Abstract
Anodic dissolution of a spherical electrode in acid solution is analyzed. An equation derived implicitly describes the dependence of the limiting current of anodic metal dissolution on the acid concentration. The consideration is exemplified by silver anodic dissolution in nitric acid solution. The dependence of the limiting current of silver anodic dissolution on the acid concentration is numerically calculated by using tabulated data on the Ag solubility in AgNO3.
