Freezing defined

Three generations of latices as characterized by the type of surfactant used in manufacture have been defined (53). The first generation includes latices made with conventional (/) anionic surfactants like fatty acid soaps, alkyl carboxylates, alkyl sulfates, and alkyl sulfonates (54) (2) nonionic surfactants like poly(ethylene oxide) or poly(vinyl alcohol) used to improve freeze—thaw and shear stabiUty and (J) cationic surfactants like amines, nitriles, and other nitrogen bases, rarely used because of incompatibiUty problems. Portiand cement latex modifiers are one example where cationic surfactants are used. Anionic surfactants yield smaller particles than nonionic surfactants (55). Often a combination of anionic surfactants or anionic and nonionic surfactants are used to provide improved stabiUty. The stabilizing abiUty of anionic fatty acid soaps diminishes at lower pH as the soaps revert to their acids. First-generation latices also suffer from the presence of soap on the polymer particles at the end of the polymerization. Steam and vacuum stripping methods are often used to remove the soap and unreacted monomer from the final product (56). 

Gelation. A sol becomes a gel when it can support a stress elasticaUy, defined as the gelation poiat or gelation time, C A sharp iucrease ia viscosity accompanies gelation. A sol freezes ia a particular polymer stmcture at the gel poiat (27). This frozen-ia stmcture may change appreciably with... 

Temperature. Temperature maybe measured on an absolute or relative scale. The two most common relative scales are the Celsius and the Fahrenheit scales. The Celsius scale is defined as 0°C at the freezing point (triple point) of water and 100°C at the boihng point. The Fahrenheit scale is arbitrarily defined by assigning it a temperature of 32 degrees at the freezing point of water and 212°F at the boihng point of water (see Temperature measurements). 

Above 962°C, the freezing point of silver, temperatures on the ITS-90 ate defined by a thermodynamic function and an interpolation instmment is not specified. The interpolation instmment universally used is an optical pyrometer, manual or automatic, which is itself a thermodynamic device. 

This unit, most recentiy defined by the 16th CGPM in 1979, replaced the candle and, later, the new candle and a definition of the candela based on the luminous intensity of a specified projected area of a blackbody emitter at the temperature of freezing platinum. 

The toxicity of antifreeze and deicing fluids is predorninantly a function of the main component, the freezing point depressant. Eor ethylene glycol-based fluids, the toxicity is well-defined, as the toxicity of ethylene glycol has been studied extensively because of its wide usage in varied appHcations (16). 

Specifications for gas turbine fuels prescribe test limits that must be met by the refiner who manufactures fuel however, it is customary for fuel users to define quality control limits for fuel at the point of delivery or of custody transfer. These limits must be met by third parties who distribute and handle fuels on or near the airport. Tests on receipt at airport depots include appearance, distfllation, flash point (or vapor pressure), density, freezing point, smoke point, corrosion, existing gum, water reaction, and water separation. Tests on delivery to the aircraft include appearance, particulates, membrane color, free water, and electrical conductivity. 

Purification of a chemical species by solidification from a liquid mixture can be termed either solution crystallization or ciystallization from the melt. The distinction between these two operations is somewhat subtle. The term melt crystallization has been defined as the separation of components of a binaiy mixture without addition of solvent, but this definition is somewhat restrictive. In solution crystallization a diluent solvent is added to the mixture the solution is then directly or indirec tly cooled, and/or solvent is evaporated to effect ciystallization. The solid phase is formed and maintained somewhat below its pure-component freezing-point temperature. In melt ciystallization no diluent solvent is added to the reaction mixture, and the solid phase is formed by cooling of the melt. Product is frequently maintained near or above its pure-component freezing point in the refining sec tion of the apparatus. 

Freezing Point - Defined as the temperature at which a liquid changes from liquid to solid state. For example, liquid water changes to solid ice at 0 °C (32 °F). Some liquids solidify very slowly even when cooled below their freezing point. When liquids are not pure, their freezing points are lowered slightly. 

The freezing point of sea water, defined as the temperature at which ice crystals begin to form, is —2° C. 

When a solution is cooled, it does not begin to freeze until a temperature below the freezing point of the pure solvent is reached. The freezing point lowering, A Tf, is defined to be a positive quantity ... 

Strategy First (1) calculate the number of moles of C2H602 (MM = 62.07 g/mol). Then (2) apply the defining equation to calculate the molality. Finally (3), use the equation ATf = (1.86°C/m) X molality to find the freezing point lowering.

Exceptions to the use of SI units are found in Chapter 10 where we work with molecules instead of moles, and units such as cm-1 for energy are common. We will also find the bar unit for pressure to be very useful as we define standard state conditions, but a pressure of one atmosphere (atm) is still the condition that defines the normal boiling point and the normal freezing point of a liquid. 

FIGURE 8.6 The phase diagram for water (not to scale). The solid blue lines define the boundaries of the regions of pressure and temperature at which each phase is the most stable. Note that the freezing point decreases slightlv with increasing pressure. The triple point is the point at which three phase boundaries meet. The letters A and B are referred to in Example 8.3. 

A triple point is a point where three phase boundaries meet on a phase diagram. For water, the triple point for the solid, liquid, and vapor phases lies at 4.6 Torr and 0.01°C (see Fig. 8.6). At this triple point, all three phases (ice, liquid, and vapor) coexist in mutual dynamic equilibrium solid is in equilibrium with liquid, liquid with vapor, and vapor with solid. The location of a triple point of a substance is a fixed property of that substance and cannot be changed by changing the conditions. The triple point of water is used to define the size of the kelvin by definition, there are exactly 273.16 kelvins between absolute zero and the triple point of water. Because the normal freezing point of water is found to lie 0.01 K below the triple point, 0°C corresponds to 273.15 K. 

The temperature is not well defined during an EPR monitored redox titration since the protein will reequilibrate with the mediators during freezing [cf. discussion in Hagedoorn et al. 143a) ... 

Scientists use two units for temperature, the Celsius (°C) scale and the Kelvin (K) scale. These scales are shown schematically in Figure 1-18. Unlike other scientific units, the unit size of the Celsius and Kelvin scales is the same, but their zero points differ. For both scales, the difference in temperature between the freezing and boiling points of water is defined to be 100 units. However, the temperature at which ice melts to liquid water is 0 °C and 273.15 K. 

One method we might use is to cool the melt to incipient nuclei-formatlon. toss in the seed-crystal, and allow the melt to freeze into a single crystal. This is the KYROPOULOS method which we will discuss in detail later. Alas, this method only works for a few systems, notably alkali halides (cubic) and the like. We find that we can use a seed-crystal to grow single crystals, but only if we use it under carefully defined conditions. A modified K5rropoulos method has been used for many years to form single-crystal sapphire up to 13.0 inches in dieimeter. Plates cut from such crystals are used as windows and substrates for all sorts of integrated circuits, as well as watch "crystals".
