Abstract: The mixed catalytic rate(νmix)of the reaction between I3- and Ti3+ions on reduced Pt surface has been calculated through the electrochemical study on electrode reactions of I3-/I-and Ti3+/Ti4+. When the mixed potential(Emix)lies in the limiting current region, νmix is independent of Ti3+concentration and is first order to. νmix is also proportional to the square root of the rotating speed of electrode. There is only small differences in νmix as the H+ concentration changes. Results obtained by electrochemistry agree with the results measured by kinetic method. The results of this heterogeneous catalysis in solution have been predicted and explained by pure electrochemistry.
