LIQUID CHLORINE 



303 



Ether — Chlorine — HCl 

 Chlorine, 7.70 grams; ether, 1.163 

 The ether used was some which had been kept for several months 

 over sodium. The values obtained are shown in Curve I. It was 

 observed that if only a small quantity of ether (1-2 per cent.) was 

 dissolved in the chlorine no appreciable conductivîty was obtained 

 even on the addition of four or five times the molecular equivalent of 

 HCl. The conduction of the solution increased with each addition 

 of acid. This was also noticed by Maass and Mcintosh for the 

 system Ether-Acid, where the maximum conducting power was found 

 at about 8 molecules of acid to one of ether.

Ethyl A cetate — Chlorine — A cid 



Chlorine, 8.21 grams; ethyl acetate, 1.065 grams 

 The ethyl acetate used was shaken with water to remove the 

 alcohol, dried over calcium chloride and redistilled. The values 

 obtained are shown in Curve II. As with ether, a fairly large pro- 

 portion of ethyl acetate seemed necessary to give a conducting 

 solution. A solution containing about 6 per cent, ethyl acetate was 

 only beginning to show an increase in conductivity when about one 

 molecular equivalent of acid had been added.
