Freezing point, viscosity, and boiling point data are presented for aqueous solutions of levo-2,3-butanediol containing methanol, ethanol, ethylene glycol, and tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol as third components. All four ternary systems show freezing points of −50 °C. and lower over a considerable range of compositions. Among the compounds tested as third components, methanol was most effective as a thinning agent and accessory freezing point depressant. The data indicate that 20% methanol–40% butanediol–40% water is suitable for use at temperatures as low as −50 °C.

In this paper the results of observations of the elevation of the boiling point of aqueous solutions of electrolytes are given, and a few results of observations of the depression of the freezing point, together with conductivity data obtained by observations of conductivity at about 99·4° and 0° Centigrade.


In the alloys of silver with the four elements immediately following it in the Periodic Table, the silver rich alloys give rise to primary substitutional solid solutions for which the phase boundaries in the equilibrium diagram show well-defined valency effects. When the diagrams are plotted in atomic percentages, the liquidus and solidus curves fall more steeply with increasing valency of the solute, whilst the extent of the solid solution becomes less. It was shown (Hume-Rothery, Mabbott and Channel-Evans 1934) that, to a first approximation, the liquidus curves followed a simple valency rule, such that alloys of identical equivalent composition had identical freezing-points, and, hence, in dilute solutions where the liquidus curves were straight lines, the atomic depression of freezing-point was proportional to the valency of the solute. The experimental errors of 1 or 2°C. in the freezing-point data prevented an exact proof of a whole number law, and the present paper describes more accurate determinations of the freezing-points of these alloys. The first part of the experimental work was carried out by one of the authors (W. H. -R.) working alone, and the later work by the two authors together. It is convenient to refer to the two series of experiments as the early work and the later work respectively. In order to increase the accuracy of the liquidus determinations it has been necessary to examine many sources of error, and this work is described in 2; 3 contains the experimental results, which are discussed in 4.

Over 2,000 samples of cow milk and 243 samples of processed milk were analyzed for freezing point. Data suggest the need for continuing surveillance of both raw and pasteurized milks. During the course of the study, the incidence of freezing points in processed milks suggestive of added water dropped markedly. It is suggested this may have been due to information gained during the study and consequent response.

The freezing-point depressions of aqueous solutions of the homologous series RNH3Br, where R varies from ethyl to n-octyl, and of sodium decanoate were determined and used to calculate osmotic and mean activity coefficients. In the case of the surfactants octylamine hydrobromide and sodium decanoate, the pre- and post-micellar regions were covered. Activity data at higher temperatures were calculated using previously published thermochemical data. Some difficulties arise in the critical micellar region of sodium decanoate at high temperatures as a result of the large concentration and temperature dependence of the heat capacity data. The activities from freezing point data are compared with those obtained from specific electrodes.

Specific gravity, refractivity, viscosity, boiling point, and freezing point data are provided for 1,2-propanediol, 1,3-propanediol, 1,2-butanediol, 1,3-butanediol, 1,4-butanediol, 1,2-pentanediol and 1,5-pentanediol, in the pure state and in aqueous solution. The observed molar refraction values agreed closely with Mr values calculated according to Swientoslawski. Lengthening the distance between the hydroxyl substituents increases the specific gravity, refractivity, boiling point, and viscosity, and reduces thermal expansion and isothermal contraction on mixing with water. The order of decreasing effectiveness as freezing point depressants on a weight basis is 1,2-propanediol, leva- 2,3-butanediol, 1,3-propanediol, 1,3-butanediol, 1,4-butanediol, 1,2-butanediol, 1,5-pentanediol, and 1,2-pentanediol. Aqueous solutions of all of these glycols exhibit pronounced specific gravity maxima. The glycol concentration at which maximum specific gravity is attained increases with increasing distance between the hydroxyl substituents.

levo-2,3-Butanediol is more effective than glycerol and less effective than ethylene glycol as a freezing point depressant for water. The considerable discrepancy that is reported between observed freezing points and values calculated from Raoult's law for solutions of these chemicals is attributed to hydration. The antifreeze property of levo-2,3-butanediol is not impaired by prolonged refluxing or by use in automobile cooling systems. The viscosity of 50 to 60% solutions is considerably greater than that of 50 to 60% ethylene glycol and is slightly greater than that of 50 to 60% glycerol at 20 °C., the differences in viscosity between these solutions being magnified by low temperatures. Kinematic viscosity data are presented for levo-2,3-butanediol solutions at concentration intervals of 10% over the greater part of the liquid range.The comparatively low surface tension of levo-2,3-butanediol solutions indicates a possible need for precautionary measures against creeping and foaming. Metallic corrosion is not greater than with water, barring excessive contamination with acetates. levo-2,3-Butanediol and ethylene glycol are judged equally satisfactory with respect to heat capacity, flash point, expansion on solidification and heating, and effects on metal finishes and rubber. Density of levo-2,3-butanediol solutions cannot be used as a measure of freezing point protection. The mixtures of 2,3-butanediol isomers obtained with Aerobacter aerogenes, Aeromonas hydrophila, and Bacillus subtilis are lacking in antifreeze properties because of their high content of the meso-isomer.
