Abstract
THIS volume, the second part of the section on electrochemistry in the Wien-Harms “Handbook”, well maintains the standard of thoroughness of earlier volumes. Drucker writes competently on electromotive force in cells with liquid electrolytes, without, however, making much attempt to describe the atomic or electrical mechanisms involved, except in the liquid portion of the system, or the relationship between the affinity of the metals for electrons and their electromotive powers. The classical electrochemistry of all the usual types of cells is well and clearly treated. Tubandt contributes a short section on cells with solid electrolytes.
