Page 160 - Muhias, according to which the mean of the densities of a liquid and its saturated vapour for any stable substance is a rectilinear function of the temperature. It appears, among other results of this investigation, that the law, though approximately satisfied, is not absolutely true unless the ratio of the actual to the theoretical density at the critical point has the normal value 377. In most cases if the mean density be expanded in powers of the temperature, the sign of the coefficient of the...

Page 275 - We took advantage of these experiments to study some of the reactions of fluorine on bodies kept at extremely low temperatures. Silicon, boron, carbon, sulphur, phosphorus, and reduced iron cooled in liquid oxygen and then placed in an atmosphere of fluorine, did not become incandescent. At this low temperature fluorine did not displace iodine from iodides. However, its chemical energy is still sufficiently great to decompose benzine and essence of turpentine with incandescence as soon as their temperatures...

Page 251 - The glass tube was then hea'ed to the highest temperature attainable with a blow-pipe — peihaps 900° or 950° C. In no case, whether the metal tube consisted of palladium, platinum, or iron, was there the smallest transpiration of gas, even after half an hour. The phosphorescent vacuum remained in all experiments quite unimpaired. Physical Society, May 28.— Mr. Shelford Bidwell, President, in the chair.
