THE NEW THEORY OE SOLUTIONS.

solubility in benzene. To summarise, the curves for the 

 alcohols and lowest phenols closely resemble those of com- 

 plex molecules dissociating into simple molecules, while 

 the curves for the acids and oximes resemble those of 

 double molecules dissociating into simple molecules. 



Independent evidence that in associated solutions we 

 are really concerned with dissolved substances having 

 abnormally high molecular weights is not difficult to find.
