Preparation of Emulsions. For this purpose we used the assembly described by Bartholom6 et al. (6) all parts of the apparatus could be flushed with argon. Water, monomers, and emulsifier were vigorously agitated for 15 minutes. Ac-...

Atmospheric measurements are also challenging because they must deal with low to extremely low concentrations of trace chemical species. The major components (>99.999%) of the lowest portions of the atmosphere (the troposphere up to 10 km in altitude and the stratosphere between 10 and 50 km) are molecular nitrogen, molecular oxygen, argon, water vapor, and carbon dioxide. Chemists will recognize that all of these species are very stable, strongly bonded molecules or atoms that are essentially inert gases at normal atmospheric temperatures (190-310 K). Indeed, without solar photons to break up selected molecules, atmospheric chemistry would be very dull indeed.

The range of the power law applicability is limited to a given set of a (or co) values. In most cases, the smallest value of a is for argon, water vapor or nitrogen thus, these molecules are the most frequently used in adsorption experiments. Unless polymer molecules are used, the range of available molecular sizes is rather small. Furthermore, molecules in the gas phase may not be able to reach all the vacant adsorption sites. For example, if the path involves a linear extension smaller than the dimension of the molecule (bottle neck), then the measured An will be smaller than the value that would have been obtained if molecules were able to cross the bottle neck. In conclusion, the value of A reflects an effective geometry as seen by the specific set of adsorbed molecules. 

Now we have to look at air as a mixture of gases. Indeed, there is nitrogen, oxygen, argon, water vapor, and other gases and vapors in the air. Each of these is a part, a fraction of the total. How big a fraction If all of the air were just O2 then the fraction of O2 would be 100%/100% = 1. But you know it is less than that you are given the numbers which tell you what is the fraction of O2 in the air. Check a textbook and find the Dalton law of partial pressures. It says that the total pressure is a sum of partial pressures ... 

All compounds, potassium oxalate, sodium oxalate, sodium sulfide, sodium salicylate and salicylic acid, were purchased from Acros, Fluka or Protabo and used without further purification. Pyrrole (Acros) was distilled twice under argon. Water was purified by passing dirough a Millipore purification system.

Air is the natural atmosphere of the earth—a nonflammable, colorless, odorless gas that consists of a mixture of gaseous elements (with argon, water vapor, a small amount of carbon dioxide, and traces of many other constituents). Synthesized air is produced by combining pure oxygen and nitrogen. It contains between 19.5 percent and 23.5 percent oxygen, with the balance nitrogen and with a major portion of the other components eliminated. Dry air is noncorrosive. Liquefied air is transparent with a bluish cast and has a milky color when it contains carbon dioxide. 

Curve (e) in Figure 1.9 (a) shows the critical locus for a very extreme form of Class B system which is probably of little importance in the present context. This type of system shows so-called gas/gas immiscibility of the first kind and occurs when the interactions between the unlike molecules are very weak. One example is argon/water other examples appear to be virtually confined to helium-containing systems [16].
