ResumoThe charge-transfer resistance of the hydroquinone (QH2), quinone (Q) mercury redox system has been determined in its dependence on the concentration of the redox components. Additionally the adsorption-behaviour at the equilibrium potential had been investigated. The results of the resistance and of the adsorption measurements can be explained with the following mechanism for the electrode process: the third reaction being the rate determining step. On the basis of this mechanism the inhibiting effects of several inhibitors are discussed.
