Abstract
ALL sorts of organic solvents are now in use in the laboratory as well as in industry. The users often require to know something about their properties, and they will welcome the fact that, thanks to the collaboration of an organic and a physical chemist, a collection has been made of the physical constants in handy tabular form, separate for each substance, of 157 different solvents selected in an arbitrary fashion but covering a wide variety of requirements.
