Sinopsis

Excerpt from New Method for Determining Compressibility

IT has been suggested recently that since the volume of a solid or liquid must be determined in part by the internal pressures to which it is subjected by chemical affinity and cohesion, the compressibilities of substances are probably data of important chemical significance.' In attempting to interpret this significance, the enquirer at once faces the fact that few pertinent compressibilities are accurately known. Only complex organic compounds have been much studied, and their behavior under pressure is affected by too many variables to be easily interpreted. No more than four elements have been studied at all, and none except mercury and copper have been investigated by more than a single investigator.
