Abstract

The effect of electrolyzing concentrated chloride solutions as far as the evolution of chlorine is the main theme of this paper. Experimental determination of the amount of chlorine evolved in the gas phase and chlorine dissolved in solution is achieved using the iodometry and ascorbinometric titrations. Correlations are developed for the chlorine content as a function of the chloride concentration of the saline water. The hydrogen to chlorine ratio is determined as a criteria for the cell performance.
