Some further applications of the Heat Theorem to condensed systems

Some Further Applications 0 the Heat Theorem to Condensed Systems.—The reaction discussed on page 113 has been examined in a paper by G. Jones and G. L. Hartmann, though not with the completeness with which U. Fischer and, later, Braune and Koref (p. 115), had done so. These authors limited themselves to a measurement of the temperature-coefficient ot the cell, 

They state that the purpose of their work (carried out in Richards laboratory) was to test Richards theory of compressible atoms. They rightly point out that the above value is some 500 cals, less than is required by my Heat Theorem 15,014, according to p. 115). 

As regards the deviation of their result from that of Fischer, they emphasize the fact that their cells were more constant they omit to mention that Fischer has verified his value in a totally different manner by careful direct thermo-chemical measurements, made by two different methods nor do they refer to the results of Braune and Koref, who were able to confirm Fischer s number very 

Shortly afterwards H. S. Taylor f submitted the above work to what seems to me a very fundamental and reasoned criticism, and brought forward fresh experimental material, in particular from an examination of the cell, 

From the temperature coefficient of this cell he derives the value
