Anodes
Has anyone heard of using carbides in per\chlorate cells. I would like to know what sort of electrical properties carbides have. And also what about
molybdenum what is it used for.

Molybdenum is used mainly for crucibles and boats for high temperature work.
As far as using carbides goes, which metal carbides? Some aren't stable in oxidizing conditions, some are.
Neither flask nor beaker.

If this is going to be about perchlorate cells, this thread is going to be locked.
One shouldn't accept or resort to the mutilation of science to appease the mentally impaired.

Perchlorate
Vulture, I'll redirect Squall's inquiry as Perchlorate Cells has been beaten to death.
Squall, go here: http://www.sciencemadness.org/talk/viewthread.php?tid=2465&a...
And, YES, I agree the thread should be LOCKED.

I was just wondering what sort of electrical properties Tungsten Carbide exhibits and thanks for the info on molybdenum i just had a piece and was
wondering what it was used for.

Tungsten carbide used as an anode in concentrated HCl oxidises to precipitate tungstic acid. The cobalt binder dissolves to form cobalt chloride.
There are also a mess of soluble heteropoly tungstic acids formed.
