4. In order to confirm my results~ and at the same time to obtain some more pure ethane for further experiments, I repeated the preparation of ethane from sodium acetate. The anode, consisting of two pieces of platinum foil (joint surface 150 cm.~), was Flaced inside a good-sized porous pot, care being taken to obtain a high current-density*. A current of about 15 amperes was used. Special precaution was required to prevent the indiarubber stopper which closed the porous pot from being burnt by the heat developed. A glass tube, passing through the stopper~ was bent into a U-shape outside and contained some mercury. The contact with the platinum foil was made by platinmn wires soldered to the foil. The gas was washed in sodium hydrate, fuming sulphurie-~ eid, and potash~ and collected in a gasometer which was filled with a solution of potash. This gasometer consisted of two carboys, closed with indiarubber stoppers and connected by a wide glass tube. The yield of ethane was very high, very little oxygen being formed. The oxygen was moreover absorbed by introducing a piece of phosphorus into the gaso-meter.* Marray~ Journal Chem. Soc. lxi. pp. 10-36.
