HEAT AND THERMAL EXPANSION 81<br />

volatile liquids is attended by difficulties due to the formati<strong>on</strong><br />

of vapor when heated. The most accurate results are obtained<br />

by first determining the volume of a glass vessel at each of<br />

various temperatures by weighing the vessel full of mercury<br />

at those temperatures and then using the vessel to determine<br />

the density of the given liquid at the various temperatures.<br />

The accompanying table gives the results obtained in this way<br />

for water by Edward L. Nichols and William S. Franklin<br />

(The Elements of Physics; The MacMillan Co., New York<br />

City).<br />

The cubic expansi<strong>on</strong> of various gases may be obtained by<br />

mearis of careful measurements employing especially c<strong>on</strong>-<br />

structed laboratory apparatus. There are perceptible differ-<br />

ences of expansi<strong>on</strong> of various gases at equal pressures for a<br />

given rise in temperature; carb<strong>on</strong> dioxide, amm<strong>on</strong>ia and water<br />

vapor, for example, being distinctly different from hydrogen,<br />

nitrogen and oxygen, disproving the accuracy of Gay-Lussac's<br />

law.
