Cooling condensed phase

Diethylene glycol method. Place 0-5 g. of potassium hydroxide pellets, 3 ml. of diethylene glycol and 0 5 ml. of water in a 10 or 25 ml. distilling flask heat the mixture gently until the alkali has dissolved and cool. Add 1-2 g. of the ester and mix well. Fit the flask with a thermometer and a small water-cooled condenser in the usual way. Heat the flask over a small flame whilst shaking gently to mix the contents. When only one liquid phase, or one hquid phase and one solid phase, remains in the flask, heat the mixture more strongly so that the alcohol distils. Identify the alcohol in the distillate by the preparation of the 3 5 dinitrobenzoate (Section 111,27,2). 

Antimony Oxide as a Primary Flame Retardant. Antimony oxide behaves as a condensed-phase flame retardant in cellulosic materials (2). It can be appHed by impregnating a fabric with a soluble antimony salt followed by a second treatment that precipitates antimony oxide in the fibers. When the treated fabric is exposed to a flame, the oxide reacts with the hydroxyl groups of the cellulose (qv) causing them to decompose endothermically. The decomposition products, water and char, cool the flame reactions while slowing the production and volatilization of flammable decomposition products (see Flaa retardants for textiles). 

The extent to which carbon dioxide dissolves is proportional to its partial pressure in the steam phase (Henry s Law). Also, C02 (like most gases) is less soluble in hot condensate than in cool condensate. 

When two metals A and B are melted together and the liquid mixture is then slowly cooled, different equilibrium phases appear as a function of composition and temperature. These equilibrium phases are summarized in a condensed phase diagram. The solid region of a binary phase diagram usually contains one or more intermediate phases, in addition to terminal solid solutions. In solid solutions, the solute atoms may occupy random substitution positions in the host lattice, preserving the crystal structure of the host. Interstitial soHd solutions also exist wherein the significantly smaller atoms occupy interstitial sites... 

In order to record excitation spectra, the radical ions must first be thermalized to the electronic ground state, which happens automatically if they are created in condensed phase (e.g. in noble-gas matrices, see below). In the gas-phase experiments where ionization is effected by collision with excited argon atoms (Penning ionization), the unexcited argon atoms serve as a heat bath which may even be cooled to 77 K if desired. After thermalization, excitation spectra may be obtained by laser-induced fluorescence. 

Another mass flow term could be due to evaporation, e.g. water cooling from a sprinkler or that of gaseous fuel degradation from the condensed phase. From Chapter 9, we can easily deduce that... 

Let us first consider how the density of the condensed phase changes with temperature. As our material in the vapour phase is cooled at constant pressure the density increases until the boiling point is reached. Further cooling then allows us to differentiate between the vapour and liquid states by the formation of a boundary. Further cooling increases the liquid density but at a much slower rate than that of the gaseous phase. The density of many liquids can be described by a simple linear equation over a wide temperature range 5... 

Volatile substances of which the vapours, on cooling, condense directly to crystals without passing through the liquid phase are sometimes advantageously purified by sublimation, particularly when solubility relations render recrystallisation difficult. The purification of iodine is a well-known case in point. In organic chemistry this process is particularly suitable for quinones. 

The previous description illustrates well the complications that may arise in second law studies when phase and reaction equilibria occur simultaneously. A number of assumptions are usually made, some of which may influence the final thermochemical results. For instance, it is possible that the equilibrium concentration of hydrogen obtained in the study by Bercaw and co-workers is not very accurate, because no may be underestimated (the cooling to — 196 °C will increase the amount of H2 in the condensed phase). Nevertheless, this error, which is constant for all the measurements at different temperatures (average T = 316 K), will probably have a negligible effect on the calculated Ar//j16 and Ar,V) l6 values, 28.3 1.9 kJ mol-1 and —5.3 6.1 J K-1 mol-1, respectively. These values were obtained from equation 14.20, which is a linear fit of the... 

Although this book is devoted to molecular fluorescence in condensed phases, it is worth mentioning the relevance of fluorescence spectroscopy in supersonic jets (Ito et al., 1988). A gas expanded through an orifice from a high-pressure region into a vacuum is cooled by the well-known Joule-Thomson effect. During expansion, collisions between the gas molecules lead to a dramatic decrease in their translational velocities. Translational temperatures of 1 K or less can be attained in this way. The supersonic jet technique is an alternative low-temperature approach to the solid-phase methods described in Section 3.5.2 all of them have a common aim of improving the spectral resolution. 

Extract the aqueous phase with six 250-m portions of methylene chloride wash the solid cake with three of the portions prior to their use on the solution. Dry the combined extracts over 40 g of anhydrous magnesium sulfate and inhibit with 0.5 g of hydroquinone. Remove the drying agent by filtration and strip the methylene chloride by distillation at atmospheric pressure remove final traces of this solvent by stripping at 20 mm pressure and room temperature. Then separate the mixture of crude vinyl isomers by distillation at reduced pressure. By heating to a pot temperature of 90°C, the 2-methyl-5-vinyltetrazole is conveniently and almost completely removed at 1.0 mm pressure. A well cooled condenser and a receiver chilled in an ice-water bath are needed to prevent loss of the condensate. The weight of once distilled 2-isomer is 89.9 g the index of refraction at 25°C is 1.4814, corresponding to a purity of 97.2 percent. The corrected yield amounts to... 

In Figure 8.1 Notz notes that the gas begins to warm (from mile 30 to mile 45) with shallower, warmer water conditions. From mile 45 to mile 50, however, a second cooling trend is observed due to Joule-Thomson expansion. The methanol exiting the pipeline in the vapor, aqueous, and condensate phases is usually not recovered, due to the expense of separation. 

There are several possible flow scheme variations involved for this process. It can operate as an independent unit or be used in conjunction with a thermal conversion unit (Figure 9-25). In this configuration, hydrogen and a vacuum residuum are introduced separately to the heater, and mixed at the entrance to the reactor. T o avoid thermal reactions and premature coking of the catalyst, temperatures are carefully controlled and conversion is limited to approximately 70% of the total projected conversion. The removal of sulfur, heptane-insoluble materials, and metals is accomplished in the reactor. The effluent from the reactor is directed to the hot separator. The overhead vapor phase is cooled, condensed, and the hydrogen separated from there is recycled to the reactor. 

The reactor was charged with coal (50 g dry basis) and solvent (600 ml) and heated (7°C min- ). When the temperature reached 300°C, solvent (1 1 h 1) was pumped via a dip tube, which acts as a preheater, into the bottom of the reactor and through the coal bed. A 15 micron filter was placed in the exit line. The pressure was controlled by adjusting throttling valves and the gaseous phase was condensed by a water-cooled condenser.
