Abstract
The investigation of the accommodation coefficients of the paraffin hydrocarbons and their relation to the specific heats reported in Part I of this series has been extended to various temperatures of the nickel surface and to various gas temperatures. The results are, within the experimental error of about 1 percent, in full agreement with the general formulae derived in Part I, by which the accommodation coefficients of the paraffins were related to their molecular weights and their specific heats. A complete summary of these relations is given at the end of this paper.
