Abstract
Problems were discussed which arise in the development of electrochemi cal coulometers used as timers having a dissolving metal anode as the element defining time elapsed. This time is counted in terms of dissol ution of a cylindrical metal rod following Faraday's law. Attention is focused on electrochemical dissolution of the end of a rod with insul ating walls, on the influence of electrode size, natural convection, e lectrolyte composition, and temperature.
