Abstract
§ 1. SINCE the publication in 1803 of Berthollet's work,1 in which it is already asserted that the diffusion of salt solutions in water takes place according to the same laws as the propagation of heat in solids, an exact method has frequently been sought for determining the coefficient of diffusion. The attempts in this direction have failed to give concordant results, which may best be judged from a compilation of the numbers expressible in absolute units with reference to chloride of sodium, whose coefficient of diffusion in water has most frequently been measured. The coefficient is stated to be—
