An analyst wants to find out the active surface of his electrode before conducting his analyzes. To do this, he carried out a series of measurements by cyclic voltammetry (CV) using a 1 mM solution of K4Fe(CN)6 dissolved in 0.1M NaCl. He recorded the anodic peak intensity (ip) corresponding to the oxidation of Fe(II) to Fe(III) as a function of the scanning speed (v) of the CV (see table). What is the active surface of the electrode? Data: Fe diffusion coefficient (CN)64-, D = 6.67x10-6 cm2/s Randles-Sevcik equation ip = (2,69x105)n3/2ACD1/2v1/2
