POLAROGRAPHIC BEHAVIOUR OF METALLIC COMPLEXES WITH PYROPHOSPHATE. Part II.Lead and Cadmium

R S SUBRAHMANYA

Abstract


1. The polarographic behaviour of lead and cadmium pyrophosphate complexes has been studied at various pH values.
2. The phenomenon of split-wave is quite marked in the case of cadmium and totally absent in lead.
3. The reduction process is irreversible with lead complexes above pH 7 and below pH 7 the process becomes progressively more reversible.The reduction of cadmium complexes follows a similar behaviour.
4. Polarographic measurements have indicated that the formula of the lead complex is Pb (P2O7)~, In the case of cadmium it has not been possible to arrive at any formula due to the complicated nature of the waves.
