[234] A similar series of hydrates is formed by zinc chloride and water (Dietz and Mylius, Zeitschr. anorg. Chem., 1905, 44. 209).

[238] This composition was also confirmed by measurements of the vapour pressure (cf. p. [90]).

[239] Since all substances are no doubt volatile to a certain extent at some temperature, it is to be understood here that the substances are appreciably volatile at the temperature of the experiment.

[242] The composition of a solution is represented symbolically by placing a double wavy line between the symbols of the components, and indicating the number of atoms present in the ordinary manner: thus, I
