AET. 12. — H. HIROBE : ON THE FUSION SURFACES OF THE 



Phenol ill water is dissociated to sinij)le molecules at least in 

 the more dilute solutions/^ Hence if phenol in chlorobenzene is 



c 



all associated to (CgHoO)o, then -w must be constant and if 

 (CGHeO)^ alone exists in the solution, then -jr niiist be constant. 

 If it be completely dissociated -^ must be constant, while if it 

 be partially dissociated according to the chemical equation 



(C6HeO)3ZÎ3C6HoO 

 the ratio 7^ must be unchano-eable.
