Abstract

Abstract The chemical reactions in the silent electric discharge were studied when hydrogen reacted on the following inorganic solid substances. (1) Potassium sulphite. Reaction products:—hydrogen sulphide potassium hydroxide. (2) Cadmium bromide. Reaction products:—metallic cadmium and hydrogen bromide. (3) Potassium perchlorate. Reaction products:—potassium chloride and water. (4) Mercuric cyanide. Reaction products:—metallic mercury and hydrogen cyanide. (5) Mercuric thiocyanate. Reaction products:—mercuric sulphide, metallic mercury, hydrogen cyanide, hydrogen sulphide, and thiocyanic acid. (6) Silver cyanide. Reaction products:—metallic silver and hydrogen cyanide. (7) Sodium thiocyanate. Reaction products:—sodium sulphide, hydrogen sulphide, and hydrogen cyanide. (8) Lead thiocyanate. Reaction products:—lead sulphide, hydrogen sulphide, and hydrogen cyanide. (9) Potassium cyanide. It was proved that potassium cyanide was hardly reduced under the conditions of this experiment. The writer wishes to express his appreciation of a grant from the Imperial Academy towards the expenses of this research.
