The polarography characteristic of uranyl ion in chromotropic acid solution was investigated systematically over the pH range 2.0 to 10.0 with ligand concentrations varying from 0.010 M to 0.200 M. At pH 5.5, the one‐electron reversible reduction waves were obtained. The temperature coefficient of the half‐wave potential was obtained to be −0.32 mV per degree and the mean value of id/h1/2 is 0.340 ± 0.003. The electrode reaction is UO2(HA)24− + c = UO2(HA)2− + HA3−
Where pH 5.5, an irreversible and diffusion‐controlled wave was obtained. The diffusion coefficients and kinetic parameters of complex species were determined by deducing instantaneous equations.
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.
