A method of calculating the heat capacity difference of liquid and its vapour along saturated vapour pressure curve is discussed. The qualitative course of this difference in dependence on temperature obtained from the data on the temperature dependence of heat of vaporization of pure substances is judged.


The vapour-pressure curve of liquid helium below 1.6° K has been determined using the susceptibility of various paramagnetic salts as the thermometer. It is found that the results agree with the theoretical curve recently calculated by Bleaney and Simon to within the experimental error of 0.004° down to 1° K, and differ from the ‘scale 1937’ of Schmidt and Keesom, e.g. by 0.03° at 1° K.

A method is described for the accurate determination of the vapour pressure of aqueous solutions of non-volatile salts. Solutions of two salts contained in a large silver dish are rocked in an evacuated desiccator until equilibrium is attained, then the vapour pressure of the one solution is determined from the known vapour pressure of the other. Results on the rate of attainment of equilibrium are given for various types of containers.Sodium chloride is chosen as the standard. Results are given for the system sodium-chloride–potassium-chloride at 25 °C., 30 °C., and 35 °C. Since there is a disagreement amongst the results for sodium chloride calculated from e.m.f. data and those determined from direct vapour pressure data, an arbitrarily selected vapour pressure curve is adopted. This curve is found to yield the activity coefficients of potassium chloride remarkably well. The method yields results whose accuracy is comparable with that of the best e.m.f. measurements.

1. Methods for measuring the vapour pressure of cheese and milk are discussed, and vapour pressure/moisture curves are given for a number of different varieties of cheese. The progressive artificial damping and drying of cheese produces no appreciable hysteresis in these curves.2. The vapour pressure curve is much influenced by the amount of salt in the cheese, but differences between varieties cannot be accounted for entirely in terms of differences in NaCl content.3. A preliminary experiment on the relationship between vapour pressure of Stilton cheese and amount of blueing indicated that such a relationship does in fact exist but that a much larger experiment is required before the connexion is fully understood.4. Preliminary experiments on the measurement of the vapour pressure of milk, although interrupted at rather an early stage, showed that, even so, additions of 2–3% of water in milk can be satisfactorily detected.
