The polarographic behaviour and determination of Mo(VI) in hypophosphorous acid solutions of concentrations varying from 0.1 to 5.0 mol l−1andT=25±0.1 °C have been investigated. It was shown that reduction of MoO42−takes place along a single or two waves depending upon the acid concentration. Microcoulometric experiments have been performed at the limiting region of the different waves obtained at different acid concentrations. A scheme for the mechanism of reduction occuring at theDMEhas been deduced. A method for analytical determination of Mo(VI) on both the micro- and macro-scales in hypophosphorous acid solutions has been reported. Analysis of a binary mixture Mo(VI)/Cd(II) and a tertiary mixture Mo(VI)/Cd(II)/Zn(II) in mol l−1hypophosphorous acid has been inves
