Abstract
Combination of hydrogen and oxygen in the Geissler discharge, low-voltage arc and electrodeless discharge.—It was noted that combination ceased to be explosive in equivalent volumes of the two gases at pressures below 3 cm. Logarithmic decrease in pressure was obtained in equivalent volumes in the Geissler discharge for constant current, whereas excess oxygen increased and excess hydrogen decreased the rate of combination, a similar change in rate having been noted by Lind in his alpha-ray experiments.Keywords
