Electrodics: More Fundamentals

  • Chapter
Volume 2 Modern Electrochemistry

Abstract

The analysis of electrodic reactions has been restricted so far to one-step, one-electron charge-transfer reactions. In practice, however, few reactions consist of only one step. For example, after the electronation of H3O+ ions,

$$M\left( e \right) + H_3 O^ + \to MH + H_2 O$$

one has a hydrogen atom adsorbed on the metal. The reaction does not terminate at this point. The adsorbed hydrogen atoms go on to combine and form molecular hydrogen, and this hydrogen is evolved thus:

$$2MH \to 2M + H_2 \uparrow$$
