HYDRATES IN AQUEOUS SOLUTION. 

 TABLE 81. METHYL ALCOHOL Continued. 



ETHYL ALCOHOL. 



Results were obtained with ethyl alcohol that are of the same general 

 character as those given by methyl alcohol. The freezing-points of the 

 solutions of ethyl alcohol are, however, lower than those of methyl alcohol 

 of the same concentrations. The corrections for specific gravities are larger 

 for the ethyl alcohol, so that the amount of hydration shown by this sub- 

 stance is not very much greater than that shown by methyl alcohol. 



The data for ethyl alcohol are recorded in table 82, and the freezing- 

 point measurements are plotted in fig. 58. The magnitude of the hydra- 

 tion shown by ethyl alcohol is seen under " Hydrates," in table 82. There is, 

 of course, the possibility that ethyl alcohol undergoes some polymerization 

 in solution, and that the true hydration is greater than would be indicated 

 by these figures.
