ON THE SPECIFIC HEAT OF AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS.

case. The line which looks the best of the two is the H As, </> line, but this is due to 
the linear relation having been used in another form to assist in adjusting the final 
values for s 20 , as it is really equivalent to the relation 
It As = A. + B x . 
It will be shown later that the linear relation between <j> and A capable of a 
definite rational interpretation which appears to be fundamental for the relation 
between specific heat and specific volume.
