Page 53 - Graham had shown that the relative rates of diffusion of two gases are inversely proportional to the square roots of their densities.
Page 7 - In physics, at the same temperature and pressure equal volumes of different gases contain the same number of molecules.
Page 111 - Cole, (letter, 1951) about all that can be said at the present time is that...
Page 26 - ... themselves periodically to yield similarity of chemical and physical properties. Nevertheless, it was not until much later that the reason for this behavior...
Page 96 - ... that the ratio of the sines of the angles of incidence and refraction is constant for refraction in the same medium, was effected by Snell and Descartes.
Page 169 - Thus we saw (Table 2) that at 14.2° the osmotic pressure of a 1 per cent. solution of cane sugar is 51 cm.
Page 7 - Finally, we have just learned that one volume of nitrogen combines with three volumes of hydrogen to form two volumes of ammonia: 3 volumes hydrogen combine to form 2 volumes ammonia.
Page 173 - Cane sugar dissolved in water exerts an osmotic pressure equal to that which it would exert if it were gasified at the same temperature and the volume of the gas were reduced to that of the solvent in the pure state.
Page 262 - The law of mass action states that at a constant temperature the rate or speed of a chemical reaction is proportional to the active masses of the reacting substances present at that time.
Page 38 - ... located by the phosphorescent spot produced. If a strong magnetic field H be applied to such a pencil of rays they will be deflected from their rectilinear path. The force exerted by the field H on a particle carrying a charge e, moving with a velocity v, will be Hev. At equilibrium, this force will be equal to the centrifugal force of the moving particle acting outwards along its radius of curvature, r. Therefore, if the mass of the particle be m, the following relation holds Uev = ^ - (12.1)...
