Abstract
Chemical literature has of late contained several references to the influence of adsorbed hydrogen on silica on chemical changes taking place in silica vessels. At the same time the fact that silica, at moderately high temperatures, takes up very large quantities of hydrogen is stressed, and it is assumed that this hydrogen is adsorbed, that is to say, exists as a film on the gas-glass interface. However, the following experiments seem to indicate that this is only a part of the story.
