The electroreduction kinetics of silver sulfite complexes was investigated by rotation disk electrode (RDE) voltammetry, chronopotentiometry (CP) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The stability constants of the silver sulfite complexes, p beta(2) = 7.9 and p beta(3) = 8.53 were determined. For the series of isopotential solutions investigated, a reaction order of 0.67 was obtained, the diffusion coefficient of the silver complexes varies in the range of 3.36 x 10(-6) to 5.54 x 10(-6) cm(2) s(-1) and the silver degree of complexation (2.31-2.67) were found. The analysis of the RDE, CP data and EIS spectra indicate the existence of a slow stage of the silver electrocrystallization in the region of the equilibrium potential and at stronger polarization of the electrode at initial time moments.
