As can also be seen, the effect increases somewhat more 

 slowly with an increase in concentration than does the con- 

 centration itself. In Table VIII the concentration is over 

 three times as great as that in Table V; the effect of the 

 alkali, however, only three times as great. 



We must now try to answer the question which is of
