Abstract
IN connexion with the letters of Bell1, of Partington and Stratton2 and with editorial notes3, it is of interest to note the degree of activity in this field. As is justly stated in the second letter cited above, ” measurements of dissociation pressures of salt hydrates are somewhat difficult”. By way of illustration, whereas Perpérot and Schacherl4 report a value for the dissociation pressure equilibrium at 25° of cupric sulphate penta- and tri-deuterates which is 36 per cent lower than the corresponding value for the ordinary hydrates, two of us in 1934 had found this pressure difference to be only 8 per cent. We shall therefore welcome the promised results of Partington and Stratton. We have studied pressure equilibria in this and other univariant salt deuterate systems with and without the liquid phase (saturated solution) present, over a range of temperature.
