Abstract
The problem of an adequate statistical mechanical approach to the transition from the description of the elementary act of an electrochemical process occurring in the presence of electrochemically inactive specifically adsorbed species to the description of the resulting heterogeneous process for which the rate is measured in experiments is discussed. The analysis of the electrode kinetics is given for the particular case where the irreversible electron transfer reaction at the metal/solution takes place in the presence of a fixed discrete layer of specifically adsorbed dipole molecules. The theoretical results are compared with the available experimental data on the influence of adsorbed organic substances on the electrochemical reaction rate.
