Oxidations involving silver. I. Kinetics of the anodic oxidation of silver in alkaline electrolytes

Abstract
The kinetics of the electrochemical oxidation of silver to Ag2O in NaOH have been studied at different temperatures and hydroxyl ion concentrations. The enthalpy of activation was found to be ~ 5 kcal/mole. The kinetics of oxidation of Ag2O to AgO are discussed.
