Excerpt from Electro-Analysis
Many chemical compounds are decomposed when exposed to the action of an electric current. Such a decomposition is called Electrolysis. The substance decomposed is termed an electrolyte. The products of the decomposition are the anions and cations, or those (i) which separate at the anode, the positive electrode or pole and (2) those separating at the cathode, the negative electrode or pole - P) of the source of the electric energy.
This behavior of compounds has become of great service to the analyst, inasmuch as it has enabled him to effect the isolation of metals from their solutions, and by carefully studying the electrolytic behavior of salts it has been possible for him to bring about quantitative determinations and separations.
This method of analysis - analysis by electrolysis - has been designated electro - chemical analysis or, better, Electro analysis. It is especially inviting, Since it permits of clean, accurate and rapid determinations where the ordinary meth ods yield unsatisfactory results. This statement will at once be confirmed on recalling the gravimetric methods usually employed in the estimation of copper, mercury, cadmium bismuth, tin, or almost any metal.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents an early overview of a key element in 19th century chemistry: the reduction of chemical compounds using electrified water, termed electrolysis. The author presents the history of electrolysis, from its inception to the date of publication. The text includes practical guidance on the process, and is especially valuable for its attention to the behaviors of various metals when subjected to electrolysis. Of particular interest is the author's insight into quantitative separations and qualitative detection. The final section of the book is devoted to a theoretical consideration of the author's observations and experiments, which lay the groundwork for future study in the field. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
