The catalytic decomposition of hydrogen peroxide by iron salts

Haber, Fritz, Weiss, Joseph·1934·Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A - Mathematical and Physical Sciences

Abstract

[Note by Dr. O. H. Wansbrough-Jones—Shortly before Professor Haber died, he gave the manuscript of this paper to Professor Sir William Pope. The final revision for the press had not been made and in its original from the paper was not suitable for publication in an English journal. Considerable alterations in the wording have accordingly been made; but since, Professor Haber had considered carefully how he wished to present the results embodied in it, the form and sequence of the paper remain unmodified. The paper is, further, a sequel to some communications in German periodicals which may not be familiar to its readers. In an attempt to make it more quickly understandable, while keeping it as far as possible as it was left by Professor Haber, the following summary has been added.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • OH· is generally formed as a product of Fenton reactions involving free iron or copper ions and hydrogen peroxide or from the reaction of hydrogen peroxide with superoxide (Haber-Weiss reaction).

    “In this context, OH· is generally formed as a product of Fenton reactions involving free iron or copper ions (Fe2+; Cu+) and hydrogen peroxide (Eq. 26) (281, 986) or from the reaction of hydrogen peroxide with superoxide (Haber–Weiss reaction) (Eq. 27) (394).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
