Abstract
PROF. H. B. BAKER has shown that prolonged contact between benzene and phosphorus pentoxide results in a marked rise in the boiling-point of the liquid. From this we may safely infer that corresponding and concurrent variations in other physical properties, such as the refractivity, freezing-point, and specific volume, take place during the process of dehydration.
