Abstract

A model of electrode reaction preceded by a first-order chemical reaction under chronoamperometric conditions on spherical electrodes has been developed. A general solution applying to all values of equilibrium constants, including very small ones, was obtained by numerical integration. Well-known analytical solutions for steady-state and near-steady-state conditions and for pure kinetic currents were shown to be special cases of the general solution. The conditions for their application are given.
