Determination of the Value of the Faraday With a Silver-Perchloric Acid Coulometer

摘要

An accurate value of the faraday has been determined by the electrolytic dissolution of metallic silver in aqueous solutions of perchloric acid. Standards of electric current, mass, and time as maintained by the National Bureau of Standards were utilized in the determinations. The electric current was measured in terms of the standards of electromotive force and electrical resistance. Silver of high purity, freed from oxygen, was used.
