Mercury Pressure

Change in boiling point for every 10 mm. mercury pressure at 760 20 mm. 

The table below gives the weight in grams X 10 of 1 mL of air at 760 mm of mercury pressure and at the temperature indicated. Density in grams per milliliter is the same as the specific gravity referred to water at 4°C as unity. To convert to density referred to air at 70°F as unity, divide the values below by 12,00,... 

A typical example, from the extensive study by Kamakin on an alumina-silica gel, is shown in Fig. 3.32. When the mercury pressure was reduced to 1 atm at the end of the first cycle, 27 per cent of the intruded mercury was retained by the sample a second intrusion run followed a different path from the first, whereas the second extrusion curve agreed closely with the first. Change in f re structure of the kind described above could perhaps account for the difference between the two intrusion curves, but could not explain the reproducibility of the remainder of the loop. There is no doubt that hysteresis can exist in the absence of structural change. 

Ultraviolet light sources are based on the mercury vapor arc. The mercury is enclosed ia a quart2 tube and a potential is appHed to electrodes at either end of the tube. The electrodes can be of iron, tungsten, or other metals and the pressure ia a mercury vapor lamp may range from less than 0.1 to >1 MPa (<1 to >10 atm). As the mercury pressure and lamp operating temperatures are iacreased, the radiation becomes more iatense and the width of the emission lines iacreases (17). 

The following procedure is recommended. The sample solution is de-aerated, then, with the tip of the capillary in the air, the mercury pressure is raised at least 10 cm above the previously found equilibrium height, the capillary is inserted into the cell, and the mercury level is finally adjusted to the desired value. After completion of the measurements the capillary is withdrawn from the cell and washed thoroughly with a stream of water from a wash bottle while the mercury is still issuing from the tip and is being collected in a microbeaker. 

In the ester interchange method a mixture of bisphenol A and diphenylcarbonate along with a basic catalyst like lithium hydride is melted and stirred at 150°C under nitrogen. Later on, when the temperature is raised to 210°C at 20 mm mercury pressure most of the phenol formed gets distilled off. In the last stage the temperature is raised to 300°C at 1 mm Hg.

In general, the electrodeless lamp contains a small amount of mercury and a neutral starter gas. The mercury pressures during its operation are in the 5-20 bar range, which is higher than for arc lamps, with pressures only in the 1-2 bar range. The characteristics of fhe lamp can be modified by fhe addition of mefal halides in confrolled quanfifies to the gas. The frequently used D or V lamps contain iron or gallium salts, respectively. Some characteristics of microwave-powered lamps are in Table 3.1. 

For an applied mercury pressure of 0-30 000 Ibf hr2 (absolute), the mean pore diameter varies from 391 to 0.006 pm.

Finally, Table XIII gives a tabulation of liquid composition, liquidus temperature, x value of the coexisting solid, and mercury pressure at the liquidus temperature. The table is arranged in sections for different z values in the liquidus composition (Hg, CdJyTe, r Since the calculated liquidus surface for -rich compositions and high temperatures is given only for z values up to 0.5 in Fig. 27, entries with less than j are also included for the high z values.

WATER. A colorless (blue in thick layers) liquid, H2O or HOH. odorless, tasteless, melting point 0°C (one of the standard temperature points), boiling point 100°C at 760 millimeters of mercury pressure (turnliter standard temperature point). 

Fresh sea water feed is first deaerated and then precooled by heat exchange against the two product streams, brine and fresh water product. It enters the freezer at about 37° F., is cooled further to 25° F. by evaporation, and is partially frozen. Because the freezer is maintained at 3.3 mm. of mercury pressure (25° F.), the brine concentration is 7%, and half of the water in the sea water is removed. The slurry is diluted by recycle brine that has been filtered in the separation column. 

To apply equation (3) for calculation of the equilibrium constant K waves Ia and ic must both be limited by diffusion. To prove this the current is measured under conditions when it is 15% or less of the total limiting current and its dependence on the mercury pressure is followed. A diffusion current must, under these conditions, show a linear dependence on the square root of the height of the mercury column. Whenever possible, polarographic dissociation curves should be compared with data on dissociation obtained by other methods, e.g. potentiometry, N.M.R. or spectrophotometry. In the latter case it is important to show that the species responsible for a given polarographic wave is identical with that responsible for the observed absorption peak. 

When the mercury pressure is reduced, hysteresis is usually observed. This will reflect some of the mercury being permanently trapped in ink-bottle pores and, as such, the ink-bottle pore volume is given by the residual mercury entrapped when the mercury pressure is reduced to atmospheric pressure. Hysteresis, however, can also result from structural damage sustained due to the very high mercury pressures involved. 

The most efficient way to prevent the liquid from an oil or mercury pressure gauge or bubbler from spilling into the rest of your vacuum system is to place a liquid trap between the liquid container and the vacuum system. The liquid trap design is fairly straightforward (see Fig. 7.36), and the installation of one is strongly recommended. 

Methyl Alcohol.—According to Maquenne,2 the vapor of methyl alcohol is decomposed by the silent discharge chiefly into methane and carbon monoxide some hydrogen, ethylene, and acetylene and very little carbonic acid, are also produced. The quantity of hydrogen increases with increasing pressure (from 3-100 mm. mercury pressure), that of the other products decreases ...
