In order to throw further light on the conditions existing in a system of two partially miscible liquids, it was deemed of interest to measure some physical property of the solutions on both sides of the solubility curve, over the whole range of concentration, at a series of temperatures up to and above the critical solution temperature. The classical example water-phenol was chosen for study, and the densities of solutions of “phenol in water” and of “water in phenol” have been determined every 10° from 20° to 70°. The densities of the conjugate solutions have also been measured at more frequent intervals near the critical solution temperature.
