Notes:
   a  Calculated by the compiler.
   b  c2 means the concentration of entities 1/12 Fe4[Fe(CN)6]3.
c2 = c{1/12 Fe4[Fe(CN)6]3}; M{1/12 Fe4[Fe(CN)6]3} = 71.603 g mol-1

Author: "Although it is uncertain whether the colloids in question have definite chemical formula, yet for the sake of clearness the gram-equivalent of Prussian blue was taken as 1/12 Fe4[Fe(CN)6]3 = 71.603."
   c  L = Ostwald coefficient [cm3 cm-3]. The values represented in table are mean values of measurements.

Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   The method of Ostwald was employed.1 The solutions were freed from air by boiling in a vacuum and, without contact with air, transferred to the vaccum mixing vessel at 25 °C. The gas was saturated with water vapor at the same temperature. Five measurements were made with a given solution at five different temperatures, the process being repeated after an interval of several hours to check the former result.

Source and Purity of Materials:
   (1) Carefully washed. Purity of CO2 was confirmed by the value obtained for its solubility in distilled water.
   (2) Prepared by mixing sodium ferrocyanide and ferric chloride, washed, redissolved, concentrated.
   (3) Not specified.

Estimated Errors:
   Solubility: δL/L = ± 0.004 (by author)
