Analysis of an Unknown Reaction Mechanism

Species A was studied using cyclic voltammetry at a range of scan rates. The first 

The consumption of the product also accelerates the initial electron transfer reaction by Le Chateher s principle, thereby explaining the slight shift of the 

This can be demonstrated by dimensional analysis of the rate equations. Suppose  

Hence if the mechanism is EC2, the size of the back peak relative to the forward peak will vary with concentration this is not the case for an EC process.
