Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science, Vol. 2: For 1894
The researches of Raoult may be looked upon as forming the basis of the new movement.
Any study of the liquid state must in the first instance con cern itself with the phenomena which limit this state, namely, freezing on the one hand and boiling on the other. It had long been known that, in general, the presence of foreign matter in solution depresses the freezing point of a liquid, and raises its boiling point. Coppet had already paved the way for the quantitative study of the first of these phenomena which Raoult (1886 - 1888) carried on with great experimental skill and extended to the second.
