Summary "Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, 'Liquid Gases' to 'Logar'" by Various is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This comprehensive encyclopedia entry details various concepts related to liquid gases, including their properties, historical context of their study, experimental achievements in liquefaction, and their practical applications. The text aims to serve as a thorough reference for readers interested in the scientific principles and advancements concerning gases and their behaviors under extreme conditions. The opening portion introduces the topic by tracing the historical development of the liquefaction of gases, starting with early observations and experiments, such as those by John Dalton and Michael Faraday, on gases like chlorine and carbon dioxide. It further describes the systematic experiments conducted to condense various gases into their liquid forms through the application of low temperatures and high pressures, highlighting key figures and their significant contributions to the field. The text sets the foundation for a more detailed exploration of gas properties, calorimetry, and the challenges faced in achieving liquid states for various gases, providing readers with insights into the scientific journey behind the liquefaction of gases.
