umes of the unit mass of water undera constant pressure of one atmosphere. Choose the ordinateof the point C proportional to the volume of a gram of freez-ing water which is approximately 1.000116 cc. and let itsabscissa be 0°. Then the point B, directly above C, andhaving an ordinate 1.0907 times… … Fig. 148. From O to D the water contracts, and from J) to E itexpands, according to the law given on p. 178. At E vapori-zation commences, and continues to Gr, the volume increasing1696 times, but the temperature remains constant. Thefurther expansion is along €rH, having a slope tan (f> = ^—…
