Reading edition
Experimentally the relations for an "oxygen electrode" are much more complicated than for a hydrogen electrode, as a result, apparently, of the oxidation of the metal (e.g. platinum), with the aid of which the electrode is prepared. For a critical review and summary of the more recent results on this point, vide Schoch, J. phys. Chem., 14, 665 (1910). For the purposes of this book it will be sufficient to limit our discussion to the behavior of an ideal oxygen electrode.
