APPLICATION OF HAMMICK AND ANDREW'S MIXTURE LAW FOR SOLUTES IN WATER

It is shown that though mixture law is applicable to parachor of liquid-liquid mixtures, very low results are obtained when a solid solute is used. This has been supported by Hammick and Andrewe's work and by the work of S. S. Ray, although they themselves have failed to observe this. in case of liquid mixtures, when water is one of the constituents, acetic acid shows normal behaviour and p_c. can still be calculated in case of ethyl alcohol, methyl alcohol and acetone be extrapolation (x=1),
