Diffusion coefficients for Cu(II), Dcu , were determined at 25~ in 0.51M H2SO4 over the concentration range 0.4 mM 1.0M CuSO4. The reported values of Dcu represent average values for the physical properties over the diffusion layer, and for the diffusing Cu(II) species, which consist of Cu ++ ions and Cu++SO4 = ion pairs. Thus, Dcu represents an effective value that is suitable for substitution into the various mass-transfer equations derived by assuming constant properties.

ABSTRACTAt current densities large in magnitude and also large compared to the exchange current density, a conducting disk in an insulating plane has a very nonuniform current distribution across the surface. The current distribution near the center is governed predominantly by ohmic effects, but near the edge, electrode kinetics become important. This paper describes the treatment of the current and potential distributions on the electrode, especially near the edge of the electrode where
