Adeney and Becker — Solution of Nitrogen and Oxygen. 625 



The value of S is approximately proportional to the solubility, being 

 about twice as great for oxygen as it is for nitrogen ; and if -i of the value for 

 nitrogen be added to 4- of that for oxygen, a value for air is obtained which 

 agrees fairly closely with the actual figures thus : — f of -0083 + \ of -0160 = 

 •00665 + -00320 = -00985, while the mean experimental figure is = -0100.
