The propagation of arsenous acid−iodate reaction fronts of different net stoichiometries in externally applied
dc electric fields is studied for a range of both electric field intensities and initial compositions of the reacting
mixture (represented by the stoichiometric factor S
0). Regions of three different types of net stoichiometry in
the parametric space ℰ/V vs S
0, where ℰ is the intensity of the applied electric field and V the reaction front
propagation velocity, are determined both experimentally and by analyzing a reaction−diffusion−migration
model that includes a realistic kinetic scheme of the reaction studied. Both agreement with and discrepancies
between the theoretical predictions and experimental findings are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
