The kinetics of the reaction between CeIV and Hg2+2 in 1 mol dm-3 HClO4 have been studied at 25 deg C in the presence of a large rotating platinum disc catalyst.When the disc was cathodically preconditioned, the catalytic rate was first order in cerium (IV) and zero order in mercury (I).It was also directly proportional to the square root of the rotation speed and exhibited a low activation energy, which showed that the reaction was mass-transport controlled.There was excellent agreement between the catalytic rate and the limiting current density for CeIV reduction (converted to rate units by Faraday's law), as would be expected from an electrochemical model of the catalysis.Diffusion coefficients of CeIV and Hg2+2 in 1 mol dm-3 HClO4 were determined from the limiting current measurements.Cyclic voltammetric sweeps after the catalytic runs revealed the presence of underpotential-deposited mercury layers on the platinum surface, and the number of mercury monolayers was evaluated.In contrast, when the platinum disc was anodically preconditioned, the catalytic rate was smaller, of fractional order in both reactants, and independent of rotation speed.The catalysis was therefore surface-controlled.Kinetic and cyclic voltammetric experiments pointed to the presence of two types of adsorbed mercury species on the oxidised platinum surface which strongly influenced the catalysis.Exposure of the oxidised disc to a solution of Hg2+2 ions before the addition of CeIV resulted in an increased catalytic rate because the mercury (I) ions had partly reduced the oxidised surface.
