Abstract
Voltagrams of L-ascorbic acid on a gold electrode show the existence of two oxidation waves but no reduction wave. An analysis of the I—E curves was carried out together with the Tafel slopes and reaction orders. The products from the first oxidation were identified by paper chromatography. A scheme is proposed for the overall reaction of the first oxidation together with a reaction mechanism at potentials corresponding to the foot of the wave.
