It has been held’ that the changes in volume and temperature occurring when liquids are mixed are closely related. It has been shown, however, ( I ) that a decrease in volume may accompany a fall in temperature, and that even when a decrease in volume is associated with a fall in temperature the maxima of these effects may occur with mixtures of different compositionsZ and ( 2 ) the diminution in volume in a given case (chloroform: ether) was much less than the heat of mixing would suggest. From a consideration of several cases, Young‘ concluded that “the thermal and volume effects do not, in many cases, run pari passu, though where a rise of temperature accompanies an increase in volume, or vice versa, both effects are relatively small.” Though two investigations5 have dealt with the relationship between changes in volume and in other physical properties, none has yet dealt systematically with the possible ronnection between volume change and thermal effect in binary mixtures. It was, indeed, a prior condition of such a n investigation that a broad survey should be made of the sign and magnitude of the thermal effects in a large number of cases, and this has but recently been done.6 It has now been possible to select a numer of pairs of liquids covering a wide range of thermal effects, and for these to determine in a systematic fashion the variation of change of volume on mixing. The results of this work are given here. Experimental The volume changes for each liquid pair were found by determining the densities of the pure liquids and several mixtures of known composition, using 30 cc. silica Sprengel pyknometers having a bulb on the short limb and ground silica caps on both limbs to prevent evaporation. Irregular results obtained at first with both glass and silica pyknometers were traced to changes in the composition of liquid mixtures by fractional evaporation during filling by suction. Possibly such evaporation effects account for the very irregular results previously obtained for some liquid pairs (e.g., Bussy and Buignet for ethyl alcohol: carbon disulphide). Therefore, in the determinations recorded, the pyknometer was filled by forcing the liquid into it from a closed vessel in a See E. G. Guthrie: Phil. Mag., ( 5 ) 18, 495 (1884); Patterson and hlontgomerie: J. Chem. SOC.,95, 1136 (1909). Bussy and Buignet: Ann. Chim. Phys., (4) 4, 5 (1865). a Clarke: Physik.

I n preparing the liquid mixtures (approximately so cc. for each experiment) the proper quantity of the more volatile liquid was weighed into a well-stoppered concial flask, and a measured volume of the second liquid was run in while the flask was kept cooled in running water.

The pyknometer, after filling, was brought exactly to z j" i .OI in a thermostat, the level of the liquid was adjusted in the usual way, the caps were fitted, and then the pyknometer was transferred to the balance case a n d weighed accurately against its tare. Results. The results are shown graphically in Figs. I and 2 , where the volume changes, (positive above and negative below the OX axis) in cc. per IOO cc. of total constituent liquids, derived in an obvious way from the experimental data, are plotted as ordinates against the mixture-compositions as abscissae.
