This book was released on 1968 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brief summaries of several lines of work under way are given. The review describes briefly new equipment and facilities acquired during the year. A major effort devoted to acidity measurements has led to new pH standards and new reference solutions for pD in heavy water. Solvent effects on acid-base phenomena in mixed solvents have shed some light on the factors, including solvent structure, governing ion-solvent interactions. A start was made on the study of ion-specific electrodes and the establishment of standard scales for ionic activity. Equilibrium data for hydrochloric acid in 92.41 wt. percent ethanol and for the ionization of carbonic acid in heavy water were obtained. The establishment of conductance standards for oceanographic research was begun. The survey concludes with lists of the members of the Section staff, publications and manuscripts produced during the year, talks given by the staff, and committee assignments. (Author).
