Abstract:
Problems in the theoretical description of the influence of the adsorption of dissolved species on the rates of electrode processes have been discussed. Present-day theories of the mechanism of the interaction between adsorbed species and ionic reagents have been used to develop a general statistical-mechanical approach to the quantitative examination of the macrokinetics of heterogeneous transformations complicated by the adsorption of ionic or dipolar components of the solution, including the adsorption of the reagents themselves. The bibliography contains 84 references.
