The ammonium salt of Nitrosophenylhydroxylamine "called cupferron", is a well-known analytical reagent, which precipitates a great number of metal ions in acid medium. The electrode reduction velocities of cupferron at droping mercury electrode in various supporting electrolytes were measured by Delahay method. The free energy of activation and transfer coefficient for a given electrode reaction are computed from the corresponding current-voltage curve. The number of electrons involved in the rate determining step of the reduction of cupferron is calculated for solutions of various pH.
