β¦ Synopsis
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 compensated and the rate retardation at high surface coverages was avoided. The faradaic impedance study showed that the rate determining step was the adsorption of formic acid molecules at the above potentials.

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 adde
This paper deals with the electrocatalytic oxidation of propargyl alcohol (PA) at a platinum electrode in aqueous acid medium. During prolonged electrolyzes, the transformation is found to be highly selective towards the production of propargyl aldehyde (PAL). The effects on the selectivity of kinet
