Abstract

Summary A theoretical analysis is presented of the effect of ohmic potential loss on results obtained with reversible electrode reactions in d.c. polarography. Simple correction of observed half-wave potentials by subtracting iR is reasonably accurate but not exact for small corrections (up to 5–10 mV). More accurate corrections for small values can be obtained by multiplying iR by a potential-dependent coefficient. For large ohmic losses higher order corrective terms are required.
