Electrodes
Two electrodes are used for the polarographic analysis of palladium. They are used to run current through the solution. The first electrode is a reference electrode that acts as a constant during the analysis. The other electrode is an indicator electrode. Its potential changes during test.
Results
The polarography of palladium was studied by Bal Krishan Puri and Ashok Kumar. Defined, irreversible waves were obtained. The diffusion current constants for palladium was found to be 4.19, and this remained constant over wide concentration ranges.
Communicating Your Own Results
When analyzing palladium, carefully record your activity using both the first and second electrodes. Results of your polarograhic analysis of palladium and the current voltage curves can be communicated via a line graph or as a scientific essay.
