Abstract

Summary The theory of faradaic rectification polarography is extended to systems of higher order stoichiometry. The couples Zn 2+ /Zn(Hg) in 0.5 M MgSO 4 and Cd 2+ /Cd(Hg) in 1 M KCl are studied with the aid of this technique in a wide potential range. The Zn 2+ /Zn reaction is interpreted as a multistep mechanism. The Cd 2+ /Cd reaction did not appear to be a simple linear reaction. Some higher order mechanisms are tested using the measurements.
