The two mixtures of sulphuret and chloride of carbon conse- 

 quently present the same fact that we have already seen to occur 

 with mixtures of sether and sulphuret of carbon ; the tensions of 

 their vapours are weaker than those of the most volatile liquid, 

 and intermediate between the tensions of the two liquids com- 

 posing the mixture. 



Mixture of benzine and alcohol. 



The mixture of benzine and alcohol consequently gave vapours 

 of greater tension than those of the most volatile liquid, which 

 was not observed with the preceding mixtures in the proportions 

 of which they were composed.
