The situation with cadmium sulfate and other 2-2 type salts3is complicated by the fact that the curves a t the lowest measured concentrations have slopes that are considerably greater than the limiting theoretical slopes (for 1-1, 2-1, and 1-2 type salts the situation is reversed). This may be due to incomplete dissociation, complex ion formation or some other factor. In any case, agreement with theory a t infinite dilution demands that the curves of Fig. 2 show inflection points a t some very low concentration. Ap-

of the experimental results will introduce no large error into the integral heat of dilution values, although it will not give a correct value for the limiting slope. This is evident from an inspection of Fig. 2 where several extrapolations fusing into the theoretical limiting curve are shown. We have arbitrarily added 15 cal./mole to the values for the integral heats of dilution obtained by linear extrapolation, to include probable approach to the theoretical limiting slope; this introduces a further uncertainty, of not more than 10 cal., into the values of Table 111. The values of the slopes used for the linear extrapolation are given in Table 11, together with theoretical values20s21 for the limiting slopes. TABLE I1 b AH,/dm'/2 t, "C.

Integral Heats of Dilution.-An attempt to find an empirical equation to fit the curves of Fig. 1 over their entire range was unsuccessful. The section of the 10' curve above m1l2= 0.05, however, was well represented by an equation of the type AH, = A The same type of equation fitted the 15" curve reasonably well but was quite unsatisfactory for the 20' curve. The equations are

This type of equation has one serious defect; it has an asymptote a t or near the upper concentration limit of these experiments and therefore fails to follow the experimental trend at higher concentrations, where another inflection point and sharp rise3:22are indicated for the curves of Fig. 1. For this reason graphical rather than analytical values were used in obtaining derived quantities for the highest concentrations of these experiments. Table I11 lists values for the integral heat of dilution a t rounded concentrations read from the experimental curves of Figs. 1 and 2 (extrapolated as indicated above) and also, for 10 and 15', values calculated from the empirical equations for m"' > 0.05.

experimental points from the graphical values are 7.5, 10.8, and 8.0 cal. for the 10, 1.5, and 20' curves, respectively; mean deviations of calculated values from graphical values are 5.5 and 12.7 cal. a t 10 and 15'.

interest for purposes of comparison. At about 21.3' Plake measured heats of dilution between 0.25 and 0.0002 M ; a few measurements were made a t about 12.2 and 0.3' between 0.1 and 0.005 iM. These results were plotted by the point to point method and after extrapolation to infinite dilution E2 values were calculated as indicated above. These values are shown in Fig. 3 although they were not used in computing the vs. t slopes. It is interesting to note that the most reliable of Plake's values (21.3') are in good agreement with our results. The values for 12.2 and 0.3" are uncertain to about 100 cal./mole because of the long extrapolation to infinite dilution so that the departures from linearity indicated in Fig. 3 cannot be taken seriously.

Calorimetric values for integral heats of dilution and relative partial molal heat contents may be compared with values obtained electrometrically by La Mer and Parks.* Evaluation of E2 values from calorimetric data involves a differentiation of experimental results with respect to concentration ; hence, values for integral heats of dilution should be more reliable. Evaluation of Z z from e. m. f . measurements similarly requires a differentiation of the experimental results with respect to temperature, while the determination of integral heats of dilution requires the subsequent integration of these values over a range of concentrations; hence, the integral heats of dilution should be less reliable than the values. Therefore, a comparison of ZZvalues is made, in Table VI, although our AH, values should be somewhat more reliable.

the estimated experimental errors. The most dilute solution used in the e. m. f . measurements was 0.0005 m, while our measurements extend to about 0.0001 m; La Mer and Parks extrapolated to infinite dilution with the aid of the extended Debye-Hiickel theory, while our somewhat shorter, semi-empirical extrapolation has been described above. Since the agreement is excellent a t the lowest concentrations it is evident that the discrepancies a t higher concentrations are not due to the different methods of extrapolation. Since La Mer and Parks have indicated the existence of certain experimental difficulties with their cells and since activity coefficients calculated from their data do not agree well with those found by Robinson and Jonesg it seems likely that some part of the discrepancy is due to unreliability of the e. m. E. measurements. Moreover, Harned,27by recalculating similar data obtained by La Mer and Cowperthwaite28with zinc sulfate cells, has found that the method of calculation used by La Mer and Cowperthwaite introduces uncertainties aside from those inherent in the experimental work.

We have not recalculated activity coefficients for cadmium sulfate solutions a t 25" by correcting freezing point data with the 1 2 and - tit values reported here. Our measurements may be combined with the earlier, and probably less reliable, heats of solution measurements of Holsbeer,?? which extended from about 0.2 m to saturation a t several temperatures, to compute relative heat contents and heat capacities for the entire concentration range from infinite dilution to saturation. Values for also could be obtained by utilizing Holsboer's data. It is hoped to carry out these calculations in the near future. We are grateful to the National Research Council for two grants in aid which made possible the construction of the apparatus used in this investigation.

Summary Intermediate heats of dilution of aqueous cadmium sulfate solutions have been measured over the concentration range from 0.8 to 0.0001 m a t 10, 15, and 20' and have been extrapolated to infinite dilution to obtain integral heats of di1u'tion. No definite approach to the limiting law of Debye and Hiickel is indicated a t the lowest concentrations measured. Relative partial molal heat contents and heat capacities have been calculated for the temperature and concentration ranges of the rneasurements and have been compared with values obtained from e. m. f . measurements by La Mer and Parks.
