The influence of cation adsorption on the rate of the electroreduction and formation of cations as well as on the electroreduction of anions is discussed. The effects observed are correlated with changes of the 41-potentia1, but whereas in reactions with the participation of cations average values of the+ l-potential can be used, in the anion electroreduction the dependence oL the 41-potential on the distance between the reacting anion and the cation which is its next neighbour must be taken into account. The electroreduction of the PtC42-anion which has a flat configuration shows a much smaller sensitivity towards cations than the electroreduction of the S2082-and Fe (CN) $-anions. Measurements of reaction rates and differential capacities in the presence of Cs+ ons indicate a certain specific adsorbability of the Cs+ ion. If both the cation and the anion are surface-active, that effect of the adsorption on reaction rates which prevails at a definite potential is still enhanced.Herasymenko and Slendyk 1 observed that the presence of cations in solution influences the hydrogen overvoltage on mercury, which rises with the increase of the cation concentration. They found that the effectiveness of the cations increases with increasing charge and for univalent cations in the order Lif< Na+< K+< Rb+. The largest rise of the overvoltage was observed in the presence of La3+ and Th4+. The author made an attempt2 to correlate these phenomena with the distribution of the potential within the electric double layer. Let c be the bulk concentration of the reacting particles, n their charge and $1 the potential at the point of the surface layer where the centre of the charge of the reacting particle is situated. The surface concentration of the reacting particle is proportional to c exp (-$1 nF/RT); and the velocity of the electron transfer from the electrode surface to the reacting particle, ie the current density i, is equal to
