FIQ. 3. The Absorption Curves for the Solvents. 

 METHYL ALCOHOL. 



The methyl alcohol was refluxed and distilled twice over lime and 

 once over metallic calcium. Its specific gravity at 15 referred to water 

 at 15 was 0.7956. The figure for anhydrous methyl alcohol given by 

 the Bureau of Standards, Bulletin 19, page 22 (1916), is 0.79647. This 

 indicates that the methyl alcohol used in this work was free from 

 water. The absorption curve for this alcohol also indicates absence
