A reversible nitrate electrode is described consisting of a bristle of platinum wires through which a stream of NO2 and 0 2 is maintained. The behaviour of the nitrate electrode is tested with respect to stability and reversibility against a silver electrode in molten silver nitrate. The standard E M F at 600" K was found to be E" = 0.176 V against a calculated value of E" = 0.175 V.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
