Here, r is positive and there is thus an increased vapor pressure. In the case of water, P/ is about 1.001 if r is 10" cm, 1.011 if r is 10" cm, and 1.114 if r is 10 cm or 100 A. The effect has been verified experimentally for several liquids [20], down to radii of the order of 0.1 m, and indirect measurements have verified the Kelvin equation for R values down to about 30 A [19]. The phenomenon provides a ready explanation for the ability of vapors to supersaturate. The formation of a new liquid phase begins with small clusters that may grow or aggregate into droplets. In the absence of dust or other foreign surfaces, there will be an activation energy for the formation of these small clusters corresponding to the increased free energy due to the curvature of the surface (see Section IX-2). 

The visible crystals that develop during a crystallization procedure are built up as a result of growth either on nuclei of the material itself or surfaces of foreign material serving the same purpose. Neglecting for the moment the matter of impurities, nucleation theory provides an explanation for certain qualitative observations in the case of solutions. 

Neumann and co-workers have used the term engulfrnent to describe what can happen when a foreign particle is overtaken by an advancing interface such as that between a freezing solid and its melt. This effect arises in floatation processes described in Section Xni-4A. Experiments studying engulfrnent have been useful to test semiempirical theories for interfacial tensions [25-27] and have been used to estimate the surface tension of cells [28] and the interfacial tension between ice and water [29]. 

Many solids have foreign atoms or molecular groupings on their surfaces that are so tightly held that they do not really enter into adsorption-desorption equilibrium and so can be regarded as part of the surface structure. The partial surface oxidation of carbon blacks has been mentioned as having an important influence on their adsorptive behavior (Section X-3A) depending on conditions, the oxidized surface may be acidic or basic (see Ref. 61), and the surface pattern of the carbon rings may be affected [62]. As one other example, the chemical nature of the acidic sites of silica-alumina catalysts has been a subject of much discussion. The main question has been whether the sites represented Brpnsted (proton donor) or Lewis (electron-acceptor) acids. Hall...

Influence of added substances upon the critical solution temperature. For a given pressure the C.S.T. is a perfectly defined point. It is, however, affected to a very marked extent by the addition of quite a small quantity of a foreign substance (impurity), which dissolves either in one or both of the partially miscible liquids. The determination of the consolute temperature may therefore be used for testing the purity of liquids. The upper consolute temperature is generally employed for this purpose. 

As a chemist, it was easy for me to fit into the new environment. Science is international and even has its own langnage in scientific English (as it is freqnently called), i.e., English with a foreign accent. The...
