β¦ Synopsis
The adsorption of formic acid was studied on smooth platinum in 1 N HClO, at 0.2 V as a function of time at different bulk concentrations of formic acid at 25". Conditions could be kept such that an appreciable amount of inte~ediates or side products were not formed. Small volumes of HCOOH were added rapidly to 1 N HCIOd at 0.2 V under vigorous nitrogen stirring. It is shown that the adsorbed species are HCOOH molecules in the present case and also under voltammetric conditions at a sweep of 30 mV/s.

Two reversible wavesare observed for the reduction of Ru(IV) on platinum electrodes. Each wave is the sum of two one-electron steps according to: 1st wllve Ru,(OH):: (IV)-Ru4(0H)$ (3,75)=Ru,(OH):+ (3.5) 2nd wave /wv-l Ru,(OH);+ (3,S)=Ru,(OH);+ (3.25)= Ru+(OH):+ (III) k, 4 stable Ru(II1) Potentials (
The oxidation of formic acid at a platinum electrode in 0.5 mol dm-j HsSO, was investigated by dc and cc methods. The oxidation rate of formic acid was approximately independent of the potential at potentials above about 0.35V vs. rhe, when the blocking effect of adsorbed carbon monoxide was compens
