Far-Uv Spectra of H and OH 1029 given amount of adsorbed alcohols on the mercury electrode. In more nearly perpendicular orientation, the projected area of normal aliphatic alcohols on the mercury electrode is about the same. Thus, the inhibition effect in this orientation is proportional to the amount of adsorbed alcohols on the mercury and not on the alcohol itself. The deviation of the inhibition effect from regularity in the medium concentration range is explained by some perpendicular orientation and some parallel. With increasing alcohol concentration, it is reasonable that perpendicular orientation predominates; therefore, the rate constants in the presence of the different alcohols become super-imposable on each other at a given relative concentration of the alcohol.
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.
