Study of Zn (II) in Different Sodium Salts as Supporting Electrolytes using Cyclic Voltammetric Technique

Prashant Mehta and R. S. Sinda

Abstract

The reduction of Zn (II) has been investigated in presence of different sodium salts as supporting electrolytes at a Hanging Mercury Drop Electrode (HMDE) using cyclic voltammetry. The correlation of cathodic peak current and anodic peak current, and the difference in cathodic peak potentials and anodic peak potentials with varying voltage scan rates indicates that the reduction of Zn (II) is reversible.
