Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Relations Between Chemical Constitution and Some Physical Properties Ostwald 1 has pointed out that besides the additive and constitutive physical properties there is a third type - the colligative, the numerical value Of which depends solely on the number of molecules present. Perhaps the best example Of this type of property is gaseous volume, which under ordinary pressures is almost exactly proportional to the number of mole cules of the gas present. Since colligative properties are independent of the composition and structure of the molecule, we shall not discuss them in this volume. Before proceeding to consider in detail the relations be tween physical properties and chemical constitution, we shall trace the history of their development. The reader will then be able to appreciate the bearing of the subject on the science of pure Chemistry, and, perhaps, after reading the ensuing Chapters, he will be able to form some estimate of the trend of future research. The subject which we are about to study is by no means of recent growth it is the Oldest branch of physical chemistry, and its origin may be traced to the beginning of last century, when the foundations of modern chemistry were being laid. This science, which deals with the relations between physical properties and chemical constitution, may be regarded as an offshoot of pure chemistry; and we shall find that its develop ment has always depended on the advance of chemical theory. In order to make clear this relation we shall follow the advance of our subject side by side with that of the parent science.
