β¦ Synopsis
The etecectroreduction of Ni(lI) from acidic citrate above pH 1.5 and from tartrate above pH 7 is governed by the rate of a prior chemical step. Analysis of the dependence of the limiting current on pH and the concumation of the hydroxyacidby Koutecky's method leads to establishment of the stoicbiometry of the prior c&m&al steps. In acidic citrate the prior chmical step is the d' mociation of NiH&it+ * or the protor assisted disoeiation of NiHCit. In alkaline tartrate the prior chemical step is the hydrolytic conversion of _, 1 NiHTar-' to NiH,Tar. Ammonia also converts the elcctroinactive species NiTar-' in a prior chemical step to the elcctroactive mixed bis amohctartrate complex.
