ADSORPTION FROM SOLUTION OF STEARIC ACID ON IRON EFFECT ON ELECTRODE POTENTIAL

摘要

Sorption from solution onto metal surfaces is of interest from the standpoint of fundamental surface chemistry and also from the more practical viewpoint of lubrication, corrosion inhibition, and catalysis. The effect of electrochemically inactive solutes on irreversible, steady state potentials is of interest from the standpoint of the fundamental characteristics of electrode processes as well as from the more practical viewpoint of corrosion reactions. There are numerous accounts of researches in which the adsorption and the electrochemical effects have been measured on the same material but in general has been in different physical form for the two kinds of experiments, e.g., powder and sheet respectively.
