A silver electrode prepared by electrolytic deposition on a platinum wire was oxidized anodically in alkaline solution at constant cd. The impedance change and the potential change after opening the circuit in the course of anodic oxidation were observed and analysed. In the anodic oxidation, crysta

β¦ Synopsis
The anodic oxidation of hydroquinone in the presence of sulfite was investigated by chronoamperometry at a rotating gold electrode and chronopotentiometry at a stationary gold electrode. The experiments show that sulfite is strongly adsorbed on the electrode inhibiting the hydroquinone oxidation, and at the same time is consumed by sulfonation of the anodic reaction product, p-benzoquinone. The resulting effects can be explained by the respective rates of both processes, depending on the experimental conditions (rotational speed, pH, concentration ratio of reactants).

Ag,O and AgO formed by potentiostatic oxidation of silver in O.lN KOH have been chemically analysed for the mean valency of silver ion. The anodic oxide formation proceeds in two stages and the silver ion in the oxide changes from Ag+ to Ag2+ at a transition potential. The reduction of AgO at consta
The oxidation of hydroquinone in acetonitrile takes place accompanied by the formation of two electron oxidation products as the first observable intermediates. In the presence of small amounts of added acid in acetonitrile the only observable product by rapid electrochemical techniques is monoproto
