Show j New Galvanic Cell. A German electrical journal describes de-scribes a new galvanic, cell which "inhales" "in-hales" the oxygen of the air. The cell contains in a saturated ammonium chloride solution a zinc rod and a porous por-ous pot provided with a semi-porous membrane. Within the porous vessel is piacetl a retort carbon, and the vessel ves-sel contains a special depolarizing liquid. This depolarizing liquid constitutes con-stitutes a sort of chemical sponge, which, when in the air. absorbs the oxygen thereof, and gives it off again in the process of depoplarization. The depoplarizer consists of ammonium cuprate. |
