Because of its close relationship to water and because of its wide use as an oxidizing agent the study of hydrogen peroxide is one of particularinterest. The properties of the peroxide and of its aqueous solutions have been under investigation in these laboratories for some time.The work to be described herein will deal quite fully with the electrical conductivity of nitric acid, and somewhat briefly with that of sulphuricacid in aqueous hydrogen peroxide. These electrolytes represent the strong, inorganic acids and will be compared with organic acids and inorganicsalts whose conductivity in aqueous peroxide has already been investigated.Such a study is also of interest from the viewpoint of the nitric acid. Almost no work has been done on its conductivity in any medium other thanwater. [...]
