The only measurements of the electric conductivity of hydrogen fluoride which have been recorded appear to be those of Ostwald. These were made at low concentrations of which the highest was 0·5 per cent. The present work was undertaken with a view to obtaining figures for the electric conductivity of all concentrations up to the anhydrous acid, and also for checking Ostwald’s figures. In the course of the work it also became necessary to determine the density of hydrogen fluoride for all concentrations.
