Figure I6.IO Gas solubility and partial pressure. The solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to its partial pressure solubility oc partial pressure. 

In the case of three-phase equilibria, it is also necessary to account for the solubility of hydrocarbon gases in water. This solubility is proportional to the partial pressure of the hydrocarbon or, more precisely, to its partial fugacity in the vapor phase. The relation which ties the solubility expressed in mole fraction to the fugacity is the following ... 

Deliquescence and efflorescence. A substance is said to deliquesce (Latin to become liquid) when it forms a solution or liquid phase upon standing in the air. The essential condition is that the vapour pressure of the saturated solution of the highest hydrate at the ordinary temperature should be less than the partial pressure of the aqueous vapour in the atmosphere. Water will be absorbed by the substance, which gradually liquefies to a saturated solution water vapour will continue to be absorbed by the latter until an unsaturated solution, having the same vapour pressure as the partial pressure of water vapour in the air, is formed. In order that the vapour pressure of the saturated solution may be sufficiently low, the substance must be extremely soluble in water, and it is only such substances (e.g., calcium chloride, zinc chloride and potassium hydroxide) that deliquesce.

The first assumption in all such physical mass transfer processes is that equiHbrium exists at the interface between the two phases. This assumption implies that, at the interface, the concentration of the gas in the Hquid, is equal to its solubiHty at its partial pressure in the gas phase,Since, for sparingly soluble gases such as oxygen, there is a direct proportionaHty between the two,... 

The physical properties of vinyl chloride are Hsted in Table 1 (12). Vinyl chloride and water [7732-18-5] are nearly immiscible. The equiUbrium concentration of vinyl chloride at 1 atm partial pressure in water is 0.276 wt % at 25°C, whereas the solubiUty of water in vinyl chloride is 0.0983 wt % at 25°C and saturated pressure (13). Vinyl chloride is soluble in hydrocarbons, oil, alcohol, chlorinated solvents, and most common organic Hquids. 

Carbon disulfide is completely miscible with many hydrocarbons, alcohols, and chlorinated hydrocarbons (9,13). Phosphoms (14) and sulfur are very soluble in carbon disulfide. Sulfur reaches a maximum solubiUty of 63% S at the 60°C atmospheric boiling point of the solution (15). SolubiUty data for carbon disulfide in Hquid sulfur at a CS2 partial pressure of 101 kPa (1 atm) and a phase diagram for the sulfur—carbon disulfide system have been published (16). Vapor—Hquid equiHbrium and freezing point data ate available for several binary mixtures containing carbon disulfide (9). 

The H in solubility tables (2-121 to 2-144) is the proportionahty constant for the expression of Henry s law, p = Hx, mere x = mole fraction of the solute in the liqiiid phase p = partial pressure of the solute in the gas phase, expressed in atmospheres and H = a. proportionality constant expressed in units of atmospheres of solute pressure in the gas phase per unit concentration of the solute in the hquid phase. (The unit of concentration of the solute in the liquid phase is moles solute per mole solution.)... 

In order to define completely the solubility of a gas in a liquid, it generally is necessary to state the temperature, the equilibrium partial pressure of the solute gas in the gas phase, and the concentration of the solute gas in the liquid phase. Stric tly speaking, the total pressure on the system also should be stated, but for low total pressures, less than about 507 kPa (5 atm), the solubihty for a particular partial pressure of solute gas normally will be relatively independent of the total pressure of the system. 

Although quite useful when it can be apphed, this law should be checked experimentally to determine the accuracy with which it can be used. If Heniy s law holds, the solubility is defined by stating the value of the constant H (or H ) along with the temperature and the solute partial pressure for which it is to be employea. 

Fog particles grow because or excess saturation in the gas. Usually this means that the gas is supersaturated (i.e., it is below its dew point). Sometimes, fog can also grow on soluble foreign nuclei at partial pressures below saturation. Increased saturation can occur through a varietv of routes ... 

Plasticization Gas solubility in the membrane is one of the factors governing its permeation, but the other factor, diffusivity, is not always independent of solubility. If the solubility of a gas in a polymer is too high, plasticization and swelhng result, and the critical structure that controls diffusion selectivity is disrupted. These effects are particularly troublesome with condensable gases, and are most often noticed when the partial pressure of CO9 or H9S is high. H9 and He do not show this effect This problem is well known, but its manifestation is not always immediate. 

The tlrermodynamic activity of nickel in the nickel oxide layer varies from unity in contact with tire metal phase, to 10 in contact with the gaseous atmosphere at 950 K. The sulphur partial pressure as S2(g) is of the order of 10 ° in the gas phase, and about 10 in nickel sulphide in contact with nickel. It therefore appears that the process involves tire uphill pumping of sulphur across this potential gradient. This cannot occur by the counter-migration of oxygen and sulphur since the mobile species in tire oxide is the nickel ion, and the diffusion coefficient aird solubility of sulphur in the oxide are both vety low. 

When one pure liquid exists in the presence of another pure liquid, where the liquids neither react nor are soluble in each other, the vapor pressure of one liquid will not affect the vapor pressure of the other liquid. The sum of the partial pressures P is equal to the total pressure P. This relationship is formalized in Dalton s Law, which is expressed as... 

With a sparingly-soluble gas a much-higher partial pressure of that gas is in equilibrium with a solution of a given concentration than is the case with a highly soluble gas. 

Expressions of this type can be written for both gas and liquid films in which the absorption coefficients are the gas- and liquid-film coefficients, respectively. The driving force across the gas film is given by the difference between the actual partial pressure of the soluble gas and that at the interface, v/hile the driving force across the liquid film is given by the difference between the concentration of the soluble gas at the interface and that in the main bulk of liquid.

Chlorine dioxide is a yellow-green gas and soluble in water at room temperature to about 2.9 g/1 chlorine dioxide (at 30 mm mercury partial pressure) or more than 10 g/1 in chilled water. The boiling point of liquid chlorine dioxide is 11° C the melting point is - 59° C. Chlorine dioxide gas has a specific gravity of 2.4. The oxidant is used in a water solution and is five times more soluble in water than... 

These processes are based on the solubility of the H2S and/or GO2 within the solvent, instead of on chemical reactions between the acid gas and the solvent. Solubility depends first and foremost on partial pressure and. secondarily on temperature. Higher acid-gas partial pressures and lower temperatures increase the solubility of H2S and CO2 in the solvent and thus decrease the acid-gas components. 

MSH + MOH). Accordingly, solubilities depend sensitively not only on temperature but also on pH and partial pressure of H2S. Thus, by varying the acidity. As can be separated from Pb, Pb from Zn, Zn from Ni, and Mn from Mg. In pure water the solubility of Na2S is said to be 18.06g per 100 g H2O and for Ba2S it is 7.28 g. In the case of some less-basic elements (e.g. AI2S3, Cr2S3) hydrolysis is complete and action of H2S on solutions of the metal cation results in the precipitation of the hydroxide likewise these sulfides (and SiS2, etc.) react rapidly with water with evolution of H2S. 

Henry s Law. This is an empirical formulation that describes equilibrium solubilities of noncondensable gases in a liquid when Raoult s law fails. It states that the mole fraction of a gas (solute i) dissolved in a liquid (solvent) is proportional to the partial pressure of the gas above the liquid surface at given temperature. That is,... 

Increase in partial pressure increases the solubility, consequently lowering the pH of the system (Figure 4-466). 

Rosenfel d" considers that SO2 can act as a depolariser of the cathodic process. However, this effect has only been demonstrated with much higher levels of SO2 (0-5%) than are found in the atmosphere (Table 2.4) and the importance of this action of SO2 has yet to be proved for practical environments. However, SO2 is 1 300 times more soluble than O2 in water" and therefore its concentration in solution may be considerably greater than would be expected from partial pressure considerations. This high solubility would make it a more effective cathode reactant than dissolved oxygen even though its concentration in the atmosphere is comparatively small.
