Platinum-silver

Dry chlorine reacts with most metals combustively depending on temperature alurninum, arsenic, gold, mercury, selenium, teUerium, and tin react with dry CI2 in gaseous or Hquid form at ordinary temperatures carbon steel ignites at about 250°C depending on the physical shape and titanium reacts violendy with dry chlorine. Wet chlorine is very reactive because of the hydrochloric acid and hypochlorous acid (see eq. 37). Metals stable to wet chlorine include platinum, silver, tantalum, and titanium. Tantalum is the most stable to both dry and wet chlorine. 

The impure copper from either process is refined electrolytically it is made into anodes and plated onto cathodes of pure copper. Other metals may be present in the impure copper and those with highly positive electrode potentials also are reduced. The rare metals—most notably, platinum, silver, and gold—obtained from the anode sludge are sold to recover much of the cost of the electricity used in the electrolysis. 

A metal is an electropositive element. There are over 70 metals in the earth s crust. Examples include copper, gold, iron, platinum, silver and tungsten. Chemically, in solution, a metal atom releases an electron to become a positive ion. In bulk metals are solids and tend to have high melting and boiling points (an exception is mercury). They are lustrous, relatively dense, malleable, ductile, cohesive and highly conductive to both electricity and heat. 

In this cell, the following independent phases must be considered platinum, silver, gaseous hydrogen, solid silver chloride electrolyte, and an aqueous solution of hydrogen chloride. In order to be able to determine the EMF of the cell, the leads must be made of the same material and thus, to simplify matters, a platinum lead must be connected to the silver electrode. It will be seen in the conclusion to this section that the electromotive force of a cell does not depend on the material from which the leads are made, so that the whole derivation could be carried out with different, e.g. copper, leads. In addition to Cl- and H30+ ions (further written as H+), the solution also contains Ag+ ions in a small concentration corresponding to a saturated solution of silver chloride in hydrochloric acid. Thus, the following scheme of the phases can be written (the parentheses enclose the species present in the given phase) ... 

The research journals are the primary place where research results are first published. The prices of compounds change rapidly, and are to be found in journals instead of books. The New York Times finance page lists a number of commonly traded metals (aluminum, antimony, copper, gold, iron, lead, mercury, platinum, silver, zinc), food (corn, soya, wheat, rice, sugar), fuels (fuel oil, gasoline, natural gas), and textile (cotton, wool). The Chemical Market Report is a weekly journal that lists the prices of many chemical substances in a supplement, which depend strongly on purity and intended use. 

Dialysis units provided highly efficient means for increasing selectivity in a dynamic system by placement in front of a lithium-selective electrode constructed by incorporating 14-crown-4 ether 3-dodecyl-3 -methyl-1,5,8,12-tetraoxacyclotetradecane into a PVC membrane that was in turn positioned in a microconduit circuit by deposition on platinum, silver or copper wires. The circuit was used to analyse undiluted blood serum samples by flow injection analysis with the aid of an on-line coupled dialysis membrane. For this purpose, a volume of 200 pL of sample was injected into a de-ionized water carrier (donor) stream and a 7 mM tetraborate buffer of pH 9.2 was... 

Sulfur dioxide oxidation. The first use of SEP to study catalytic processes was made by Vayenas and Saltsburg. Vayenas and Saltsburg studied sulfur dioxide oxidation over platinum, silver and gold electrodes.39 The oxygen activity...

The electrical conductivity was measured by W. H. Ross, who found that in all cases the conductivity of the salt soln. was increased with time, especially with the more dil. soln. This is due to the decomposition of the salts under the influence of the platinum-black of the electrodes with polished electrodes, the effect is considerably smaller. The base itself is oxidized even more rapidly than the salts. The soln. are in all cases decomposed by the platinum electrodes, and G. M. J. MacKay showed that tin does not decompose the soln. at all, while copper decomposes the soln. completely. The order in which the metals were found to decompose the soln. is tin, platinum, silver, nickel, mercury, and copper. The electrical conductivity of hydroxylamine, using tin electrodes, in terms of mercury at 18°, with v vols. of soln. per mol, is as follows ...

The method of the S research was described in [9,10]. A platinum-silver ribbons of 5 /mi thickness were a potential electrical probes to a sample. The measurements were performed as at the constant gradient of T, and also at the progressive reducing of one, when the heat supply was cut off ( regular thermal regime). As can be seen, the relative changes of S in the both cases are approximately the same the exhibited data agrees well with the results of S measurements, received formerly [9, 14].
