It is natural to expect that the extensive hydrogen-bond network present in water may substantially alter the nature of the molecular motion of individual water molecules from those found in normal liquids where such a network is absent. In those non-hydrogen-bonded liquids individual molecules usually move by small steps. One such small step is mostly uncorrelated with the next one. Such a motion by random steps is called Brownian motion. Brownian motion is the erratic and tiny movement of small particles (often observable under optical microscope) when large particles are suspended in a fluid or gas of small particles. For example, if you sprinkle tiny grains of dust into water, and then look at the dust particles under a microscope, the dust particles appear to dance around, continuously and quite randomly. This zigzag random motion happens regardless of how still the surface of the water is kept. 

The molecules at the interface of two immiscible liquids are more or less satisfied and due to this decreased number of unbalanced forees, interfacial tension is lowered. It is for the same reason that the potential energy at the surface of the molecules of each liquid is far below than that seen for molecules in the body of the two liquids individually. 

The unbalanced forces of allraciion acting along the surface of each liquid (individual surface tensions) are. partly compensated by the forces of attraction that the molecules of one liquid have for the molecules of the other. 

Note that in liquid phase chromatography there are no detectors that are both sensitive and universal, that is, which respond linearly to solute concentration regardless of its chemical nature. In fact, the refractometer detects all solutes but it is not very sensitive its response depends evidently on the difference in refractive indices between solvent and solute whereas absorption and UV fluorescence methods respond only to aromatics, an advantage in numerous applications. Unfortunately, their coefficient of response (in ultraviolet, absorptivity is the term used) is highly variable among individual components. 

When gases are rich in ethane, propane, butane and heavier hydrocarbons and there is a local market for such products it may be economic to recover these condensable components. Natural gas liquids can be recovered in a number of ways, some of which have already been described in the previous section. However to maximise recovery of the individual NGL components, gas would have to be processed in a fractionation plant. 

This is a fairly accurate and convenient method for measuring the surface tension of a liquid-vapor or liquid-liquid interface. The procedure, in its simpli-est form, is to form drops of the liquid at the end of a tube, allowing them to fall into a container until enough have been collected to accurately determine the weight per drop. Recently developed computer-controlled devices track individual drop volumes to = 0.1 p [32]. 

The integral A/, while expressible in terms of surface free energy differences, is defined independently of such individual quantities. A contact angle situation may thus be viewed as a consequence of the ability of two states to coexist bulk liquid and thin film. 

Figure Al.7.14. 3.4 mn x 3.4 mn STM images of 1-docosanol physisorbed onto a graphite surface in solution. This image reveals the hydrogen-bonding alcohol molecules assembled in lamellar fashion at the liquid-solid interface. Each bright circular region is attributed to the location of an individual hydrogen...

Recently, Orkoulas and Panagiotopoulos [161] have shown that it is possible to use histogram reweighting and multicanonical simulations, starting with individual simulations near the critical point, to map out the liquid-vapour coexistence curve in a very efficient way. 

The variety of molecules used to prepare LB films is enonnous. and only a small selection of examples can be presented here. Liquid crystals and biomolecules such as phospholipids, for example, can also be used to prepare LB films. The reader is referred to tire literature for infonnation about individual species. 

Lubricants are added to lower interfacial frictional forces between individual particles and/or between particles and fonning die surfaces to improve compaction and ejection (i.e. extraction of the pressed compact from the fonning die). Individual particle surfaces can be lubricated by an adsorbed film that produces a smoother surface and/or decreases interiDarticle attraction. Fonning (die) surfaces can be lubricated by coating with a film of low-viscosity liquid such as water or oil. 

TIk experimentally determined dipole moment of a water molecule in the gas phase is 1.85 D. The dipole moment of an individual water molecule calculated with any of thv se simple models is significantly higher for example, the SPC dipole moment is 2.27 D and that for TIP4P is 2.18 D. These values are much closer to the effective dipole moment of liquid water, which is approximately 2.6 D. These models are thus all effective pairwise models. The simple water models are usually parametrised by calculating various pmperties using molecular dynamics or Monte Carlo simulations and then modifying the... 

Experiments involving the use of dimethyl sulphate should be carried out by students only under immediate supervision. Not only is the vapour of dimethyl sulphate highly poisonousy but the cold liquid itself is absorbed easily through the skin, with toxic results individual susceptibility to ditnethyl sulphate poisoning varies and may be very high. If the sulphate is splashed on to the hands, wash immediately with plenty of concentrated ammonia solution in order to hydrolyse the methyl sulphate before it can be absorbed through the skin (see p. 528).
