A general prerequisite for the existence of a stable interface between two phases is that the free energy of formation of the interface be positive were it negative or zero, fluctuations would lead to complete dispersion of one phase in another. As implied, thermodynamics constitutes an important discipline within the general subject. It is one in which surface area joins the usual extensive quantities of mass and volume and in which surface tension and surface composition join the usual intensive quantities of pressure, temperature, and bulk composition. The thermodynamic functions of free energy, enthalpy and entropy can be defined for an interface as well as for a bulk portion of matter. Chapters II and ni are based on a rich history of thermodynamic studies of the liquid interface. The phase behavior of liquid films enters in Chapter IV, and the electrical potential and charge are added as thermodynamic variables in Chapter V. 

Propylene oxide is a colorless, low hoiling (34.2°C) liquid. Table 1 lists general physical properties Table 2 provides equations for temperature variation on some thermodynamic functions. Vapor—liquid equilibrium data for binary mixtures of propylene oxide and other chemicals of commercial importance ate available. References for binary mixtures include 1,2-propanediol (14), water (7,8,15), 1,2-dichloropropane [78-87-5] (16), 2-propanol [67-63-0] (17), 2-methyl-2-pentene [625-27-4] (18), methyl formate [107-31-3] (19), acetaldehyde [75-07-0] (17), methanol [67-56-1] (20), ptopanal [123-38-6] (16), 1-phenylethanol [60-12-8] (21), and / /f-butanol [75-65-0] (22,23). 

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). 

Thermodynamic Functions of the Gases. To apply Eqs. (1-10), the free energies of formation, Ag , for all gaseous species as a function of temperature are required. Tabulated data were fit by a least-squares procedure to derive an analytical equation for AG° of each vapor species. For the plutonium oxide vapor species, the data calculated from spectroscopic data (3 ) were used for 0(g) and 02(g), the JANAF data (.5) were used and for Pu(g), data from the compilation of Oetting et al. (6) were used. The coefficients of the equations for AG° of the gaseous species are included in Table I. 

The heat of formation (AH ) for 1,2,4-thiadiazole has been reported <1990JPR885> while other thermodynamic functions (entropy, heat capacity, free energy) have not been reported. 

Carell and Olin (58) were the first to derive thermodynamic functions relating to beryllium hydrolysis. They determined the enthalpy and entropy of formation of the species Be2(OH)3+ and Be3(OH)3+. Subsequently, Mesmer and Baes determined the enthalpies for these two species from the temperature variation of the respective equilibrium constants. They also determined a value for the species Be5(OH) + (66). Ishiguro and Ohtaki measured the enthalpies of formation of Be2(OH)3+ and Be3(OH)3+ calorimetrically in solution in water and water/dioxan mixtures (99). The agreement between the values is satisfactory considering the fact that they were obtained with different chemical models and ionic media.

However, the obscure choice of frequencies in the visible and UV regions in the original calculations may have been guided by a desire to fit experimental heats. In fact, the Debye rotational and translational crystal frequencies relate to sublimation energies of the lattice, and, together with internal molecular vibrations, can be used to calculate thermodynamic functions (16). An indirect connection between maximum lattice frequencies (vm) and heats of formation may hold because the former is inversely related to interatomic dimensions (see Section IV,D,1) ... 

Thus, rate constant for a reaction can be given by equation (4.34) in terms of equilibrium constant for the formation of activated complex K which can be expressed either in terms of partition or thermodynamic functions. 

Therefore, the physical meaning of the solubility curve of a surfactant is different from that of ordinary substances. Above the critical micelle concentration the thermodynamic functions, for example, the partial molar free energy, the activity, the enthalpy, remain more or less constant. For that reason, micelle formation can be considered as the formation of a new phase. Therefore, the Krafft Point depends on a complicated three phase equilibrium. 

Having described the equilibrium structure and thermodynamics of the vapor condensate we then re-examine homogeneous nucleation theory. This combination of thermodynamics and rate kinetics, in which the free energy of formation is treated as an activation energy in a monomer addition reaction, contains the assumption that equilibrium thermodynamic functions can be applied to a continuum of non-equilibrium states. For the purpose of elucidating the effects of the removal of the usual approximations, we retain this assumption and calculate a radially dependent free energy of formation. Ve find, that by removing the conventional assumptions, the presumed thermodynamic barrier to nucleation is absent. 

The magnitude and sign of the distribution constants and of the thermodynamic functions of the transfered solute to the mixed micelle, when compared with those predicted from the binary systems, indicate that the formation of a mixed micelle between BE and NaDec is a highly favorable event.
