Thermo-Electric Action with Dual Conduction of Electricity

It is well known that the degree of rapidity with which a metal immersed in an acid, alkaline, or saline liquid is corroded varies considerably with the temperature, and that the speed of corrosion usually increases with the heat; also a few experiments have been published (Gmelin’s 'Handbook of Chemistry,’ vol. i. p. 375 ) showing that changes of electrical state occur in metals under such circumstances; but a further examination of the relations of the temperature and chemical change to the electrical state has not, that I am aware, yet been made.

The author states that the object of this research was “to ascertain the thermo-electric action of a series of metals in particular liquids, and to examine the relations of the thermo-electric to the chemico-electric behaviour of metals in electrolytes, and to ordinary chemical corrosion, and the source of the voltaic current.” With this object, the thermo-electric tension series, also the chemico-electric tension series, at 60° and 160° F. of thirteen metals in solutions of twenty-two different salts, alkalies, and acids, were experimentally found, and are shown in two tables. The same thermo- and chemico-electric series were also determined in solutions of different strengths of the same substances, and are also exhibited in two tables; and the effects of difference of strength of liquid upon the orders of those series are inferred from the results.
