| Abstract: | A theory of the influence of anion‐induced adsorption of metal ions in pseudopolarography using the thin mercury film covered rotating disk electrode is developed. The model is developed assuming that the metal ion is forming several labile complexes with the ligand which is present in a great excess, and that only one complex species is adsorbed following a linear isotherm. The results obtained assuming steady‐state conditions are compared with the simulation of transient processes using Galerkin and finite difference methods. It is shown that the adsorption of metal complexes on the disk electrode surface does not prevent the determination of the stability constants. |
