ENERGY CHANGES INVOLVED IN DILUTION OF AMALGAMS. 



This diagram illustrates in a striking manner the most definite and per-

Deviations are plotted in millivolts as ordinates; concentration-ratios as abscissae. 

 The most concentrated amalgams contain each 1.87 gram-atoms per liter. The dotted 

 lines are extrapolated.
