Abstract:Working with two superposed liquid layers such as benzene-water I had difficulty in obtaining reproducible values for the capillary constant of the aqueous layer.This could have been due to the difficulty in establishing equilibrium between the saturated liquid and its vapor. T o minimize this effect I began to work with short capillaries. The capillary rise began to diminish with flattening of the meniscus. Several cm of length of the capillary above the meniscus were necessary to reach the maximum value of t… Show more
