Excerpt from New Method for Determining Compressibility
IT has been suggested recently that since the volume of a solid or liquid must be determined in part by the internal pressures to which it is subjected by chemical affinity and cohesion, the compressibilities of substances are probably data of important chemical significance.' In attempting to interpret this significance, the enquirer at once faces the fact that few pertinent compressibilities are accurately known. Only complex organic compounds have been much studied, and their behavior under pressure is affected by too many variables to be easily interpreted. No more than four elements have been studied at all, and none except mercury and copper have been investigated by more than a single investigator.

Excerpt from New Method for Determining Compressibility
Other trials, with a wider tube and with the bulb in the lower envel ope, diminished the error due to the adhesion of bromine. Thus the percentage change of volume for pressures of 50, 100, and 150 kilo grams per square centimeter respectively were found to be and per cent. For bromine, and and per cent. For mercury respectively. These data lead to the following values of the compressibility of bromine - from 0 to 50 atmospheres, from 50 to 100 atmospheres, and from 100 to 150 atmospheres, The temperature was 17° C. As will be seen later, these values are not far from the true ones; and they are consistent enough to show a steady decrease of compressibility with increasing pressure, which seems to be the universal rule.
