Conductivity of Aqueous Solutions. Part VII. 



A comparison of the values of the percentage-hydrolysis (100 ft) of 

 the salt in the mixture calculated by the two methods shows at 218 a 

 considerable divergence, especially in the experiments where an excess 

 of base was added. This was doubtless due largely to the destruction of 

 some of the base during the heating. At 306 where this was determined 

 and allowed for, and where the calculation by the second method is more 

 accurate, the agreement is far more satisfactory (except in the first 

 experiment which appears to be affected by some accidental error). 

 From an examination of the values of the percentage hydrolysis (100 h ) 

 of the salt in pure water it is seen that the experiments in which different 

 quantities of acid were added gave very concordant results, whether
