It is known that the depression of the freezing point of water, produced by dissolving molecularly equivalent amounts of different acids and salts in a given quantity of it, is approximately proportional to the number of ions which these substances must be supposed to yield in order to explain their electrical conductivities. Again, as the concentration of a solution of one such substance is gradually increased, the molecular depression of the freezing point, and the equivalent electrical conductivity, both vary, and vary by amounts which seem in some cases to correspond, but in others to differ considerably.
