The electrochemical behavior of water has been InvestigatedIn an ambient-temperature molten salt, aluminum chlorlde-Nn -butylpyridinium chloride. It was found that throughout the entire range of melt composition, water undergoes a chemical reaction to generate HCI, which can be electrochemlcally reduced at a platinum electrode. By use of rotating platinum disk experiments, a calibration curve was obtained In the basic melt. This calibration curve was found to be linear up to a water concentration of 50 mM.
