Excerpt from The Theory and Practice of Electrolytic Methods of AnalysisSince this date the employment of electrolysis both for analytical and technical purposes has extended greatly. While the most important facts - cg. The more or less good or rapid deposition of metals from different solutions, the variations in the current required, the separation of different elements or groups of elements from the same solution according to the current intensity or voltage, the in¿uence of temperature, &c., - were long known, there was lacking, until a few years ago, a theory of electrolysis which explained clearly these phenomena.Similarly 'there was no theory by means of which it was possible to explain clearly the changes in the energy creating couple. It is true that at the commencement of this century a violent strife arose between the supporters of the contact theory and the supporters of the chemical theory' of the origin of the energy in the voltaic cell. This strife continued into the third quarter of the century without the supporters of either the one theory or the other being enabled to give a clear explanation of the facts. Such an explanation has only become possible within the last few years, by aid of the theory of osmotic pressure, or osmosis.'About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
