Levich constant
From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
A Levich constant (B) is often used in order to simplify the Levich equation.[1] Furthermore, B is readily extracted from rotating disk electrode experimental data.
The B can be defined as:[2]
where
- n is the number of moles of electrons transferred in the half reaction (number)
- F is the Faraday constant (C/mol)
- A is the electrode area (cm2)
- D is the diffusion coefficient (see Fick's law of diffusion) (cm2/s)
- v is the kinematic viscosity (cm2/s)
- C is the analyte concentration (mol/cm3)
