The Action of Silver Salts on Solution of Ammonium Persulphate

Abstract

Although the action of potassium persulphate on silver nitrate solution was one of the first persulphate reactions observed (vol. xviii. p. 64), I had not until lately paid any special attention to the behaviour of the ammonium salt in this respect. It appears, however, that in the latter case there are additional actions of great interest, not possible with the potassium salt. A general description of these will be given now, but there are still some points deserving of further investigation.
