Abstract
The aerosol produced by a commercial device used for cloud seeding experiments was studied by electron microscopy, electron diffraction, chemical analysis and a replica method to test the hygroscopicity of the particles. The electron micrographs obtained from the aerosol when applying the replica method showed the hygroscopic nature of the aerosol particles.
We deduced from chemical analysis that the aerosol is composed of silver and potassium iodides in the ratio of approximately 2:1.
From an electron diffraction pattern and other considerations, the formation of a double salt or a solid solution is indicated; its nature should be considered in further work.

Abstract
The freezing characteristics of supercooled droplets of electrolytic solutions were studied for a set of 22 electrolytes and for concentrations of 10−2, 10−2 and 10−1 N. Ethyl alcohol was also tested. The freezing curves were found to be similar to those of water. The mean freezing temperature was compared in each case with that of the water sample used as a solvent. The differences were interpreted for the more diluted solutions in terms of the theory of heterogeneous nucleation.
