Table 40 and fig. 34 a record the results. The diffusion in the main 

 proceeds in accordance with 



i'o = o.oo70 c.c./day or io'\ = o.i68 



and the rates finally obtained are 



z'o = 0.0095 c.c./day or 10^^ = 0.229 



The usual difficulties in relation to equilibrium conditions assert themselves 

 at the outset.

60. The Same, Continued. — ^Diluted with about an equal bulk of water 

 the density of the solution fell to p= 1.0580 at 21°, corresponding to 6.32 

 grams in 100 grams of solution or 6.75 grams in 100 grams of water. The 

 vapor pressure is 7r' = 7r(i —0.014).

The observations are given in table 41 and fig. 34 b. They are reasonably 

 regular and show that the weekly period of observations is in every way 

 preferable to the daily period. The rates of diffusion are 



10 = 0.0065 c.c./day or io'\ = 0.164. 



which is still far below the value for pure water, in spite of the dilution of 

 the solution in question. 



61. Diffusion of Air into Air Through FeCL, Solution. — A nearly con- 

 centrated solution of this very soluble salt was prepared, showing the density 

 1.25 10 at 22° and corresponding to 27.3 grams in 100 grams of solution, or 

 37.5 grams in 100 grams of water. A table for the vapor pressures above 

 the solution could not be found. The data for CaCl2 were, therefore, provi- 

 sionally adopted, as the effect upon k is not relatively large, when compared 

 with the other inevitable errors. Hence the vapor pressures are tt' = tt
