During electrolysis of an acid chloride solution, atomic chlorine is taken up by a graphite anode. After switching off the current the evolution of molecular chlorine continues. This phenomenon we call residual gas evolution (r.g.e.) It is established that the molecular chlorine is formed according

A graphite anode evolving chlorine from a chloride solution is slowly oxidized to CO and CO,. This oxidation causes a change in the characteristics of the electrode-an ageing, comprising a change of the nature of the graphite surface and an increase of the surface area. It appears that a new graphi
The results given in Part I of this series are analysed quantitatively. From the resistance change of a platinum film electrode during cathodic and anodic polarization in lo-' N sulphuric acid solutions, the following results emerge. (1) The rate constant and activation energy of the desorptive co
