Not illustrated. 1846 Excerpt: ...districts, such as Switzerland. Formerly it was believed that water acquired its maximum density at 4-1 Cen. =39-38 Fahr.; but the more recent and exact experiments of Munke and Stampfer have fixed this point at 38-8, or 38-75 Fahr Importance of this peculiarity, on account of the formation of ice in the sea and in rivers.--In order to determine accurately the specific gravity of any substance, it is indispensable that we should know the temperature of the water in which it is weighed. (See above, 173 and 176.) The changes in the volume of mercury are important to' be known, principally, because of their influence on the height of the barometer ( 199.), and, accordingly, they too have been repeatedly investigated. According to Flaugergue's most recent and careful experiments it appears that between--13 and + 212 the expansion of this metal is strictly uniform, and that this expansion, according to Dulong and Petit, is for each degree Fahr. 55 = 0-0001001001, for each degree C. = 0-00018018, and for each degree R. = 0-000225225. In consequence of the regularity of its expansion, mercury is the fluid most commonly used in thermometers. (Comp. 366.) The expansion of alcohol has also been investigated repeatedly, because of the use made of this fluid as a thermoscopic substance, for observations at a low temperature. Munke's experiments are the most recent, and the results he has obtained the most satisfactory. He makes the expansion 164 EXPANSION OF GASES. of pure alcohol (0-806 at 32 Fahr.) to be for every degree of heat above this temperature, the volume at 32 being reckoned 1; the expansion, however, at 43 is rather 43 448 more than, being--35. Alcohol contracts with the 1800 1800 like regularity for every degree below the freezing point...
