“…These results are in disagreement with the observations reported later by Chevalet et al [3], who were able to obtain a polarographic wave due to the first reduction step O2/O~ alone by adding the surfactant a-quinoline which evidently inhibits the subsequent processes. Their conclusion is that the protonation of 02 is a heterogeneous process occurring at the electrode surface.…”

“…This is likely to confirm the speculations of other authors, e.g. of Chevalet et al [3]. These authors were able to study the first step separately by d.c. polarography, after addition of a-quinoline which evidently prevents the second step from proceeding.…”

“…This is in remarkable agreement with the value estimated by Jacq and Bloch [ 1], from otherwise quite different considerations. The value determined by Chevalet et al [3], ca. 1.5 X 10 -3 cm s -1, is much lower.…”
“…Chevalet et al [3] report the value E ° = --355 mV vs. SCE. With E ° = --168 mV vs. SCE, ksh = 0.035 cm s -1 and a~l = 0.5 we obtain ksh I = 1.34 cm s -1.…”
The reduction of oxygen to hydrogen peroxide at a dropping mercury electrode in an aqueous solution of 1 M KNO3 + 0.04 M KOH (pH = 12.35) has been studied by means of impedance measurements as a function of frequency and d.c. potential. The reaction appears to be nearly reversible in the dc sense, but quasi-reversible in the ac sense. The impedance data obey the Randles' equivalent circuit with the following apparent values for the kinetic parameters: standard heterogeneous rate constant ksah = 0.035 cm s -1 and cathodic transfer coefficient ~c = 0.22. The results are interpreted in terms of a two-step charge transfer mechanism with the step O2 + e ~ O~ being rate-determining.

“…Chevalet et al [8] give a complete potential -pH diagram for the oxidation states 0: -Oil -O;", from pH -1 to pH t 18. At high pH values the system 0: -0;' has a potential equalling that calculated, E,(O,/O,), independent of pH.…”
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.
