LEHRBUCH DER ELEKTROCHEMIE

This book establishes the fundamental principles of electrochemistry, clearly explaining concepts such as energy, current, electromotive force, and resistance. It details how the electrical energy needed for a reaction is a product of electromotive force and the quantity of electric charge, with a focus on the close relationship between electrical and chemical energy. The author provides insight into the history of electrochemistry, tracing its development from the initial discovery of electrical phenomena to the establishment of Ohm's Law and Faraday's Laws of Electrolysis. The book also examines the practical applications of electrochemistry in various industries, including the production of calcium carbide, silicon carbide, and aluminum. The author's clear and engaging writing style makes this book an invaluable resource for students of electrochemistry and a fascinating read for anyone interested in the history and applications of this field.
