Abstract

It was suggested in a preceding communication1 that protonic conduction
may be operative in borax. Coulometric measurements have so far been used twice as evidence for such a mechanism of electrical conductivity. In the case of cetyl alcohol Kakiuchi et al.2 measured the pressure of the gas evolved on the cathode and verified spectroscopically that it was H 2• Decroly et al.8 measured the gas volumetrically (in a capillary) on the cathodic side of an ice crystal.
