Abstract
The present investigation deals with the polarographic behaviour of iodate ions in various aqueous mixtures of methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, iso-propanol, 1,2-propanediol, 1,3-propanediol, and glycerol at 30°C. 0.1M-NaOH was used as a base electrolyte. The half-wave potential ranges from 1.24 to 1.46 and the diffusion current decreases with increasing percentage of the solvent. The plots ofi d vs. $$\surd \bar h$$ andi d vs.c were linear and pass through origin for all the solvent mixtures, showing that the limiting current is diffusion controlled. The plots of logi/(id−i) vs.E d.e. were linear for all the aqueous organic solvent mixtures, but the value of slope suggested that the reductions are irreversible. The electrode kinetics was studied byKoutecky's method for irreversible electrode process.
