ON THE OXIDATION OF FERROUS HYDROXIDE BY AIR.—SUPPLEMENT

(1) An interpretation on the real meaning of the observed oxidation velocity of ferrous hydroxide under the conditions of the author’s experiments was given to prevent misunderstanding of the author’s papers. (2) The reason, why the experimental conditions, under which the author’s measurements were carried out, were adopted, was described. (3) It was discussed that the oxidation velocity of ferrous hydroxide, observed by A. Krause under quite different conditions, will have quite a different meaning as that, observed by the author. The difference of the real meaning of the observed reaction velocity, caused by the difference of the experimental conditions, will explain why the effect of temperature, which was negligible under the author’s conditions, was found by A. Krause to be very great.
