A polarographic cell system with a novel temperature-controlled reference electrode for the determination of kinetic parameters of electrode reactions.
An improved experimental arrangement for the determination of kinetic data relating to polarographic reductions is described. The significant feature is the constant-temperature reference electrode; its construction and use in this context are described. A comparison is made of the more realistic results obtained by these means, with those obtained with a more conventional cell where the temperature of the reference electrode is varied with that of the working solution.
