Two Modifications of Liquid Ethyl Ether

Abstract

THE changes of the dielectric constant of liquid ethyl ether with temperature studied by one of us (J. M.), and described in a recent communication in NATURE, suggest that at the temperature 105.4° C. the liquid undergoes some transformations analogous to that found for liquid helium by W. Keesom and M. Wolfke (Comm. Leiden, 190b). To confirm this supposition we have made a study of the change of temperature with time during the gradual heating of carefully purified ethyl ether.
