Abstract

The heat effects of electrochemical processes have been measured calorimetrically to find those areas where such measurements might prove useful. The determination of reaction heat is one such area. The of the reaction was measured. The results indicate that the heat of formation of given in the literature is in error by at least 12 kcal. The heat of the reaction was determined as a function of the cyanide to copper ratio of the electrolyte. These data confirm the existence of the ion.
