Abstract

Under conditions of standard temperature and pressure, it has been found that no reaction occurs between silver and oxygen, nor between silver and ozone. When the temperature of the silver is raised, however, it is oxidized by ozone but not by oxygen. Upon raising the products of the reaction to a still higher temperature, they decompose into silver and ordinary oxygen. By measuring the amount of oxygen thus produced, it would be possible to calculate the amount of ozone involved originally.
