✦ Synopsis


The oxygen-platinum electrode in alkaline solutions behaves like an oxygen-peroxide couple at relatively low peroxide concentrations.

The required Nernst dependence of the potential upon the peroxide and oxygen concentration is closely approximated by the empirical results, ie aE/a log [H,Oe] and aE/a log [O,] are -30 and +30 mV respectively. In addition the empirical standard potential is within + 10 and +24 mV of the theoretical value of 0.752 V(he).

A mixed-potential region roughly independent of peroxide concentration occurs in higher concentrations of peroxide. This region exhibits a dependence on the oxygen concentration in qualitative agreement with theoretical predictions. R&surn&-L'electrode platine-oxygi%e dans une solution alcaline se conduit comme une couple a oxygene-peroxyde dans les petites concentrations du peroxyde. La dependence requise du potentiel de Nemst sur la concentration du peroxyde et de l'oxyg&ne se rapproche etroitement par les r&hats: aE/a log [HPOB] et aE/a log [O,] sont -30 et +30 mV respectivement.

Aussi le potentiel empirique etalon se trouve Btre dam +lO et +24 mV de la valeur th&orique de 0.752 V(eh).

La region du potentiel melange a lieu dans les grosses concentrations du peroxyde qui est approximativement inddpendante de la concentration du peroxyde. Cette region montre une dependance sur la concentration de l'oxygene d'accord qualitatif avec les interpretations theoriques. Znsannnenfassnng-Die Platin-Sauerstoffelektrode zeigt in alkalischer Losung beinahe das gleiche Verhalten wie eine O,/H,O%-Elektrode bei relativ geringen Peroxydkonzentrationen. Die Abhangigkeit des Potentials von der Sauerstoff-bzw. Peroxydkonzentration erftillt die Nemst'sche Gleichung mit guter N&herung; aE/a log[H,O,l und aE/a log[O,l betragen -30 bzw. +30 mV. Das gemessene Standardpotential liegt inenrhalb von + 10 und +24 mV vom theoretischen Wert von 0,752 mV. Bei hiiherer Peroxydkonzentration tritt ein von von der Peroxydkonzentration praktisch unabhiingiges Mischpotentialgebiet auf.
