Abstract
The electrochemical kinetic parameters of the D.M.E./Zn(II) electrode reaction in aqueous solutions containing perchlorate, nitrate, chloride and bromide ions were measured at different temperatures (5-50 °C) by the modified square-wave polarographic technique. The Arrhenius activation parameters and thermodynamic quantities of the electrode reaction were determined from the temperature dependence of the rate constant and conditional potential, respectively. Empirical correlations were observed between some pairs of kinetic and thermodynamic quantities.
