Free Excess

Procedure Weigh accurately 0.5 g arsenic trioxide into a beaker, add to it 2 ml of sodium hydroxide solution, and heat to dissolve. Cool and transfer the contents quantitatively to a 100 ml volumetric flask and make up the volume upto the mark with DW. Pipette 20 ml into an iodine-flask, acidify with dilute HC1 carefully and confirm it by adding a little NaHC03 to remove the free excess acid, followed by a further 2 g to get rid of HI formed in the reaction mixture. Now, titrate with 0.1 N iodine solution till the end-point is achieved by the appearance of the first permanent pale straw colour.

Up to this point we have used rather crude terminology to describe the free electron state in simple liquids, and we are now faced with the following dilemma is it possible to describe a free excess electron in a liquid in terms of a plane wave, neglecting the effect of the core electrons Such a simple description is justified by the pseudopotential theory introduced by Phillips and Kleinman (37) and by Cohen and Heine (5). 

The free excess enthalpy takes the real behaviour of the components in a mixture into account ... 

At constant temperature and pressure, the concentration-dependent activity coefficient can be determined from the free excess enthalpy by differentiation through the mole fraction. These equations are the basis for the methods of Wilson and Prausnitz to calculate the activity coefficient [19, 20], The Gibbs-Duhem equation is again a convenient method for checking the obtained equilibrium data ... 

Characters and Tests.—Bight square octohedrons or prisms, colourless and inodorous sparingly soluble in water, but communicating to it an intensely bitter taste soluble in boiling rectified spirit and in chloroform, but not in absolute alcohol or ether. Pure sulphuric acid forms vnth it a colourless solution, which on the addition of solid potassium bichromate acquires a purple hue, changes to yellowish-red, and ultimately leaves a green residue. Should not be coloured by nitric acid if it turns yellow, it shows that brucia is present. Should leave no ash when burned with free excess of air. 

Polyisocyanate types with free, excess isocyanate groups include adducts of diisocyanates with polyols, isocyanurates formed by trimerization of diisocyanates, and high molecular mass products containing biuret or allophanate groups. Monomeric MDI and its mixtures with oligomers have a low vapor pressure and can be safely handled at room temperature. 

The evolution of the free excess enthalpy vs. the concentration may be analyzed with regard to the individnal activity coefficients by means of the following relation ...

Best practice is to assess one single correlation, i.e., between the free excess enthalpy of the whole system g /(R-T) and the state variables, and then to derive the activity coefficients for each component consistently by means of (2.1-132). Thus the data drawn in Fig. 2.1-26 have to be approximated by an analytical function, which is differentiable with respect to the concentration and which complies with the boundary condition g / R T) = 0 for each of the pure substances. The literature provides a huge variety of such expressions, e.g., Margules (Margules 1895), van Laar (van Laar 1935), Wilson (Wilson 1964), NRTL (Renon and Praus-nitz 1968), or UNIQUAC (Abrams and Prausnitz 1975). The procedure is elucidated following the method after Margules for a binary mixture ... 

The most common method for treatment of phase equilibria in nonideal mixtures is the previously discussed method to calculate the activity coefficients from the free excess enthalpy. It should be emphasized that this treatment is basically just an interpolation of measured data retaining the thermodynamic consistency. Only nonideal behavior of the liquid phase is comprehended within this approach. If nonideal behavior of the gaseous phase is encountered (e.g., at high pressures), the treatment by means of equations of state is recommended. 

To characterize a sample with thermoporometry a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) is applied the signal is typically recorded from temperatures slightly above to well below the freezing point of the free pore liquid. Free excess liquid or liquid confined in macropores results in a signal arormd the melting point of the free liquid and can be used to define the reference temperature (Figure 21.34).
