Abstract

According to a theoretical analysis in which the anodic stripping of tellurium in methylene chloride, containing chloride ions, was treated as an electrochemical adsorption reaction the second step of the oxidation reaction, which corresponds to the first anodic wave, is rate determining and is preceded by a quasi-reversible reaction, while the oxidation reaction which corresponds to the second anodic wave is irreversible, with the first step being rate determining. It is shown that the first anodic stripping wave is due to the oxidation of tellurium atoms which are on the surface of the tellurium electrode, while the second wave is due to the oxidation of tellurium atoms, which are situated on inner surfaces of the metal before the first wave is recorded.
