Distinguishing between an electrochemically reversible and irreversible electrode reaction can be done using cyclic voltammetry.

Describe how you can use cyclic voltammetry to obtain the diffusion coefficient Do of reactant O. Describe what CV experiments are required and specifically how the data would be analyzed.

Expert Solution

An electrochemically reversible reaction in which oxidation, as well as reduction reaction both, takes place. While in irreversible electrode reaction only one process takes place either reduction or oxidation reaction, which can be easily differentiated by using cyclic voltammetry.

You can use cyclic voltammetry to obtain the diffusion coefficient which is given as below.

Distinguishing between an electrochemically reversible and irreversible electrode reaction can be done using cyclic voltammetry. Describe clearly and in detail how you can convert a fully reversible O/R electrochemical reaction into a irreversible or quasireversible reaction by varying parameters used in the CV experiment. Explain the reasoning behind your answer, and show using graphs how you would confirm that you have converted the reversible reaction into an irreversible one.
