Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Drop Weight of the Associated Liquids, Ethyl Alcohol, Methyl Alcohol and Acetic Acid: Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy, in the Faculty of Pure Science in Columbia University in the City of New York
It has been shown in former researches' that the weight of a drop of liquid, falling from a properly constructed tip, is proportional to the surface tension of the liquid. It has further been shown that for all non-associated liquids thus far investigated, falling drop weights may be substituted for surface tensions in the above formula. By this simple method, surface tensions, molecular weights and critical temperatures of the non-associated liquids may be more easily and accurately calculated than that attained by capillary rise.
