Summary

  1. 1.

    Passivation can occur in an activating solution only after the composition of the solution at the electrode has been changed.

  2. 2.

    A theoretical interpretation is given of the kinetic equation obtained experimentally for the dissolution of zinc in alkali.

  3. 3.

    Theoretical considerations as to the kinetics of dissolution and passivation of a metal have been used to derive an equation giving the quantity of electricity required for anode passivation of a metal as a function of the concentration of the solution, which agrees with experiment.
