Abstract
Conclusions
The experiments show that water soluble acid, manifestly HCl, is formed from KC1 and fatty acid, whenever an electromotive effect of concentration arises at the pha& boundary. It seems likely that a reaction oi the kind described is also a factor in the formation of free HC1 in the glands of the stomach.
The theory of phase boundary potentials, referred to above, cannot be set forth in detail in this preliminary communication.
