1) Suppose that cyclic voltammetry is carried out for one-electron reduction of a species, O, with a diffusion coefficient of 10–5 cm2 /s using a 20 µm-radius spherical electrode. Sketch a cyclic  voltammogram with its unique features at the scan rate of 10 V/s. Identify an appropriate equation from the textbook (Electrochemical methods) and use the equation to explain quantitatively why you think these features are  observed. Assume that the reaction is reversible.
