Excerpt from The Osmotic Pressure of Cane Sugar Solutions at 15° Centigrade: Dissertation, Submitted to the Board of Graduate Studies of the Johns Hopkins University in Conformity, With the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of PhilosophyAbsolute perfection, however, has not been reached in this matter of correction for change in rotation, for while it has been proved that practically all of this loss, when the needle. Is employed, is due to inversion nevertheless, as is pointed out above, a trace may be due to dilution, and this at present we are unable to estimate. The quantities involved are, however, too small to essentially change the results.Another advantage was also found in the use of the needle. It was possible to keep the manometer more completely filled with mercury as it was not sucked out at the time of opening the cell. This fact tended to prevent the sugar solution from working round between the glass and the mercury and eventually contaminating the enclosed gas. When such action occurs it is necessary to open the manom eter for cleaning and refilling and to re-determine the gas volume, an operation requiring time and considerable skill.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
