ABSTRACT The subject of Sir Harold Hartley's Friday evening discourse at the Royal Institution on March 4 was “Michael Faraday and Electrochemistry”. From 1832 until 1834 Faraday was


mainly occupied with electrochemical researches. He first showed that amounts of electricity which produced the same effect on a galvanometer also liberated the same amount of iodine when


passed through a solution of potassium iodide. He then went on to systematic investigation of the amounts of different elements which are liberated when the same current is passed through a


series of solutions or fused substances, and established the two fundamental laws of electrolysis which still stand Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of
