The effect of hydrogen pressure on the hydrogen overvoltage on bright, active rhodium was determined. The data indicated that the overvoltage mechanism was controlled by the 2H, ds~ H~ step. Kinetic parameters for the mechanism were quantitatively determined including the surface coverage with adsorbed atomic hydrogen. A Langmuir adsorption isotherm resulted from the relationship between surface coverage with atomic hydrogen at equilibrium and the partial pressure of molecular hydrogen above the solution.It has been shown in a previous study of the effect of hydrogen pressure on the overvoltage on bright platinum (1) that pressure effects can be used to determine kinetic parameters and to establish a reasonable reaction mechanism. In the investigation reported here pressure effects on hydrogen formation and ionization reactions on bright rhodium were studied. By using this metal in rapidly stirred, strong acid solution, diffusion effects were virtually eliminated, and it was possible to make a quantitative determination of the kinetic parameters.
