THE DIFFUSION OF GASES THROUGH 



52. The Same, Continued. — The preceding solution diluted with an 

 equal bulk of water showed the density p= 1.0274 at 21° or 3.3 grams in 

 100 grams of solution, 3.4 grams in 100 grams of water, corresponding to 

 the vapor pressure 7r' = 7r(i —0.018). 



The record of results is contained in table 33 and fig. 29 and is very pecu- 

 liar. Even apart from the usual irregularity at the beginning of the obser- 

 vation period, the curve continues to be sinuous after the weekly method of 

 observation is introduced. The mean value is probably that of pure water, 

 though the whole behavior is abnormal. The mean diffusion rates are 



i'o = 0.025 c.c./day or 10^^ = 0.946 



a value even in excess of the usual air value. If the final rate were taken 

 the diffusion constants would be 



^5 = 0.0197 c.c./day or 10^^ = 0.744 



which is more nearly the probable result.

53. Diffusion of Air into Air Through Bad, Solution. — The present 

 results are to be compared in series with the calcic and strontic chlorides. 

 The concentrated solution of BaCl2 showed a density of p^^, = i . 1 70 at 20° C, 

 therefore equivalent to 17 grams of BaClo in 100 grams of solution or 

 20.5 grams in 100 grams of Vv^ater. The vapor pressure was taken as tt' = tt 

 (i —0.050). The results obtained are recorded in table 34 and fig. 30 a. 



A line drawn through the observations gives the rates 



7'o = o.oo77 c.c. day or 10^^ = 0.192 

 low values, in keeping with the concentrated solution.
