And lastly, what effect does specific adsorption have on the pzc? 765
The answer is hinted at in the data that we saw earlier…

… now, an adsorbing anion is added and thus fixed negative charge is 771
added to the solution side of the interface… this new qS is matched by
an equal and opposite qM on the electrode side…

• What is new?
The kinetics of an electron-transfer reaction (kET) are dependent
on the driving force for the overall reaction (i.e. ΔG0 (ΔE0, E0cell))

Rudy asked: For an electron-transfer event, how does one satisfy the
Franck–Condon principle and the conservation of energy?
• Franck–Condon principle: Nuclei are fixed during electron-transfer between
orbitals (IUPAC Gold Book); Born–Oppenheimer approximation is relevant
