Abstract

When Arrhenius presented his theory of electrolytic dissociation approximately fifty years ago, little did he realize that this theory would prove to be one of the corner stones in the epoch-making developments in chemistry since that time.

Electrochemistry, although still in early development, has risen so greatly in importance that it is now a necessary process in industrial chemistry. It can be estimated fairly that about one-seventh of all manufactured goods are prepared by electrochemical processes directly or indirectly; i.e., in the manufacture of the finished article or in the process of preparing the material.

Interest, herein, is centered on the effects of the electrolyte in carrying the current between two electrodes. Many texts have been written which deal with electrochemistry in general and with the reactions taking place at the respective poles. Study of concentration changes between the electrodes seems to have been limited.
