✦ Synopsis

The electrochemical oxidation of formaldehyde has been studied by cyclic voltammetry on gold and silver rotating disc electrodes varying the sweep rate, the angular velocity, formaldehyde concentration and pH of the supporting electrolyte. The Tafel parameters and reaction orders as well as the rate constants have been determined. A reaction path is proposed which involves the release and oxidation of the first hydrogen atom under an interaction of formaldehyde molecule with the metal surface and with the OH--ion, followed by a non-electrochemical reaction or a second charge transfer reaction, depending upon the electrode potential.

A study of the electrochemical oxidation of silver in chromate solutions, and the subsequent reduction of the silver chromate formed is described. In the absence of any chromate, only silver dissolution and deposition are observed. In solutions containing 1 x lo-' M chromate, a shoulder correspondin

Up to three types of oxide are formed during anodic polarization of gold. The first formed oxides (oxides I and II. surface oxides, inner oxides) can be selectively electrochemically reduced and reformed in the presence of the last formed oxide (oxide III, bulk oxide, outer oxide). It is shown that
