Abstract
The literature data concerning electrochemical reactions of the type: M n+ + ne − → M(Hg) in mixed solvents are analysed in terms of competition of water, organic solvent and the activated complex for the place on the electrode surface. Model calculations show how the Gibbs energy of the reactant solvation and adsorption of the organic solvent modify the shape of the dependence of the standard rate constant vs. mixed solvent composition.
