Investigation of the vaporization of boric acid by transpiration thermogravimetry and knudsen effusion mass spectrometry

The vaporization of H3BO3(s) was studied by using a commercial thermogravimetric apparatus and a Knudsen effusion mass spectrometer. The thermogravimetric measurements involved use of argon as the carrier gas for vapor transport and derivation of vapor pressures of H3BO3(g) in the temperature range 315-352 K through many flow dependence and temperature dependence runs. The vapor pressures as well as the enthalpy of sublimation obtained in this study represent the first results from measurements at low temperatures that are in accord with the previously reported near-classical transpiration measurements (by Stackelberg et al. 70 years ago) at higher temperatures (382-413 K with steam as the carrier gas). The KEMS measurements performed for the first time on boric acid showed H3BO3(g) as the principal vapor species with no meaningful information discernible on H2O(g) though. The thermodynamic parameters, both p(H3BO3) and Delta sub H degrees m(H3BO3,g), deduced from KEMS results in the temperature range 295-342 K are in excellent agreement with the transpiration results lending further credibility to the latter. All this information points toward congruent vaporization at the H3BO3 composition in the H2O-B2O3 binary system. The vapor pressures obtained from transpiration (this study and that of Stackelberg et al.) as well as from KEMS measurements are combined to recommend the following: log [p(H3BO3)/Pa]=-(5199+/-74)/(T/K)+(15.65+/-0.23), valid for T=295-413 K; and Delta sub H degrees m=98.3+/-9.5 kJ mol (-1) at T=298 K for H3BO3(s)=H3BO3(g).

A linear comprehensive adsorption model of hydrogen on super activated carbon under supercritical conditions

The adsorption isotherms of hydrogen on super activated carbon were measured systematically, covering a temperature range of 93-293 K at 20 K intervals and pressures up to 7 MPa. All the experimental data were linearized by adopting the coordinates ln ln(n) vs 1/(ln P). The results indicate that the adsorption limit (P(lim), n(lim)) exists virtually at high pressure and has a certain physical meaning. Based on the adsorption limit, further analyses were carried out by modeling the adsorption isotherms in the coordinates ln(n(lim)/n) vs ln(RT(ln(P(lim)/P) and a linear comprehensive adsorption model was proposed in the form n (lim)=n.exp(psi T+lambda/T-c/) (beta).[RT ln( P (lim)P )] (b) which can predict the adsorption isotherm of hydrogen on activated carbon in supercritical conditions.     

Recommended sublimation pressure and enthalpy of benzene

Recommended vapor pressures of solid benzene (CAS Registry Number: 71-43-2) which are consistent with thermodynamically related crystalline and ideal-gas heat capacities as well as with properties of the liquid phase at the triple point temperature (vapor pressure, enthalpy of vaporization) were established. The recommended data were developed by a multi-property simultaneous correlation of vapor pressures and related thermal data. Vapor pressures measured in this work using the static method in the temperature range from 233 K to 260 K, covering pressure range from 99 Pa to 1230 Pa, were included in the simultaneous correlation. The enthalpy of sublimation was established with uncertainty significantly lower than the previously recommended values.     

Vapor pressure and density of thermotropic liquid crystals: MBBA, 5CB, and novel fluorinated mesogens

The vapor pressures and densities of six thermotropic liquid crystal-forming molecules (mesogens) have been determined experimentally as functions of temperature. The ubiquitous mesogenic compounds n-(4-methoxybenzylidene)-4-butylaniline (MBBA) and 4'-cyano-4-n-pentylbiphenyl (5CB), which both exhibit room-temperature nematic phases, are examined in this study, as are a number of trifluorinated bicyclohexyl and cyclohexylbiphenyl derivatives which find modern use in display applications. Although thermotropic mesogens are of prime importance in modern optoelectronic technologies, there is a scarcity of reliable saturation pressure data for such systems. An apparatus suitable for measurements of vapor pressures between 0.1 and 1333 Pa in the temperature range 298-523 K has been constructed. The adequacy of the apparatus has been verified by measurements on n-hexadecane at temperatures between 304 and 372 K, corresponding to vapor pressures between 0.4 and approximately 100 Pa. To our knowledge, our measurements represent the first reliable data for the saturation pressure of the fluid phase of these types of thermotropic compounds; we show that existing data for MBBA is thermodynamically inconsistent. The densities of the fluid phases of these compounds are also measured by means of a glass pycnometer at temperatures between 293 and 368 K.     

Evaporation of a sub-micrometer droplet

Evaporation of a spherically symmetric sub-micrometer size liquid droplet is studied using a diffuse interface hydrodynamic model supplemented by the van der Waals equation of state with parameters characteristic for argon. The droplet, surrounded by saturated vapor, is held in a container with the temperature of the walls kept fixed. The evaporation is triggered by a sudden rise of the temperature of the walls. Time and space evolution of the basic thermodynamic quantities is presented. The time and space scales studied range from picoseconds to microseconds and from nanometers to micrometers, respectively. We find that the temperature and chemical potential are both continuous at the interface on the scale larger than the interfacial width. We find that at long times the radius R of the droplet changes with time t as R(2)(t) = R(2)(0) - 2tkappa(v)(T(w) - T(l))/ln(l), where kappa(v) is the heat conductivity of the vapor, n(l) and T(l) are the density and the temperature of liquid inside the droplet, respectively, l is the latent heat of transition per molecule, and T(w) is the temperature of the ambient vapor.     

Thermodynamic study on the sublimation of diphenyl and triphenyl substituted acetic and propanoic acids

Knudsen mass-loss effusion technique was used for measuring the vapor pressures at different temperatures of the following crystalline compounds: diphenylacetic acid, between 357.27 and 379.08 K; triphenylacetic acid, between 418.98 and 436.97 K; 2,2-diphenylpropanoic acid, between 366.08 and 386.00 K; 3,3-diphenylpropanoic acid, between 366.09 and 386.03 K; 3,3,3-triphenylpropanoic acid, between 402.17 and 420.10 K. From the temperature dependence of the vapor pressure of each crystalline compound, the standard (p ⁰ = 10⁵ Pa) molar enthalpies and Gibbs energies of sublimation, at T = 298.15 K, were derived. The measured thermodynamic properties are compared with literature results for phenylacetic and phenylpropanoic acids and correlations for estimation of the vapor pressures from the enthalpy of sublimation and the temperature of fusion of these and other compounds are presented.     

Spectrophotometric determination of dissociation constants for propionic acid and 2,5-dinitrophenol at elevated temperatures

Using the temperature dependence of pK_a for acetic acid, the pK_a for 2,5-dinitrophenol have been spectrophotometrically determined in acetate buffer at elevated temperatures under the saturation vapor pressures. For 2,5-dinitrophenol $$pK_a = - 33.206 + 2106.7/T + 5.495\ln T$$ where T is in Kelvin. Similarly, pK_a values of propionic acid were obtained at temperatures from 25°C to 175°C producing $$pK_a = - 43.703 + 2128.6/T + 7.2686\ln T$$ From this result, several thermodynamic functions of propionic acid were calculated and compared with those obtained from emf measurement.     

Grand canonical Monte Carlo simulation for determination of optimum parameters for adsorption of supercritical methane in pillared layered pores

A grand canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) method is carried out to determine optimum adsorptive storage pressures of supercritical methane in pillared layered pores. In the simulation, the pillared layered pore is modeled by a uniform distribution of pillars between two solid walls. Methane is described as a spherical Lennard-Jones molecule, and Steele's 10-4-3 potential is used for representing the interaction between the fluid and a layered wall. The site-site interaction is also used for calculating the interaction energy between methane molecules and pillars. An effective potential model that reflects the characteristics of a real pillared layered material is proposed here. In the model, a binary interaction parameter, k(fw), is introduced into the combining rule for the cross-energy parameter for the interaction between the fluid and a layered wall. Based on the experimental results for the Zr-pillared material synthesized and characterized by Boksh, Kikkinides, and Yang, the binary interaction parameter, k(fw), is determined by fitting the simulation results to the experimental adsorption data of nitrogen at 77 K. Then, by taking it as a model of pillared layered material, a series of GCMC simulations have been carried out. The excess adsorption isotherms of methane in a pillared layered pore with three different pore widths and porosities are obtained at three supercritical temperatures T=207.3, 237.0, and 266.6 K. Based on the simulation results at different porosities, various pore widths and different supercritical temperatures, the pillared layered pore with porosity psi=0.94 and pore width hsigma(p)=1.02 nm is recommended as adsorption storage material of supercritical methane. Moreover, the optimum adsorption pressure is determined at a given temperature and a fixed width of the pillared layered pore. For example, at temperature T=207.3 K, the optimum adsorption pressures are 3.1, 3.7, and 4.5 M Pa at H=1.02, 1.70, and 2.38 nm, respectively. In summary, the GCMC method is a useful tool for optimizing adsorption storage of supercritical methane in pillared layered material.     

Vapor pressure and activity of components of melts formed by manganese chloride and chlorides of alkaline-earth metals

The boiling points of melts were measured at different pressures over the melts for certain concentrations of components of the liquid phase in binary systems constituted by manganese chloride and chlorides of alkaline-earth metals. The temperature dependences of the saturated vapor pressure, normal boiling points, and enthalpies of evaporation were calculated. The concentration dependences of the thermodynamic activities of the components of four binary systems were analyzed.     

Determination of the saturation vapor pressure of silicon by Knudsen cell mass spectrometry

Silicon evaporation has been investigated by high-temperature mass spectrometry, and the saturation vapor pressure of silicon over its melt has been determined over the temperature range from 1739 and 2326 K. The saturation vapor pressure data obtained via silicon evaporation from Knudsen cells made of molybdenum, tungsten, molybdenum disilicide-lined molybdenum, and graphite silicided by the gas-phase method are compared. Among these materials, silicided graphite is the most inert toward silicon vapor. The silicon partial pressures measured in the silicided graphite cell are close to the recommended values.     

Experimental and computational studies on the molecular energetics of chlorobenzophenones

The standard (p degrees = 0.1 MPa) molar enthalpies of formation, Delta(f)H(m)degrees, of crystalline 2-, 3- and 4-chlorobenzophenone and 4,4'-dichlorobenzophenone were derived from the standard molar energies of combustion, Delta(c)U(m)degrees, in oxygen, to yield CO(2)(g), N(2)(g), and HCl x 600H(2)O(l), at T = 298.15 K, measured by rotating bomb combustion calorimetry. The Calvet high-temperature vacuum sublimation technique was used to measure the enthalpy of sublimation, Delta(cr)(g)H(m)degrees, of the compound 2-chlorobenzophenone. For the other three compounds, the standard molar enthalpies of sublimation, at T = 298.15 K were derived by the Clausius-Clapeyron equation, from the temperature dependence of the vapor pressures of these compounds, measured by the Knudsen-effusion technique. From the values of Delta(f)H(m)degrees and Delta(cr)(g)H(m)degrees, the standard molar enthalpies of formation of all the compounds, in the gaseous phase, Delta(f)H(m)degrees (g), at T = 298.15 K, were derived. These values were also calculated by using the B3LYP/6-311+G(2d,2p)//B3LYP/6-31G(d) computational approach.     

Absolute line intensities for formic acid and dissociation constant of the dimer

Absolute line intensities in the nu(6) and nu(8) interacting bands of trans-HCOOH, observed near 1105.4 and 1033.5 cm(-1), respectively, and the dissociation constant of the formic acid dimer (HCOOH)(2) have been measured using Fourier transform spectroscopy at a resolution of 0.002 cm(-1). Eleven spectra of formic acid, at 296.0(5) K and pressures ranging from 14.28(25) to 314.0(24) Pa, have been recorded between 600 and 1900 cm(-1) with an absorption path length of 19.7(2) cm. 437 integrated absorption coefficients have been measured for 72 lines in the nu(6) band. Analysis of the pressure dependence yielded the dissociation constant of the formic acid dimer, K(p)=361(45) Pa, and the absolute intensity of the 72 lines of HCOOH. The accuracy of these results was carefully estimated. The absolute intensities of four lines of the weak nu(8) band were also measured. Using an appropriate theory, the integrated intensity of the nu(6) and nu(8) bands was determined to be 3.47 x 10(-17) and 4.68 x 10(-19) cm(-1)(molecule cm(-2)) respectively, at 296 K. Both the dissociation constant and integrated intensities were compared to earlier measurements.     

Homogeneous nucleation of n-propanol, n-butanol, and n-pentanol in a supersonic nozzle

We have measured the nucleation conditions of n-propanol, n-butanol, and n-pentanol in a supersonic Laval nozzle, and estimated that the maximum nucleation rate J is 5 x 10(16) cm(-3) s(-1) with an uncertainty factor of 2. Plotting the vapor pressures p(J(max) ) and temperatures T(J(max) ) corresponding to the maximum nucleation rate as ln(p) versus 1T, produces a series of well separated straight lines. When these values are scaled by their respective critical parameters, p(c) and T(c), the data lie close to a single straight line. Comparing the experimental data to the predictions of classical nucleation theory reveals much higher experimental rates, and the deviation increases with increasing alcohol chain length and decreasing temperature. A scaling analysis in terms of Hale's scaled nucleation model [Phys. Rev. A 33, 4156 (1986); Metall. Trans. A 23, 1863 (1992)], clearly shows that our data are consistent with experimental nucleation rates measured using other devices that have characteristic rates many orders of magnitude lower.

Monte carlo simulation of carboxylic acid phase equilibria

Configurational-bias Monte Carlo simulations were carried out in the Gibbs ensemble to generate phase equilibrium data for several carboxylic acids. Pure component coexistence densities and saturated vapor pressures were determined for acetic acid, propanoic acid, 2-methylpropanoic acid, and pentanoic acid, and binary vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE) data for the propanoic acid + pentanoic acid and 2-methylpropanoic acid + pentanoic acid systems. The TraPPE-UA force field was used, as it has recently been extended to include parameters for carboxylic acids. To simulate the branched compound 2-methylpropanoic acid, certain minor assumptions were necessary regarding angle and torsion terms involving the -CH- pseudo-atom, since parameters for these terms do not exist in the TraPPE-UA force field. The pure component data showed good agreement with the available experimental data, particularly with regard to the saturated liquid densities (mean absolute errors were less than 1.1%). On average, the predicted critical temperature and density were within 1% of the experimental values. All of the binary simulations showed good agreement with the experimental x-y data. However, the TraPPE-UA force field predicts saturated vapor pressures of pure components that are larger than the experimental values, and consequently the P-x-y and T-x-y data of the binary systems also deviate from the measured data.     

Standard enthalpies of the formation of malonic acid and products of its dissociation in an aqueous solution

Enthalpies of the dissolution of malonic acid in aqueous solutions of perchloric acid and sodium perchlorate were measured at ionic strength I = 1.0; 1.5; 2.0; 2.5 mol/l and T = 298.15 K by calorimetry. The standard enthalpies of the formation of malonic acid and the products of its dissociation in a aqueous solution were calculated.     

Some thermodynamic properties of benzocaine

The vaporization enthalpy of benzocaine, ethyl 4-aminobenzoate, has been evaluated using correlation gas chromatography at 298.15 K. The temperature dependence of retention time has also been used to evaluate the vapor pressure of the sub-cooled liquid from 298.15 K to the fusion temperature, 365.2 K, by correlation with the vapor pressures of the compounds used as standards. The vaporization enthalpy calculated from the vapor pressures of benzocaine at the melting point was combined with the experimental fusion enthalpy to evaluate the sublimation enthalpy at the fusion temperature. Application of the Clausius–Clapeyron equation together with the vapor pressure common to both phases permitted calculation of the vapor pressure of the solid at 298.15 K. Similar calculations were performed for two of the standards that were solids for comparisons with experimental data. Vaporization and sublimation enthalpies of (91.8 ± 4.2) and (112.9 ± 4.3) kJ mol^?1 are calculated for benzocaine at 298.15 K as are vapor pressures of 0.0083 and 0.0018 Pa for the sub-cooled liquid and crystalline material, respectively.     

Sound attenuation, shear viscosity, and mutual diffusivity behavior in the nitroethane-cyclohexane critical mixture

The shear viscosity eta(s), mutual diffusion coefficient D, and ultrasonic attenuation spectra of the nitroethane-cyclohexane mixture of critical composition have been measured at various temperatures near the critical temperature T(c). The relaxation rate of order parameter fluctuations resulting from a combined evaluation of the eta(s) and D data follows power law behavior with the theoretical exponent and with the large amplitude Gamma(o)=(156+/-2)x10(9) s(-1). The ultrasonic spectra have been evaluated in terms of a critical contribution and a noncritical background contribution. The amplitude of the former exhibits a temperature dependence, in conformity with a temperature dependence in the adiabatic coupling constant (|g| = 0.064 near T(c) and 0.1 at T-T(c)=3 K). If the variation of the critical amplitude with T is taken into account the experimental attenuation coefficient data display a scaling function which nicely fits to the theoretical prediction from the Bhattacharjee-Ferrell dynamic scaling model [R. A. Ferrell and J. K. Bhattacharjee, Phys. Rev. A 31, 1788 (1985)].     

Solubility of tetrafluoromethane in the ionic liquid [hmim][Tf2N

Experimental results for the solubility of tetrafluoromethane (CF4, R14) in the ionic liquid 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide ([hmim][Tf2N]) are presented for temperatures between 293.3 and 413.3 K, at pressures (gas molalities) up to 9.6 MPa (0.22 mol kg-1). The experimental results were determined with a high-pressure view-cell technique operating on the synthetic method. The experimental data were used to determine Henry's constant of tetrafluoromethane in [hmim][Tf2N]. The results for the Henry's constant (at zero pressure) are correlated (on the molality scale) within the experimental uncertainty (i.e., about 1.1%) by ln(k(0)(H,CF4)/MPa) = 7.537 - 893.8/(T/K) - 0.003977(T/K). Henry's law was also extended to describe the gas solubility at higher pressures. Furthermore, a cubic equation of state was used to correlate the gas solubility over the entire range of experimentally investigated temperature and pressure. Both methods proved suited for a reliable correlation of the new experimental data.
