Abstract

Abstract The polarographic behaviour of UO2(II) has been studied in different supporting electrolytes of varying concentrations. On applying various criteria for ascertaining the irreversible nature of the polarographic reduction, it has been found that the reduction at both the steps of UO2(II) at d.m.e. is totally irreversible. Koutecky's treatment has been applied to calculate the rate constant at various potentials along the course of a polarogram in the presence of different concentrations of the supporting electrolytes. The values of the kinetic parameters (αna and κf,h0) have been calculated at different concentrations of the supporting electrolytes. A quantitative interpretation in terms of the values of the kinetic parameters is proposed to explain the influence of concentration and nature of the supporting electrolytes.
