Steady-state polarization curves and electrode impedances were measured during the dissolution of iron in 1M Na2SO~ solution acidified by the addition of 1M H2SO4. These experiments were performed within very wide pH (0-5), current density (up to 0.1 A 9 cm-2), and frequency (10:-3-105 Hz) ranges. Three time constants, in addition to the high-frequency capacitive loop attributed to the double layer capacity and the charge transfer resistance, were observed before the onset of the passivation process. The experimental results were quantitatively interpreted by computer simulation on the basis of a reaction model including three dissolution paths. At low current densities, the dissolution path, which can be related to the consecutive mechanism, controls the overall rate. At higher current densities, a self-catalytic path, implying a ferrous intermediate, determines the overall current. Another selfcatalytic path, with monovalent iron, plays an important role in the electrode impedance and the prepassivation process although its contribution to the current is not prevalent at any pH.Bonhoeffer and co-workers strove to establish the mechanism of iron dissolution in acidic medium and proposed, for the first time, reaction models implying reaction intermediate species (1-4). According to Heusler, the dissolution of iron takes place in two steps coupled by monovalent iron (model I)(4)
