“…By the use of a silver-plated platinum-gauze anode the chlorides, bromides, and iodides of the alkaline earths and the alkali metals have been determined (58,65,102,109,153,155,167) and similarly chlorine in hydrochloric acid and bromine in hydrobromic acid (61, 155), although Gooch and Read report consistently low results in their electrolysis of hydrochloric acid (62). In addition to the halides, several other anions including phosphate, ferrocyanide, ferricyanide, thiocyanate, and carbonate have been determined with the silver anode (65,155) and it has been suggested that an anode coated with calcium hydroxide would make possible the determination of fluoride (102,155). Ammonium chloride, bromide, and thiocyanate were electrolyzed in the double cell and both the cation and anion assessed (109, 155).…”
