We examined the electroreduction of Bi (III) ions in chlorate (VII) solutions under varied protonation conditions of the depolariser using voltammetric and impedance methods. The results of the kinetic parameter correlation lead to the statement that the changes in the amount of chloric (VII) acid against the amount of its sodium salt in the supporting electrolytes of the low water activity have a significant influence on the rate of Bi (III) ion electroreduction. The increase of the concentration of chloric acid sodium salt, as well as the chloric (VII) acid alone within the particular concentration of the supporting electrolyte, inhibits the process of Bi (III) ion electroreduction. It should be associated with the reorganisation of the structure of the double layer connected with the slow dehydration inhibited by ClO 4− ions. The standard rate constants ks values with the increase of the chlorate (VII) concentrations for all the solutions examined of chlorates (VII) confirms the catalytic influence of the decrease of water activity on the process of Bi (III) ion electroreduction. The multistage process is confirmed by the non-rectilinear 1nkf = f(E) dependences.
