Activation Energy of Direct-Current Electrical Conductivity of Ice with HF and NH$_{3}$ Added

The activation energies of ice with varying amounts of impurities added were investigated with sintered platinum electrodes. For both types of impurities the activation energy was minimum at a concentration of 10$^{-4}$M. The experimental arrangement and possible reasons for the existence of a minim...

Description
Summary:The activation energies of ice with varying amounts of impurities added were investigated with sintered platinum electrodes. For both types of impurities the activation energy was minimum at a concentration of 10$^{-4}$M. The experimental arrangement and possible reasons for the existence of a minimum in activation energy are discussed.
