Artificial intelligence (AI) is used
to quantitatively analyze
the voltammetry of the reduction of acetic acid in aqueous solution
generating thermodynamic and kinetic data. Specifically, the variation
of the steady-state current for the reduction of protons at a platinum
microelectrode as a function of the bulk concentration of acetic acid
is recorded and analyzed giving data in close agreement with independent
measurements, provided the AI is trained with accurate and precise
knowledge of diffusion coefficients of acetic acid, acetate ions,
and H
