The Temperatures of Maximum Density and Temperatures of Maximum Refractivity of Aqueous Solutions

Wilson, Nora Gregg (1931) The Temperatures of Maximum Density and Temperatures of Maximum Refractivity of Aqueous Solutions. PhD thesis, University of Glasgow.

Abstract

Most liquids show a steady increase in density with fall of temperature, and similarly a steady increase in reflractivity. Water, however, is known to be unusual in that at a certain temperature cooling produces a decrease in the density. The same phenomenon of a temperature maximum has been found to occur in the case of the refractivity of water. Temperatures of maximum density have also been observed in the case of aqueous solutions. The present thesis is in two parts dealing respectively with the Temperatures of Maximum Refractivity of some aqueous solutions.
