Abstract
PARTS 9 and 13 of vols. 11–12 of “Tables Annuelles de Constants et Données Numeriqués” cover the period 1931–36. In Part 9, dealing with electromotive forces, H. S. Harned gives a convenient summary of data on concentration cells without liquid junctions, which will be very useful to workers in this field. Among the items of particular interest are Harned's own work on the thermodynamic dissociation constants of weak electrolytes, that of L. F. Nims on ammo-acids, and several examples of ionic equilibria in heavy water. There is also a table of recently determined standard electrode potentials. This section should be used in conjunction with Part 3, in which the activity coefficients, free energies, etc., derived from the measurements, are given. G. Åkerlöf gives a summary of oxidation-reduction potentials, including the considerable number of organic systems, some of biological interest, investigated during the period.
