The double layer capacitance of a vitreous carbon clectrodc in a silver chloride melt has been measured as a function of potential at four different temperatures. The minimum capacitance is virtually constant from 475 to 75O'C; it is relatively high -48 /tF'cm'. possibly the result of the polarisabi

β¦ Synopsis
An experimental technique for pohtrographic studies with dropping electrodes at 1000Β°C in chloride melts was developed. Liquid silver and a gold-bismuth alloy were used as electrode materials for studying the reduction of Mn ' +, Ag+ and Cu+ ions in molten KCI. Diffusion limited currents were observed for these ions but the haffwave wtentials could not be determined because ofcorrosion reactions ofthe liquid metal electrode with the melt.*
