I. Minimum Boiling-points I n the general discussion of s!.steiiis iiiade u p of t n o 1.olatilr coiiiponents, Rancroft' iiiakes tlie follon-ing statement : ' * If two consoliite liqiiids ha\-e the same 1-apor-pressure at a gi\.en teiiiperature, some iiiixture of tlie two must have either a iiiaxiiiiiitii or a niiniiiiuni vapor-pressure at that temperature unless all coiiceiitratioris have the same value. If a t other teniperatures tlie isotheriii~lcurve has neither a iiiasiniiiiii nor iiiiiiiiiiuiii, it is possible to pass by change of temperature from a s!.stetii liehaI.ini,. i n one \\-a!. to a s!.steni belia\.iiig in another. T h i s would preve.;t an!- deductions from the form of the pix+ sure c u n - e a t one teiiiperature to that at another. T/ic( z / f c r i ! ( T t i x is t h n f n i l coiisoliltc, liqiiids v i t l i iiitcr.ic(.tiii.l alcohol and ether (Table 11) is arranged in a manner similar to the first. In this case also tlie pressures vary but little from the nieari [ d u e of 738.7, but ne\.ertlieless tlie correction has been applied here also.

T h e results obtained for acetone and methyl alcoliol are premitetl in Table 111 wliich is arranged in the usual manner. I n this case also, it is possible to correct to the inearl barometric pressiire, h i t as tlie table is to be used later in the deteriiiinatioii of \.apor compositions, it has been reduced to the standard pressure of 760 iniii. T h e corrections have been taken froin 1,andolt and Rornstein's Tabellell (p. 191) which gi\-es the value of 0.037" ;is corresponding to i riini increase of pressiire for alcohol het:n-een the pressures of 730 and 760 iiiin, wliile for acetone tlie saine \-slue is 0.039'.

T h e curve G H K which gives the representation of these results is slio\t.n i n Fig. 2. A minimum boiiing-point occiirs a t a temperature of j 5.93" a t a pressure of 760 inm,the composition of the solution being approximately 13.j percent alcohol and 86.j percent acetone. In testing the conformity to the theory of the results which have so far been given in connection with boiling-point deterniinations, it will be well to refer to a paper which gives a very fair sunimar~.of s-aporpressure deteriniliatiom up to the year I 894. I n this paper the author' has gathered the most satisfactor;\-iiieasiireiiients of vapor pressures of cliff erent componnds with the idea of finding what vapor-pressure cnrves intersect. T h e difficulty of access to this paper, tlie fact that it has been o\.erlooked by a t least one scientist, aiid its m e for further reference, make excuse for its insertion completely iinnecessary. T h e paper proceeds as follon-s : I shall limit myself to merely recalling tlie measurements of Sa,jotscliewskyz \\.hose cur\-es do not intersect and proceed a t once to those of Kamsaj-, Young and Thoiiiasj which are more interesting from a double standpoint - tlie boiling-points of the liquids examined are much closer to each other, and the accuracy of the iiieasureiiients is of a verJ- high order. In the following table will be found non-associated liquids arranged in the order of rising boiling-pointsl if we regard these & h

" By following these columns from top to bottom, it ma\ be readily seen that the temperatures of ebullition under tlie pressiires of 2 0 0 , 4000 and 25000 inn1 of mercury, increase graduall! in exactly the same manner as those gix-en for the pressure of 760 nim, which determined the foregoing arrangement ; the only exceptions are the fatty ether< whose boiling-points lie close to those of benzene and carbon tetrachlorid, for which the vapor-tension curves cut a t a few tenths of a degree below the pressure of 760 mm. These exceptions are possibly attributable to tlie fact that some ethers begin to decoiiipose \\hen the? are heated to high temperatures : this fact has been announced by

AAccorcling to its boiliiig--point under the pressure of 2 0 0 iiiiii, methyl alcoliol slioulcl lie placed betn-een iiiethj.1 acetate and carbon tetrachlorid ; while under the pressure of 25000 mi11 the boiling-poitit of inetliJ.1 alcohol lies het\veeii those of etliJ.1 ether and carbon bisiilfid : the 1-apor-tension curl-e of this alcohol ciits therefore those of the four intermediate bodies, nietli!.l acetate, ethyl formate, carbon bisulficl and ethlj. etli er. 13). analogous reasoning it might be reall!. pro\.ed that tlie curl-e for etlij-1 alcohol cuts tlie ciirl-es of liqtiid Sos. 4,5) 6, 7 . 8,9, IO, and 1 1 ; propJ.1 alcohol the cui-1-es, Kos. 6, 7 , S, 9, IO, 11, 12, 1 3 ~ 14,and 1 5 : acetic acid o n 1 ~one - ciir\-f9S o . 16."
