โฆ Synopsis
Voltammetric studies of hydrogen gas evolution from I M H,SO, and chloride gas evolution from 2SM NaCI/O.l M HCI both at platinised platinum electrodes show that simultaneous ultrasonic irradiation produces enhanced rates of gas evolution largely due to the removal from the electrode surface of adherent product species. Nitrogen-agitation is less efficient at promoting this product removal. In contrast, oxygen gas evolution from the same electrode in I M H,SO, not only fails to be enhanced by ultrasound in these conditions, but the electrode continues to be deactivated by oxidative processes on successive scans despite sonication. Thus sonoelectrochemistry probes mechanistic distinction between these reaction systems.

By considering published data on the kinetics of the oxygen electrode at a platinum surface it is suggested that the electrode process follows the same path in both acid and alkaline solution. This path is identified, and attention is drawn to certain restrictions on the use of diagnostic criteria.
