cryoscopy

Updated: May 27, 2025

The laws of cryoscopy, of tonometry, and of osmosis thus again become strict, and no exception to them remains. If the dissociation of salts is a reality and is complete in a dilute solution, any of the properties of a saline solution whatever should be represented numerically as the sum of three values, of which one concerns the positive ion, a second the negative ion, and the third the solvent.
