electrodes in a mixture of water with propanol, isopropanol and tert-butanol. With the exception of manganese(II) electroreduction the standard rate constants for other systems at first largely decrease with the increase of the organic component concentration and later slowly increase when the content of alcohol in the mixture increases. These changes of the rate constants were qualitatively explained. The influence of the couble-layer structure on the electrode kinetics in such systems was also studied. The measured formal potentials were compared with those calculated on the basis of the modified Born equation and the differences were explained in terms of selective hydration of ions and liquid junction potential.
