Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents an investigation into the anomalous behavior of copper as an anode in chloride solutions. The author's experiments show that copper can dissolve with a valency ranging from 1 to 2, influenced by the solution's hydrochloric acid concentration and the electrolytic process's variables. Central to the book's argument is the assumption that copper dissolves at the electrode's boundary in a way that maintains a chemical equilibrium between cuprous and cupric salts in the hydrochloric acid solution. To test this hypothesis, the author examines the chemical equilibrium and determines the concentrations at the electrode during electrolysis. The book's findings suggest that the equilibrium between copper, cupric, and cuprous salts is dynamic and influenced by a complex interplay of factors. The author's insights advance our understanding of the electrochemical behavior of copper and its implications for industrial applications and further research.
