Cyclic Voltammetric Study of Pb (II) in Different Sodium Salts as Supporting Electrolytes

Author(s): Prashant Mehta and R. S. Sindal

The reduction of Pb (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 Pb (II) is reversible.
