A comparison of the location of the bands of the solid potassium sulphate with those of the 1/15 normal solution shows that the bands of the solutions are from 12 to 40 nearer the red, according to their wave-lengths.

URANYL POTASSIUM SULPHATE IN SULPHURIC ACID. The addition of sulphuric acid in moderate proportions to the aqueous solutions of the potassium sulphate increases the intensity and improves the resolution of the bands. A solution of the 5 of 4/15 normal aqueous solution to 1 of acid was subjected to the cooling process. In figures 92 and 93 and table 114 the shifts will be observed. Band 5, which is typical of the other bands, shifted toward the violet by 21 at —120°, and then shifted 6 toward the red at —180°. + 20 0° -60 -120 -180. 1400 a 830C S400 5390 SI90 5370 J>»0 1170 StIO 5180 S3«4 FIG. 92.—Uranyl potassium sulphate—Temperature shift. (1) 1/15 normal, aqueous; (2) 1/150 normal, aqueous; (3) 1/1500 normal, aqueous; (4) 5 of 4/15 normal, aqueous to 1 sulphuric acid; (5) 1 of 4/15 normal, aqueous to 1 sulphuric acid. The addition of acid in larger proportion—1 of acid to 1 of 4/15 normal solution—resulted in a spectrum which shifted toward the violet in a peculiar fashion with each decrement of temperature. (See curve No. 5 of fig. 92.) The total shift of band 5 amounted to 42 Further dilution with acid, e. g., 20 of acid to 1 of solution, resulted in another broad-banded spectrum at +20°. With cooling, however, partial resolution occurred. This is best observed in figure 94, where several narrow bands appear in the regions formerly occupied by the broad bands. Homologous components are lettered a, 6, and c. Still greater dilution—50 of acid
