Abstract
Ordinary water, preferably distilled water is a very poor electrolyte. It contains a very low concentration H+ and OH- ions and a large number of undisociated water molecules. Organic salts like C10H14 N2Na2O8.2H2O, C10H14 N2Na2O8.2H2O, behave as an intermediate between strong and weak electrolytes i.e. the current conduction is less than strong electrolytes but more than weak electrolytes. If they are electrolyzed using metal electrodes like copper, aluminium, iron e.t.c. colored solutions are obtained at first. When electrolyzed for a considerable amount of time (it depends on the amount of water, concentration of the salt e.t.c.) precipitates are formed which resemble metal hydroxides in appearance. But their distinction from metal hydroxides can be easily seen by reacting the precipitate with Ba(OH)2.8H2O (the solution must be heated). Ordinary metal hydroxides do not react while the said product turns white. It is mainly due to complex formation. In this paper we deal with electrolysis of C10H14 N2Na2O8.2H2O, C10H14 N2Na2O8.2H2O, ( C6H5)2NH (though it is very slightly soluble in H2O), using Cu, Fe, Sn, Al, electrodes and their interaction with heat and NO3- ion from a strong electrolyte (e.g. Ca(NO3)2.2H2O).
