✦ Synopsis
The reaction route of the hydrogen electrode reaction on Ni, Rh, Au, and Pt at the reversible potential was investigated through the exchange reaction between deuterium and light water. Various reaction routes involving hydrogen adatom H(a) and adsorbed hydrogen molecule-ion H;(a) as the reaction intermediates were considered. In order to single out the correct reaction route, these routes were examined, without assuming u priori the existence of a single rate-determining step, for satisfactory interprctationofthe isotopic compositionofthe hydrogen gas during the exchange reaction. It is concluded that the reaction route consists of two consecutive steps, H2 t 2 H(a) and H(a) + B + H l B + e, where B represents H,O or OH-.
