Play all audios:

ABSTRACT PROF. H. E. ARMSTRONG has long insisted on the view that chemical action a species of reversed electrolysis and that an ectrolyte, generally water in terrestrial systams, is a _sine


qua non_ for chemical action. Whether we should regard modifications in the ‘molecular’ weights of a liquid, alteration in the ‘constants’ of the Van der Waal's equation of state for a


vapour or gas, change in the surface tension or vapour pressure of a liquid, all due to association or dissociation, as caused by the operation of physical or chemical change, might be


debated by the purist. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution ACCESS OPTIONS Access through your institution
