Abstract:
The reduction of Pb(II) has been investigated in presence of
different potassium salts as supporting electrolytes at a
Hanging Mercury Drop Electrode (HMDE). The correlation of
cathodic peak current and anodic peak current, and the
difference in cathodic peak potentials and anodic peak
potentials with varying voltage scan rates indicates that the
reduction of Pb(II) is reversible.

Potassium Sulphate)
