Abstract
THE present work is a reproduction of the substance of courses of lectures delivered in Amsterdam and Berlin in the years 1894 to 1896. It will be very welcome to the larger public to which these lectures are thus made accessible. They deal almost exclusively with the researches of the author and his pupils on the formation and decomposition of double salts. The original form of the lectures has not been retained, the subject-matter being treated under three heads. Under the first, the behaviour of a sparingly soluble double salt formed by the union of two binary salts, with or without water of crystallisation, is investigated from the standpoint of the author's theory of dilute solutions and the theory o electrolytic dissociation. The temperatures and pressures at which a double salt can exist, its decomposition by a solvent, and the influence of the presence of one or other of its components on its stability are theoretically investigated.
