The Influence of Solution pH on the Kinetics of Resorcinol Electrooxidation (Degradation) on Polycrystalline Platinum

Electrochemical oxidation of resorcinol on a polycrystalline platinum electrode was investigated in five different solutions, namely 0.5 and 0.1 M H<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub>, 0.5 M Na<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4,</sub> 0.5 and 0.1 M NaOH. The rates of electro...
