Freezing points, standard

In the approved method, supercooled milk is induced to freeze by mechanical vibration that causes the temperature to rise to a plateau corresponding to the freezing point. Standard solutions of sodium chloride are used for calibration. The method gives excellent agreement between different laboratories testing the same sample of milk (<0-005°C). The addition of 1% water in milk raises the freezing point by about T/lOO, where T is base freezing point of authenticated samples. Dietary, daily. 

National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The NIST is the source of many of the standards used in chemical and physical analyses in the United States and throughout the world. The standards prepared and distributed by the NIST are used to caUbrate measurement systems and to provide a central basis for uniformity and accuracy of measurement. At present, over 1200 Standard Reference Materials (SRMs) are available and are described by the NIST (15). Included are many steels, nonferrous alloys, high purity metals, primary standards for use in volumetric analysis, microchemical standards, clinical laboratory standards, biological material certified for trace elements, environmental standards, trace element standards, ion-activity standards (for pH and ion-selective electrodes), freezing and melting point standards, colorimetry standards, optical standards, radioactivity standards, particle-size standards, and density standards. Certificates are issued with the standard reference materials showing values for the parameters that have been determined. 

Purity of toluene samples as well as the number, concentration, and identity of other components can be readily determined using standard gas chromatography techniques (40—42). Toluene content of high purity samples can also be accurately measured by freezing point, as outlined in ASTM D1016. Toluene exhibits characteristic uv, it, nmr, and mass spectra, which are useful in many specific control and analytical problems (2,43—45). 

From the ventilation point of view, the fixed points -38.83 °C (triple-point of mercury), 0.010 °C (triple-point of water), 29.76 °C (melting point of gallium), and 156.60 °C (freezing point of indium) are of relevance. The triple-point of water is relatively simple to achieve and maintain with a triple-point apparatus. Some freezing point cells are covered in standards. In practical temperature calibration of measuring instruments, the lTS-90 fixed points are not used directly.

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. 

A smaller increase in entropy occurs when solids melt than when liquids vaporize, because a liquid is only slightly more disordered than a solid (Fig. 7.5). By applying the same argument used for vaporization to the standard entropy of fusion of a substance at its melting (or freezing) point, we obtain...

In the freezing point depression method, one measures the temperature lowering AT/ required to render the activity of the solvent in the solution equal to that of the pure crystalline solvent (referred to the pure liquid as the standard state see above). Then...

The standard processes of fractionation used in this work are distillation, extraction, adsorption, and crystallization, which involve the properties of vapor pressure (or boiling point), solubility, adsorbability, and freezing point (and cryoscopic constant). These processes of fractionation may be used in several variations ... 

So acute was the need for accurate data on freezing point, boiling point, refractive index, density, and the spectrographic fingerprints of pure hydrocarbons that two new projects were set up. These included A.P.I.-R.P. 44, a project for the collection, evaluation, and distribution of physical, chemical, and thermodynamic data (1), and A.P.I.-R.P. 46, a project for the preparation and distribution of standard spectrometric samples (3). A.P.I.-R.P. 45 made substantial contribution to these new ventures. 

The most common thermometer in the world is the Celsius thermometer, named in honor of the Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius (1701—1744), who first suggested the scale of 100 degrees between the freezing point and boiling point of fresh water. In a Celsius thermometer, the number 0 is assigned to the temperature at which pure water freezes and the number 100 is assigned to the temperature at which it boils (at standard atmospheric pressure), with 100 equal parts called degrees between these two points.
