Gelling ability and hydration

Abstract

In this article I wish to share with readers some of the results of my experiments on the gelation of solutions, which, although obtained back in 1908, have not been published in sufficient detail. In my work on the gelation of solutions, I came to the following four conclusions (see the article and tables). In conclusion, I would like to draw attention to the fact that during the so-called “salting out” of organic colloids, the hydration capacity of the added salt plays a certain role, because, at least at a sufficiently high concentrations, there must be a struggle between the salt and colloid molecules for possession of hydration water.
