POLAROGRAPHY IN NON-AQUEOUS SOLVENTS. Annual Report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4103971
Unsuccessful attempts to determine gallium polarographically using sulfuric acid are described. In other work a method for the coulometric determination of water in nonaqueous solvents is described in which water was determined with acetonitrile as the nonaqueous solvent for lithium perchlorate. A study of irreversible reduction of selected nitro compounds is also discussed in which a number of nitro compounds were reduced polarographically in solvents with dielectric constants from 10.9 to 182. The nitro compounds were selected to determine if there is a correlation between structure and measured values of the half-wave potential, the heterogeneous reaction rate constant, and the transfer coefficient. Results are tabulated. (J.R.D.)
