Abstract
The influence of the H2S concentration on the charge required for oxidation of the adsorbed sulfur and on the nonstationary currents passing through the electrode was studied while hydrogen sulfide was introduced into the solution. At higher concentrations, more sulfur atoms are adsorbed on one platinum surface atom. Upon decreasing the concentration one atom of sulfur per one surface atom results and the number of sulfur atoms blocking two surface atoms starts growing gradually.
