The gases examined by Amagat were oxygen, nitrogen, air,hydrogen, carbon dioxide, ethylene, and methane. In all cases except that of hydrogen the product/z; diminishesat first with rise of pressure, reaches a minimum, and then increasesagain. With hydrogen only the last of these relations was observed,the product pv increasing throughout with rise of pressure; and ^ Fig. the tube.
