Kinetics of the reduction of Mn at the dropping mercury electrode in aqueous-dioxan mixtures

Reduction of Mn²⁺ has been studied in aqueous dioxan mixtures at a dropping mercury electrode. The reduction has been found to be quasi-reversible and hence kinetic parameters (K_s and ) have been calculated by Gellings' method. The K_s values are found to be in the order of 10^?3 cm/s. The effect of halide ions has also been studied in aqueous dioxan solvent mixtures using sodium chloride and sodium bromide as base electrolytes in place of sodium perchlorate. The effect of temperature has also been studied.
