Title | Unpublished manuscript, 'A method of detecting dissolved chemical compounds and their combining proportions' by G [George] Gore |
Date | 1888 |
Description | The method described and illustrated by examples in this research is an application of the voltaic balance to the measurement of the amount of voltaic energy of electrolytes (see AP/66/2), and is based upon the idea that 'when substances chemically combine they lose some of their power of exciting a voltaic couple, and the amount of this power can be measured by means of the voltaic balance. Gore describes his methodology and shares observations.
Annotations in pencil throughout. Includes one diagram of Gore's experimental equipment.
