Abstract:
In thin layer sonoelectrochemistry (TLS), ultrasound induces constructive interference in a thin fluid layer to increase interfacial rates. In TLS experiments, slow interfacial rates are increased during and after sonication. No cavitation or heating is observed in the fluid. A previously developed model quantifies how solvent properties impact TLS rates. Voltammetry for Fe3+ and benzoquinone in tetrahydrofuran, dimethylformamide, water, ethanol, and 2-propanol is undertaken with and without sonication. Rate enhancements vary with solvent properties, as quantitatively predicted by the model. The data vet the TLS model for nonaqueous solvents.

Solubility
A solution is a homogeneous mixture composed of a solvent, the major component, and a solute, the minor component. The physical state of a solution—solid, liquid, or gas—is typically the same as that of the solvent. Solute concentrations are often described with qualitative terms such as dilute (of relatively low concentration) and concentrated (of relatively high concentration).
In a solution, the solute particles (molecules,...
