And vapour

At z in the curve, however (the minimum of vapour pressure), the solution and vapour are in equilibrium and the liquid at this point will distil without any change in composition. The mixture at z is said to be azeotropic or a constant boiling mixture. The composition of the azeotropic mixture does vary with pressure. 

In this section we describe hydrocarbon processing in preparation for evacuation, either from a production platform or land based facilities. In simple terms this means splitting the hydrocarbon well stream into liquid and vapour phases and treating each phase so... 

Below T, liquid and vapour coexist and their densities approach each other along the coexistence curve in the T-Vplane until they coincide at the critical temperature T. The coexisting densities in the critical region are related to T-T by the power law...

The aqueous solution has a low conductivity, indicating that mercury(II) chloride dissolves essentially as molecules Cl—Hg—Cl and these linear molecules are found in the solid and vapour. A solution of mercury(II) chloride is readily reduced, for example by tin(ll) chloride, to give first white insoluble mercury(I) chloride and then a black metallic deposit of mercury, The complexes formed from mercury(II) chloride are considered below.

To understand the conditions which control sublimation, it is necessary to study the solid - liquid - vapour equilibria. In Fig. 1,19, 1 (compare Fig. 1,10, 1) the curve T IF is the vapour pressure curve of the liquid (i.e., it represents the conditions of equilibrium, temperature and pressure, for a system of liquid and vapour), and TS is the vapour pressure curve of the solid (i.e., the conditions under which the vapour and solid are in equili-hrium). The two curves intersect at T at this point, known as the triple point, solid, liquid and vapour coexist. The curve TV represents the... 

Rubber stoppers are frequently employed in the laboratory in vacuum distiUation assemblies (compare Section 11,19) for distillations under atmospheric pressure bark corks are generally used. Many organic liquids and vapours dissolve new rubber stoppers slightly and cause them to swell. In practice, it is found that rubber stoppers which have been previously used on one or two occasions are not appreciably attacked by most organic solvents, owing presumably... 

A satisfactory bath suitable for temperatures up to about 250° may be prepared by mixing four parts by weight of 85 per cent, ortho-phosphoric acid and one part by weight of meta-phosphoric acid the mixed components should first be heated slowly to 260° and held at this temperature imtil evolution of steam and vapours has ceased. This bath is liquid at room temperatures. For temperatures up to 340°, a mixture of two parts of 85 per cent, ortho-phosphoric acid and one part of meta-phosphoric acid may be used this is solid (or very viscous) at about 20°. 

The leagent may also be prepared by dissolving 1 ml. of phenylhydrazine in a solution of 1 ml. of glacial acetic acid and 10 ml. of water. This procedure is not so convenient as that from the solid hydrochloride becaiise of the poisonous character of phenylhydrazine (both liquid and vapour). If the liquid is accidentally spilled on the skin, wash it at once with dilute acetic acid, followed by soap and water.

Oil in BOCB or MOCB This decomposes into vapourized and dissociated hydrocarbon, which in turn ionizes into H2 and other gases and vapours. Ht constitutes around 70% of all the gases and vapours produced. 

Air in ACB or ABCB This ionizes into Ni. Ot and vapours Ni constitutes most of it. 

Refer to the general arrangement of this breaker in Figure 19.4. In this device the moving contacts make and break in an oil bath. When the arc is formed during an interruption, the oil becomes decomposed due to excessive heat, and produces a few gases and vapours such as H2... 

The boiling point of a liquid varies with the atmospheric pressure to which it is exposed. A liquid boils when its vapour pressure is the same as the external pressure on its surface, its normal boiling point being the temperature at which its vapour pressure is equal to that of a standard atmosphere (760mm Hg). Lowering the external pressure lowers the boiling point. For most substances, boiling point and vapour pressure are related by an equation of the form. 

In most cases, systems deviate to a greater or lesser extent from Raoult s law, and vapour pressures may be greater or less than the values calculated. In extreme cases (e.g. azeotropes), vapour pressure-composition curves pass through maxima or minima, so that attempts at fractional distillation lead finally to the separation of a constantboiling (azeotropic) mixture and one (but not both) of the pure species if either of the latter is present in excess. 

Figure 16.1 shows part of a steel tank which came from a road tank vehicle. The tank consisted of a cylindrical shell about 6 m long. A hemispherical cap was welded to each end of the shell with a circumferential weld. The tank was used to transport liquid ammonia. In order to contain the liquid ammonia the pressure had to be equal to the saturation pressure (the pressure at which a mixture of liquid and vapour is in equilibrium). The saturation pressure increases rapidly with temperature at 20°C the absolute pressure is 8.57 bar at 50°C it is 20.33 bar. The gauge pressure at 50°C is 19.33 bar, or 1.9MN m . Because of this the tank had to function as a pressure vessel. The maximum operating pressure was 2.07 MN m" gauge. This allowed the tank to be used safely to 50°C, above the maximum temperature expected in even a hot climate.
