The Polarographic Analysis of Palladium

Polarography is defined by Princeton University as "an electrochemical method of chemical analysis." Palladium is a white metal commonly found with platinum. Polarographic analysis of palladium involves measurements of current-voltage curves obtained when voltage is applied to two electrodes in palladium solution.
  1. 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. For a better understanding of current voltage curves as you graph results, review the site shown in this article's resources.
