Question
49. The figure is an anodic scan or a quiescent solution cyclic
voltammetry experiment of a redox couple at a 1.0 mm
diameter platinum electrode at a scan rate of 100 mV/s.
What causes the decrease in current at potentials more
positive than +0.2 V?
Current, A
Scan Direction
-0.2
0.2
Potential, V
0.4
0.6
(A) Electron-transfer rates slow at more positive
potentials.
(B) All of the reduced species in solution have been
oxidized.
(C) Mass transport is limited by the rate of diffusion of
reduced species to the electrode surface.
(D) The oxidized species formed in the reaction produce
an insulating layer on the electrode surface.
