Solutions of sea salt compared 3 i 3 



[6] Saturated solution and salt in 69 of water (the new solutions) compared in 

 the same manner, only using the jars i and 2 instead of the battery; with the 

 tubes 5 and 17. 



17 5 [R. = 25100.] 



2-6 41-1 sensib. greater. 

 5-5 sensib. less. 



Therefore saturated solution conducts 10-05 times better than salt in 69 of 

 water. 



618] The electricity of the 6 jars was found to be as much diminished by 

 being communicated to 3 rows of the battery as that of i row is by being 

 communicated to 4 rows, therefore quantity of electricity in the 6 jars is to 

 that in one row as 3 to 4. 



Exp. 7. Saturated solution and salt in 69 (the new solutions) tried in the same 

 manner with battery; i row being electriffed to 2, and its electricity communicated 

 to remaining rows, and one row used at a time. 



Tried in tube 5 and 17. [R. = 25300.] 

 i? 5 



5-4 41-4 plainly less. 



2-6 about as much greater. 



3-0 scarce sensibly greater. 



5-0 just sensib. less. 



3-95 supposed right. Therefore sat. sol. conducts 10-31 times better than 

 salt in 69. 



Exp. 8. Saturated solution compared with salt in 29 in tubes 22 & 23 with 

 Nairne's jars. 



8-7 

 4-8 



22 



24-9 



Electrometer i. Th. 63. [R. = 65000.] 



just sensibly less, 

 about as much greater. 



The bore of that part of tube 23 which was used is supposed ^ greater than 

 that of whole tube together. Therefore sat. sol. conducts 3-51 times better 

 than salt in 29 of water. 



Exp. 9. The solution in 29 diluted with i J of water, id est, solution of salt 

 in 69, compared with sat. solution in same tubes. 



23 22 Electrom. = i. Th. = 63. [R. = 65000.] 



2-0 24-9 greater. 



3-8 about as much less. 



Therefore sat. sol. conducts 7-79 times better than the diluted solution, 

 and the diluted solution conducts 2-2 times worse than solution in 29.
