om- STRUCTURE OF MATTER. 3? 3 pressing ; but we now find a very great difficulty incompressing any further, because we have liquid waterto deal with, which now fills the whole of the lowerpart of our cylinder. The curve will now show verylarge increments of pressure for very small decrementsof… … given temperature water begins to form. Then, howevermuch more we may compress up to a certain limit, thepressure does not alter, so that our curve then runsalong parallel to the horizontal line, and it does sountil all the steam is converted into water ; and then byfurther application of pressure…
