✦ Synopsis

Mariotte's Law.--Amagat's various experiments upon the compressibility of gases, show that the belief that a gas continues to vary from Mariotte's law by becoming less compressible as the temperature continues to be increased, is not correct. If hydrogen were cooled sufficiently it would finally be compressed more than the law indicates ; on raising the temperature the variation from the law would first vanish and then become negative; but this variation, instead of continuing to increase negatively, would attain a maximum and then begin to approach unity.--Ann, de Chim. et de .Phys.
