Abstract
As early as 1853 Hittorf (‘Pogg. Ann.,' vol. 89, 181, 1853), discussing the results of his experiments, emphasised the fact, that a more detailed study of the movements of the ions during electrolysis would result in an increased knowledge of the constitution of salts in solution. He himself, in a research extending over a number of years, ( ibid ., 89, 177, 1853; 98, 1, 1856; 106, 337 and 513, 1859,) determined the ratio of the velocities of the two ions for a large number of salts, and the series of measurements has been further extended by later investigators. (For the original literature on transport number determination, see Bein, 'Zeitschrift fur Phys. Chemie,' vol. 27, 1 (1898)).
