Pure silver has a brilliant white metallic luster. It is a little harder than gold and is very ductile and malleable, being exceeded only by gold and perhaps palladium. Pure silver has the highest electrical and thermal conductivity of all metals, and possesses the lowest contact resistance. It is stable in pure air and water, but tarnishes when exposed to ozone, hydrogen sulfide, or air containing sulfur. The alloys of silver are important. 

Because it was not possible to explain the differences in the effectiveness of hydrogen as compared to other gases on the basis of differences in their physical properties, ie, thermal conductivity, diffusivity, or heat capacity differences, their chemical properties were explored. To differentiate between the hydrogen atoms in the C2H2 molecules and those injected as the quench, deuterium gas was used as the quench. The data showed that although 90% of the acetylene was recovered, over 99% of the acetylene molecules had exchanged atoms with the deuterium quench to form C2HD and... 

The thermal conductivity of gas-phase deuterium is about 0.73 times that of gas-phase hydrogen. This thermal conductivity difference offers a convenient method for analysis of H2—D2 mixtures. Other physical properties of D2, T2, HD, DT, and HT are Hsted in the Hterature (60). 

Thermal conductivity is used as an analytical tool in the deterrnination of hydrogen. Because the thermal conductivities of ortho- and i7n -hydrogen are different, thermal conductivity detectors are used to determine the ortho para ratio of a hydrogen sample (240,241). In one method (242), an analy2er is described which spHts a hydrogen sample of unknown ortho para ratio into two separate streams, one of which is converted to normal hydrogen with a catalyst. The measured difference in thermal conductivity between the two streams is proportional to the ortho para ratio of the sample. 

All ciyogenic hquids except hydrogen and helium have thermal conductivities that increase as the temperature is decreased. For these two exceptions, the thermal conductivity decreases with a decrease in temperature. The kinetic theory of gases correc tly predicts the decrease in thermal conductivity or all gases when the temperature is lowered. 

The hydrogen content, heat of combustion, specific heat, and thermal conductivity data herein were abstracted from Bureau of Standards MisceUaneous Pubhcation 97, Thermal Propei tie.s of Petroleum Products. These data are widely used, although other correlations have appeared, notably that by Linden and Othmer Chem. Eng. 54[4, 5], April and May, 1947). 

Most physical properties are but little affected by nuclear-spin isomerism though the thermal conductivity of P-H2 is more than 50% greater than that of 0-H2, and this forms a ready means of analysing mixtures. The mp of P-H2 (containing only 0.21% (3-H2) is 0.15 K below that of normal hydrogen (containing 75% 0-H2), and by extrapolation the mp of (unobtainable) pure... 

Transparent polyethylene can be also applied to the protection of window glass against aggressive media, e.g., the effect of hydrogen fluoride on the plants producing superphosphate fertilizers. The use of transparent polyethylene film for window glass makes it possible to cut down on the heat losses due to the lower thermal conductance of polyethylene as compared to glass. 

Thermal conductivity detector. The most important of the bulk physical property detectors is the thermal conductivity detector (TCD) which is a universal, non-destructive, concentration-sensitive detector. The TCD was one of the earliest routine detectors and thermal conductivity cells or katharometers are still widely used in gas chromatography. These detectors employ a heated metal filament or a thermistor (a semiconductor of fused metal oxides) to sense changes in the thermal conductivity of the carrier gas stream. Helium and hydrogen are the best carrier gases to use in conjunction with this type of detector since their thermal conductivities are much higher than any other gases on safety grounds helium is preferred because of its inertness. 

Thermal Conductivity Detector In the thermal conductivity detector (TCD), the temperature of a hot filament changes when the analyte dilutes the carrier gas. With a constant flow of helium carrier gas, the filament temperature will remain constant, but as compounds with different thermal conductivities elute, the different gas compositions cause heat to be conducted away from the filament at different rates, which in turn causes a change in the filament temperature and electrical resistance. The TCD is truly a universal detector and can detect water, air, hydrogen, carbon monoxide, nitrogen, sulfur dioxide, and many other compounds. For most organic molecules, the sensitivity of the TCD detector is low compared to that of the FID, but for the compounds for which the FID produces little or no signal, the TCD detector is a good alternative. 

His researches and those of his pupils led to his formulation in the twenties of the concept of active catalytic centers and the heterogeneity of catalytic and adsorptive surfaces. His catalytic studies were supplemented by researches carried out simultaneously on kinetics of homogeneous gas reactions and photochemistry. The thirties saw Hugh Taylor utilizing more and more of the techniques developed by physicists. Thermal conductivity for ortho-para hydrogen analysis resulted in his use of these species for surface characterization. The discovery of deuterium prompted him to set up production of this isotope by electrolysis on a large scale of several cubic centimeters. This gave him and others a supply of this valuable tracer for catalytic studies. For analysis he invoked not only thermal conductivity, but infrared spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. To ex-... 

Van Driesen and Stewart (V4) have reported temperature measurements for various locations in commercial gas-liquid fluidized reactors for the large-scale catalytic desulfurization and hydrocracking of heavy petroleum fractions (2500 barrels per day capacity). The hydrogenation was carried out in two stages the maximum and minimum temperatures measured were 774° and 778°F for the first stage and 768° and 770°F for the second. These results indicate that gas-liquid fluidized reactors are characterized by a high effective thermal conductivity. 

The gas chromatograph (GC) is a Hewlett-Packard 5890 GC with a thermal conductivity detector. A 5A mole sieve column is used with argon carrier gas this gives peaks going in the same direction for both hydrogen and nitrogen. 

The value 4.34 v.e. is equal to 100,000 cal/mole. Thermochemical measurements are in satisfactory agreement with this spectroscopic result.
