Soft cover. Condition: Good. MENDELEEV (MENNDELEEFF), Dmitri. "Sur la cohesion de quelques liquides et sur le role de la cohesion moleculaire dans les reactions chimiques des corps" in Comptes Rendus, Paris, Mallet-Bachelier, 1860, vol 51 no. 3, the issue of pp 73-108 with the Mendeleev on pp 97-99. Cleanly and neatly extracted from a larger bound volume, offered with the (detached) original wrappers. [++] An early paper by the 26-year-old Mendeleev, one of the first to appear in French. "In 18591860 Mendeleev worked at the University of Heidelberg, where he first collaborated with Bunsen, and then established his own laboratory. He studied capillary phenomena and the deviations of gases and vapors from the laws of perfect gases. In 1860, he discovered the phenomenon of critical temperaturethe temperature at which a gas or vapor may be liquefied by the application of pressure alonewhich he called the "absolute temperature of boiling." He was thereby led to consider once again the relationship between the physical and chemical properties of particles and their mass. He was convinced that the force of chemical affinity was identical to the force of cohesion; he looked upon his work, then, as falling within the realm of physical chemistry, the ground upon which chemistry, physics, and mathematics met."--Complete DSB online. …
