Synopsis
Excerpt from Physical Review, Vol. 21: A Journal of Experimental and Theoretical Physics; Conducted With the Co-Operation of the American Physical Society
An electric current of 2 ma. Was now passed from one of the electrodos E (figs. I and 2) as cathode and immediately the spec trum of hydrogen appeared in the cathode glow.l The gas pres sure also increased continuously with the time the current was maintained. After running about three quarters of an hour the rate Of evolution of gas became very small. This extra gas evolved (for silver about 2 c.c. At atmospheric pressure) could be absorbed by the na,k discharge in about an hour.2 If at the end Of this time a current was passed through the tube as before the gas pres sure began to increase as at first, but dropped within a very short time to a low rate of evolution. If now at this point a new metal were used as cathode there took place as usual a continuous in crease in gas pressure - the rate of evolution Of gas being the same for all fresh cathodes. This experiment repeated at various times and with different metals showed beyond doubt that the source of gas was solely in the cathode.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a comprehensive survey of research into hydrogen evolution from the cathode and its absorption by the anode in various gases. It begins with the author's experimental study of the cathode fall of various metals in helium, which revealed that hydrogen was consistently present in the cathode glow, regardless of how carefully the gas had been purified. This observation served as the impetus for the investigation detailed in this book. The author's experiments demonstrate that hydrogen is liberated from the cathode in all gases, and that the anode absorbs hydrogen at the same rate that the cathode evolves it. The implications of these findings are explored, and the author concludes that the results strongly support the hypothesis that hydrogen exists in the atomic state in metals. This book is a valuable resource for researchers in the field of physical chemistry, and its insights into the behavior of hydrogen in gases have important implications for our understanding of a wide range of phenomena, from the operation of fuel cells to the formation of stars.
