Fourier Analysis of AC Polarogaphy: Kinetic Parameters for Zn(II)-1 M NaClO4 and KCl Systems

The fundamental and second harmonic responses of the Zn(II)/Zn(Hg) electrode agreed with the theory with respect to the phase angle. The ekinetic parameters of the systems were: ks=(2.8±0.3)×10−3cm/s, α=0.30±0.05 in 1 M NaClO4 and ks=(3.3±0.3)×10−3 cm/s, α=0.27±0.03 in 1 M KCl.
