Abstract
WE have been for the past year working on the diamagnetism of liquid mixtures. Our method was to determine the mass susceptibility by a Curie balance, using a powerful electromagnet of the Pye type. Several mixtures have been studied carefully. By careful adjustments we are confident that our error in susceptibility value is not more than half per cent. In all cases studied, straight lines have been obtained between the mass susceptibility and composition. It is thus clear that the additive law is generally obeyed by liquid mixtures. Our list includes mixtures of benzene with chlorobenzene, hexane, carbon tetra-chloride, and nitrobenzene, mixtures of hexane with nitrobenzene, and mixtures of acetone with chloroform.
