Abstract
The reaction of Np(VII) with Ag(I) was studied by spectrophotometry with the aim to evaluate the potential of the Np(VII)/(VI) couple in acid solutions. In perchloric acid solutions with pH 1.5 and 3.05, the potential E is 1.93 and 1.85 V, respectively. Extrapolation to a solution with pH 0 gives 2.20 ± 0.01 V. A close value (E = 2.22 V) is obtained by extrapolating the potential from a 1 M NaOH solution (pH 13.83, E = 0.582 or 0.587 V) to acid solutions (pH 0).
