Ring-disc electrodes. Part 9.—Application to first-order kinetics

Abstract

Two ring-disc electrodes of different geometries have been used to study the kinetics of three previously measured reactions, the bromination of two anisoles and the V(V)+Fe(II) reaction. The rate constants are in reasonable agreement with those obtained from other methods thereby confirming the theory for the passage of an intermediate from the disc to the ring electrode when it is undergoing first-order decomposition.
