Abstract
THE phenomenon of separation and graded concentration of solutes on freezing and thawing a column of solution has already been reported1. An investigation of the various factors influencing the cryoscopic effect, as this phenomenon has been called, was undertaken. Among the several factors examined, the relative influence of specific gravity and of molecular weight of the solute points to a revealing conclusion of basic character.
