Publisher's Synopsis
The book ""Laboratory Course in Electrochemistry"" by Oliver Patterson Watts was first published in 1914. It is a comprehensive guide to electrochemical experiments and laboratory techniques. The book is divided into two parts, the first part provides a theoretical background on electrochemistry, including electrochemical cells, electrolysis, and electrochemical thermodynamics. The second part of the book contains a series of laboratory experiments, each with detailed instructions and explanations of the underlying principles.The experiments covered in the book include the measurement of electrode potentials, determination of the Faraday constant, electrolysis of water, and the electroplating of metals. The book also covers more advanced topics such as the electrochemical behavior of corrosion and the electrochemical analysis of metals.The author, Oliver Patterson Watts, was a professor of chemistry at the University of Illinois and an expert in the field of electrochemistry. His book is a valuable resource for students and researchers in the field of electrochemistry, providing a thorough introduction to the subject and practical guidance on laboratory techniques. Despite being over a century old, the book remains relevant today and is still used as a reference by many in the field.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
