What Is Polarographic Maxima?

[pō¦lar·ə¦graf·ik ′mak·sə·məm] (analytical chemistry) A deceptively high voltage buildup on an electrode during polarographic analysis of an electrolyte; caused by a reduction or oxidation process at the electrode.

What is polarographic technique?

Polarography is a voltammetric technique in which chemical species (ions or molecules) undergo oxidation (lose electrons) or reduction (gain electrons) at the surface of a dropping mercury electrode (DME) at an applied potential.

What is used as Maxima suppressor in polarography?

polarographic wave of dimethyl sulfoxide

Dimethyl sulfoxide produces good sigmoid anodic waves in presence of 0.1 M HCl as supporting electrolytes and suitable concentration of fuchsin, methyl red, thymol blue as maxima suppressors.
