Abstract

The anodic dissolution of Pb has been studied in 1N solutions of KNO 3, NH 4C 2H 3O 2, and Pb(C 2H 3O 2) 2 at 25 and 50°C. The Pb removed from the electrode was found to be in excess of that calculated using Faraday's law assuming the normal valence of + 2. A black film on the electrode surface was identified as a mixture of Pb and PbO and its formation is explained as a result of “disintegration”. On the basis of polarization curves and other observed phenomena, a dissolution mechanism has been proposed. © 1968 Pergamon Press.
