Referee's report by James Charles Philip, on two papers 'The photo-chemistry of potassium permanganate. Part I.—Application of the potentiometer to the study of photo-chemical change' and 'The photo-chemistry of potassium permanganate.-Part II. On the energetics of the photo-decomposition of potassium permanganate' by Eric Keightley Rideal and Ronald George Wreyford Norrish

Reference number: RR/28/7

Date: 13 September 1922

Description

Sectional Committee: Chemistry

Recommended for publication in the 'Proceedings of the Royal Society of London'. The paper is not of enough interest for the Philosophical Transactions. Suggests the paper be reduced to 25 pages for the Proceedings, for example by omitting some of the figures and tables, and removing unnecessary detail.
