THE TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENT OF THE DIFFUSION CONSTANT OF COPPER IN AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS OF SULPHURIC ACID CONTAINING COPPER SULPHATE
This paper presents values of the temperature coefficient of the diffusion constant of copper in aqueous solutions of sulphuric acid containing copper sulphate, for the range 10° to 25 °C. and four acid concentrations. The work is based on the Mathematical Theory of the Changes of Concentration at the Electrode, formulated by Rosebrugh and Miller. Evidence is presented supporting the choice of a new point on the oscillograph potential curve for the measurement of t. The values of K, thus obtained, at 18 °C. are in agreement with those of Cole and Gordon, who used the method of Northrop and Anson. The values of K at 10 °C. calculated from those at 25 °C. by means of viscosity data are in agreement with the values obtained by experiment.
