An Electrochemical Determination Of The Thermodynamic Properties Of Silver And Mercury Sulfides, Arthur G. Cole Sep 1949

An Electrochemical Determination Of The Thermodynamic Properties Of Silver And Mercury Sulfides, Arthur G. Cole

Theses and Dissertations

The problem consists of measuring accurately the free energy of formation, heat of formation, entropy, and solubility product constant of silver and mercury sulfides, and is a part of a larger study extending to many other metal sulfides. The confusion now existing in the chemical literature amply justifies a study of this nature. The thermodynamic properties of several important metal sulfides have never been measured, and the only values available for them are estimates. Determinations of the properties of many other metal sulfides have been carried out, but the results given by different authors often differ widely.
