During the nineteenth century the growth of thermodynamics and the development of the kinetic theory marked the beginning of an era in which the physical sciences were given a quantitative foundation. In the laboratory, extensive researches were carried out to determine the effects of pressure and temperature on the rates of chemical reactions and to measure the physical properties of matter. Work on the critical properties of carbon dioxide and on the continuity of state by van der Waals provided the stimulus for accurate measurements on the compressibiUty of gases and Hquids at what, in 1885, was a surprisingly high pressure of 300 MPa (- 3,000 atmor 43,500 psi). This pressure was not exceeded until about 1912. 

A significant advantage of the PLM is in the differentiation and recognition of various forms of the same chemical substance polymorphic forms, eg, brookite, mtile, and anatase, three forms of titanium dioxide calcite, aragonite and vaterite, all forms of calcium carbonate Eorms I, II, III, and IV of HMX (a high explosive), etc. This is an important appHcation because most elements and compounds possess different crystal forms with very different physical properties. PLM is the only instmment mandated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for the detection and identification of the six forms of asbestos (qv) and other fibers in bulk samples. 

A polysulfone is characterized by the presence of the sulfone group as part of its repeating unit. Polysulfones may be aUphatic or aromatic. AUphatic polysulfones (R and are alkyl groups) were synthesized by radical-induced copolymerization of olefins and sulfur dioxide and characterized many years ago. However, they never demonstrated significant practical utiUty due to their relatively unattractive physical properties, not withstanding the low cost of their raw materials (1,2). The polysulfones discussed in this article are those based on an aromatic backbone stmcture. The term polysulfones is used almost exclusively to denote aromatic polysulfones. 

Properties. Sulfolane [126-33-0] C4HgS02 (1), also known as tetrahydrothiophene-1,1-dioxide and tetramethylene sulfone, is a colorless, highly polar, water-soluble compound. Physical properties are given ia Table 1 (1). 

Physical Properties. Sulfuryl chloride [7791-25-5] SO2CI2, is a colorless to light yellow Hquid with a pungent odor. Physical and thermodynamic properties are Hsted ia Table 7. Sulfuryl chloride dissolves sulfur dioxide, bromine, iodine, and ferric chloride. Various quaternary alkyl ammonium salts dissolve ia sulfuryl chloride to produce highly conductive solutions. Sulfuryl chloride is miscible with acetic acid and ether but not with hexane (193,194). 

Physical Properties. Sulfur dioxide [7446-09-5] SO2, is a colorless gas with a characteristic pungent, choking odor. Its physical and thermodynamic properties ate Hsted in Table 8. Heat capacity, vapor pressure, heat of vaporization, density, surface tension, viscosity, thermal conductivity, heat of formation, and free energy of formation as functions of temperature ate available (213), as is a detailed discussion of the sulfur dioxide—water system (215). 

Physical Properties. Sodium metabisulfite (sodium pyrosulfite, sodium bisulfite (a misnomer)), Na2S20, is a white granular or powdered salt (specific gravity 1.48) and is storable when kept dry and protected from air. In the presence of traces of water it develops an odor of sulfur dioxide and in moist air it decomposes with loss of part of its SO2 content and by oxidation to sodium sulfate. Dry sodium metabisulfite is more stable to oxidation than dry sodium sulfite. At low temperatures, sodium metabisulfite forms hydrates with 6 and 7 moles of water. The solubiHty of sodium metabisulfite in water is 39.5 wt % at 20°C, 41.6 wt % at 40°C, and 44.6 wt % at 60°C (340). Sodium metabisulfite is fairly soluble in glycerol and slightly soluble in alcohol. 

Physical Properties. Ammonium thiocyanate [1762-95-4] NH SCN, is a hygroscopic crystalline soHd which deHquesces at high humidities (375,376). It melts at 149°C with partial isomerization to thiourea. It is soluble in water to the extent of 65 wt % at 25°C and 77 wt % at 60°C. It is also soluble to 35 wt % in methanol and 20 wt % in ethanol at 25°C. It is highly soluble in Hquid ammonia and Hquid sulfur dioxide, and moderately soluble in acetonitrile. 

Further heating to 440—500°C gives sodium sulfide and sulfur dioxide (33). Table 1. Physical Properties of Sodium Thiosulfate Pentahydrate... 

Alkaline-Earth Titanates. Some physical properties of representative alkaline-earth titanates ate Hsted in Table 15. The most important apphcations of these titanates are in the manufacture of electronic components (109). The most important member of the class is barium titanate, BaTi03, which owes its significance to its exceptionally high dielectric constant and its piezoelectric and ferroelectric properties. Further, because barium titanate easily forms solid solutions with strontium titanate, lead titanate, zirconium oxide, and tin oxide, the electrical properties can be modified within wide limits. Barium titanate may be made by, eg, cocalcination of barium carbonate and titanium dioxide at ca 1200°C. With the exception of Ba2Ti04, barium orthotitanate, titanates do not contain discrete TiO ions but ate mixed oxides. Ba2Ti04 has the P-K SO stmcture in which distorted tetrahedral TiO ions occur. 

Titanium Silicides. The titanium—silicon system includes Ti Si, Ti Si, TiSi, and TiSi (154). Physical properties are summarized in Table 18. Direct synthesis by heating the elements in vacuo or in a protective atmosphere is possible. In the latter case, it is convenient to use titanium hydride instead of titanium metal. Other preparative methods include high temperature electrolysis of molten salt baths containing titanium dioxide and alkalifluorosiUcate (155) reaction of TiCl, SiCl, and H2 at ca 1150°C, using appropriate reactant quantities for both TiSi and TiSi2 (156) and, for Ti Si, reaction between titanium dioxide and calcium siUcide at ca 1200°C, followed by dissolution of excess lime and calcium siUcate in acetic acid. 

Some values of physical properties of CO2 appear in Table 1. An excellent pressure—enthalpy diagram (a large Mohier diagram) over 260 to 773 K and 70—20,000 kPa (10—2,900 psi) is available (1). The thermodynamic properties of saturated carbon dioxide vapor and Hquid from 178 to the critical point,... 

Physical Properties. Aqueous chloric acid is a clear, colorless solution stable when cold up to ca 40 wt % (1). Upon heating, chlorine [7782-50-5] CI2, and chlorine dioxide [10049-04-4] CIO2, may evolve. Concentration of chloric acid by evaporation may be carried to >40% under reduced pressure. Decomposition at concentrations in excess of 40% is accompanied by evolution of chlorine and oxygen [7782-44-7] and the formation of perchloric acid [7601-90-3], HOCl, in proportions approximating those shown in equation 1. 

The cryogens encountered in greatest volume include oxygen, nitrogen, argon and carbon dioxide. Their physical properties are summarized in Table 8.4.
