The graphic interpretationsof the two Tables LXVI. a and LXVI. b are shown in curvesC and D, fig. 6. § 279. If we could find two liquids showing neither con-traction nor expansion when mixed, and neither liberatingnor absorbing heat, the vapour-tension of a mixture of suchliquids should be expressed by the equation Vt(ma+nb) = Vta + mafytb — vtg)ma 4- ?ib * where generally vts means the vapour-tension of the liquid s,and where a and b are the liquids and m and n their respective Volume Changes attending Mixture. 515 Fig. 6.

The maximumdeparture from this straight line on the curves in fig. 6 givesus the maximum interference. This, in the case of chloroformand ether, is at the monoinolecular ratio. Now, if we searchthe curve of mixtures containing bisulphide of carbon, we findthere also a maximum departure from the mean at a certainratio. In the case of bisulphide of carbon and ether this is at30 or 35 per cent, of the ether (say 32*5). This i
