Excerpt from A Study of the Heats of Dilution of Certain Aqueous Salt Solutions: Thesis The value of the reversible molal heat of dilution was obtained by di luting the solution of a definite concentration with decreasing amounts of water, and plotting the heat effects obtained against the number of mols of water added. The curve was found to be a straight line (within this region) so that, by extrapolation to zero mols of water added, the value of the reversible molal heat of dilution at the particular concentration could be obtained.
