Study of chlorine evolution on the Pt electrode in nitromethane solution
Abstract
Electrochemical chlorination of non-saturated organic compounds in the
aqueous and non-aqueous solvents depends on the mechanism of halogen formation.
The mechanism of chloride ion discharge has been investigated in
nitromethane on the rotating Pt disc electrode using Ag/AgClO₄ system in
the galvanostatic measurement as the reference electrode.
For the quasi-equilibrium process the constant k₂ and the constant of
electron K₂ transmission have been determined for the recombination process
occuring at 0.1 V.
