For the amalgam the value is ~ 60 mV not 9 mV as shown earlier 1. The discrepancy is due to the lack of reversible behaviour of the Zn(Hg)/ZnO electrodes.

β¦ Synopsis
The electrochemical behaviour of three A1-Zn alloys (1 -5 -10% Zn) in 0.5 N NaC1 solutions with a pH of 2 and of 8.2, under controlled fluid dynamic conditions (rotating disks at 500 -2500 r.p.m.) at 20 -40 -60Β°C has been studied.
Stationary potentiostatic anodic polarisation curves have been performed. S.E.M. and EDAX surface analysis have been obtained on anodically polarised specimens under coulostatic conditions.
The morphology and mechanisms of anodic dissolution have been discussed as a function of anodic overpotential, charge density and zinc content of the studied alloys.
Evans polarisation diagrams of the galvanic cells obtained coupling the Aluminium alloys either with Platinum or with Nickel as well as with stainless steel have been performed in sea water both under stagnant and stirred conditions.

The anodic dissolution of pure iron in acetonitrile-water solutions with varying concentrations of acetonitrile and varying pH has been investigated. Potentiodynamic measurements with different sweep rates have been done. Acetonitrile was shown to act as an interface inhibitor for the dissolution of
Iron microelectrodes have been used to study the dissolution kinetics in acidic perchlorate solutions, in the absence and in the presence of acetonitrile. The results compare well with previous measurements on a conventional sized rotating disc electrode. The advantages of using microelectrodes are
