Low-temperature Data for Carbon Dioxide

Summary. We investigated empirical data for the vapor pressure (154≤T≤196 K) and the heat capacity (12.52≤T≤189.78 K) of solid carbon dioxide. A computer algebra system (CAS) was used for all calculations. From the numerical point of view, we have adopted a cubic piecewise polynomial representation for the heat capacity and reached an excellent agreement between the available empirical data and the calculated ones. Furthermore, we have obtained values for the vapor pressure and heat of sublimation at temperatures below 195 right down to 0 K. The theoretical key prerequisites are: 1) Determination of the heat of sublimation of 26250 J · mol⁻¹ at vanishing temperature and 2) Elaboration of a ‘linearized’ vapor pressure equation that includes all the relevant properties of the gaseous and solid phases. It is shown that: 1) The empirical vapor pressure equation derived by Giauque & Egan remains valid below the assumed lower limit of 154 K (a similar argument holds for Antoine’s equation), 2) The heat of sublimation reaches its maximum value of 27211 J · mol⁻¹ at 58.829 K and 3) The vapor behaves as a (polyatomic) ideal gas even for temperatures below 150 K.     

Polymorphism of paracetamol

The thermodynamic relationship between crystal modifications of paracetamol was studied by alternative methods. Temperature dependence of saturated vapor pressure for polymorphic modifications of the drug paracetamol (acetaminophen) was mea sured and thermodynamic functions of the sublimation process calculated. Solution calorimetry was carried out for the two modifications in the same solvent. Thermodynamic parameters for sublimation for form I (monoclinic) were found: ΔG _sub²⁹⁸=60.0 kJ mol⁻¹; ΔH _sub²⁹⁸=117.9±0.7 kJ mol⁻¹; ΔS _sub²⁹⁸=190±2 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹. For the orthorhombic modification (form II), the saturated vapor pressure could only be studied at 391 K. Phase transition enthalpy at 298 K, ΔH _tr²⁹⁸(I→II)=2.0±0.4 kJ mol⁻¹, was derived as the difference between the solution enthalpies of the noted polymorphs in the same solution (methanol). Based on ΔH _tr²⁹⁸ (I→II), differences between temperature dependencies of heat capacities of both modifications and the vapor pressure value of form II at 391 K, the temperature dependence of saturated vapor pressure and thermodynamic sublimation parameters for modification II were also estimated (ΔG _sub²⁹⁸=56.1 kJ mol⁻¹; ΔH _sub²⁹⁸=115.9±0.9 kJ mol⁻¹; ΔS _sub²⁹⁸=200±3 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹). The results indicate that the modifications are monotropically related, which is in contrast to findings recently reported found by classical thermochemical methods.     

The Potential Energies of Cohesion of a Crystalline Organic Enantiomer and the Racemate; on the Energy for the Liquid Racemate [1]

Summary. The cohesion potential energy of the crystal of one enantiomer of ethyl 3-cyano-3-(3,4-dimethyloxyphenyl)-2,2,4-trimethylpentanoate, −47.7 ± 0.1 kJ mol⁻¹ (0–90°C), was found out from the heat of sublimation (123.2 ± 5.1 kJ mol⁻¹, 78.6°C) and the kinetic energies for the gas phase and the crystal. It was found that the entropy function of Debye’s theory of solids mathematically agreed with the vibrational entropy of the gas (variationally obtained), allowing to disclose the vibrational energy using the Debye energy function (E _vib 835.0 kJ mol⁻¹ (78.6°C), E ⁰ included). E _kin for the crystal (771.1 kJ mol⁻¹ (78.6°C)) was obtained by Debye’s theory with the experimental heat capacity. The cohesion energy represented a moderate part of the sublimation energy. The cohesion energy of the racemic crystal, −44.2 kJ mol⁻¹, was obtained by the heat of formation of the crystal in the solid state (3.0 kJ mol⁻¹, 83.3°C) and E _kin for the crystal (by Debye’s theory). The decrease in cohesion on formation of the crystal accounted for the energy of formation. The change in potential energy on liquefaction of the racemate from the gas state was disclosed obtaining added-up E _{vib + rot} for the liquid in the way as to E _vib for the gas, the Debye entropy function being increasedly suited for the liquid (E _{vib + rot} 763.4 kJ mol⁻¹ (115.4°C)). Positive ΔE _pot, 13.0 kJ mol⁻¹, arised from the increase in electronic energy (Δ _l ν_mean − 154.3 cm⁻¹, by the dielectric nature of the liquid), added to the cohesion energy.     

Branched-chain organic compounds. Part 11: Validation of a new method for determination of the potential energy of cohesion of an organic crystal and deduction of the heat capacity of the vapour

Abstract  

The cohesion energy of ethyl 3-cyano-3-(3,4-dimethyloxyphenyl)-2,2,4-trimethylpentanoate, as obtained from the change of kinetic and potential energies in the heat of sublimation of the crystal, E _p,coh = −46.7 kJ mol⁻¹ (78.6 °C), has been validated. A safe physicomathematic test based on the balance of entropy for the sublimation and Planck’s equation for changes of state, extended to entropy, was devised to ascertain the kinetic energies of the crystal and the gas molecule. Entropic equations were developed for the phase equilibrium to find precisely and with simplicity the vibrational energy of the crystal by using the vapour pressure exclusively and independently from the internal rotational and vibrational motion of the gas molecule. The heat capacity of the vapour was determined in this way, which in this case releases the solid allowing vibrational movement in the gas phase to meet the pressure of sublimation, C _p (T)/J K⁻¹ mol⁻¹ = 1.268 T/K + 58.62 (71.1–86.1 °C). An independent variational method of deducing the vibrational entropy, energy, or heat capacity of the gas molecule from each other was compared with the equations and was shown to yield the quantities with high accuracy. Values of the Nernst–Lindemann functions are tabulated.

The heat capacity of crystalline α-platinum dichloride was measured for the first time in the temperature intervals from 11 to 300 K (vacuum adiabatic microcalorimeter) and from 300 to 620 K (differential scanning calorimetry). In the 300–620 K temperature interval, the C° _p values for α-PtCl₂ (cr) coincide with the heat capacity of CrCl₂ (cr) within the limits of experimental error, which made it possible to estimate the heat capacity of α-PtCl₂ (cr) at higher temperatures.

The results of our experimental studies and an analysis of the published data on the rate constant for the reaction Fe + O₂ = FeO + O in the forward (I) and reverse (−I) direction are reported.

Absolute integrated intensities of vapor-phase hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in the mid-infrared at atmospheric pressure

We report quantitative infrared spectra of vapor-phase hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) with all spectra pressure-broadened to atmospheric pressure. The data were generated by injecting a concentrated solution (83%) of H₂O₂ into a gently heated disseminator and diluting it with pure N₂ carrier gas. The water vapor lines were quantitatively subtracted from the resulting spectra to yield the spectrum of pure H₂O₂. The results for the ν₆ band strength (including hot bands) compare favorably with the results of Klee et al. (J Mol. Spectrosc. 195:154, 1999) as well as with the HITRAN values. The present results are 433 and 467 cm^-2 atm⁻¹ (±8 and ±3% as measured at 298 and 323 K, respectively, and reduced to 296 K) for the band strength, matching well the value reported by Klee et al. (S = 467 cm⁻² atm⁻¹ at 296 K) for the integrated band. The ν₁ + ν₅ near-infrared band between 6,900 and 7,200 cm⁻¹ has an integrated intensity S = 26.3 cm⁻² atm⁻¹, larger than previously reported values. Other infrared and near-infrared bands and their potential for atmospheric monitoring are discussed.
