Vol. 55 and composition which make the chemical potential of a given component equal in all the phases.Thus, from measurements on single phases of the effect of pressure, temperature, and concentration on the chemical potentials of the components, and from a knowledge of one set of conditions under which these phases exist together in stable equilibrium, it is possible to calculate all the changes of P, T, x which leave the equilibrium undisturbed.In this Laboratory attention has been directed to the effect of pressure on the solubility of the components in binary solutions at constant temperature. Methods have been devised for making accurate estimations of the compressibilities of solutions5 and from these data the changes of the chemical potentials of the components with pressure can be calculated. A search of the literature showed, however, that although copious and excellent data for the calculation of the variation with concentration of chemical potentials in dilute solutions are available, adequate data for concentrated solutions are few and far between.6 The experiments described here were undertaken to provide such data with an accuracy of 0.2 to 1% and at such concentration intervals that the slopes of the chemical potential vs. concentration curves might be known with confidence, especially in the region of saturation. The results have also some intrinsic interest, which will be discussed here from an empirical standpoint.
