lutions of CaCl2 in the case of positively charged particles of water. 

 Fig. 8 shows that this is the case. The two lower curves in Fig. 8 

 show the influence of concentrations of sufficiently acid solutions of 

 Na2S04 upon the rate of diffusion of water from distilled water into

 concentrations of non-electrolytes, except for an intimation of a slight 

 drop for concentrations of Na2S04 between m/64 and m/8. The three 

 upper curves represent the influence of concentrations of different
