Levich constant (original) (raw)

A Levich constant (B) is often used in order to simplify the Levich equation. Furthermore, B is readily extracted from rotating disk electrode experimental data. The B can be defined as: 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)
