Abstract
The exchange reaction between zinc metal and zinc ions in solution was studied by means of radioactive zinc-65. Polycrystalline zinc and bi-crystals of zinc were used under conditions where the radioactive material was incorporated either in the solid or the liquid phase. Strain-free clean surfaces were obtained and autoradiographs taken. The results of the experiments using bi-crystals were interpreted on the basis that a local cell action sets up an electrochemical potential between liquid and solid at the beginning of the reaction. Exchange was found to take place in both directions, but the reaction did not follow a simple logarithmic law.
