33. 0= -0.360 - 0.059.1 × pH. To reduce the surface oxide, the tip potential must be held below -0.48 V (SCE) in the case of an electrolyte of pH ∼ 2.
34. In addition to the reduction of Pd ions, Pd may further react with, hydrogen ions to form palladium hydride. However, the current involved is significantly smaller than that for plating.
