Properties of the gas phase

It follows from this discussion that all of the transport properties can be derived in principle from the simple kinetic dreoty of gases, and their interrelationship tlu ough k and c leads one to expect that they are all characterized by a relatively small temperature coefficient. The simple theory suggests tlrat this should be a dependence on 7 /, but because of intermolecular forces, the experimental results usually indicate a larger temperature dependence even up to for the case of molecular inter-diffusion. The Anhenius equation which would involve an enthalpy of activation does not apply because no activated state is involved in the transport processes. If, however, the temperature dependence of these processes is fitted to such an expression as an algebraic approximation, tlren an activation enthalpy of a few kilojoules is observed. It will thus be found that when tire kinetics of a gas-solid or liquid reaction depends upon the transport properties of the gas phase, the apparent activation entlralpy will be a few kilojoules only (less than 50 kJ). 

It is noteworthy that it is the lower cross-over temperature T 2 that is usually measured. The above simple analysis shows that this temperature is determined by the intermolecular vibration frequencies rather than by the properties of the gas-phase reaction complex or by the static barrier. It is not surprising then, that in most solid state reactions the observed value of T 2 is of order of the Debye temperature of the crystal. Although the result (2.77a) has been obtained in the approximation < ojo, the leading exponential term turns out to be exact for arbitrary cu [Benderskii et al. 1990, 1991a]. It is instructive to compare (2.77a) with (2.27) and see that friction slows tunneling down, while the q mode promotes it.

For all calculations, we need the characteristic properties of the gas phase. Since the gas phase consists of 90% oxygen, we can assume that the gas properties can be represented by the properties of the oxygen alone. The gas density can be evaluated using the ideal gas law... 

All of the thermodynamic properties of the gas phase should be calculated using an equation of state. This is typically true for the liquid as well, with the exception of the density. The commonly used equations of state do a poor job of estimating liquid density. Often the liquid density from the equation of state is rejected in favor of one from the more accurate empirical expression such as the COSTALD equation. In this case the following equation can be used ... 

Many models fail to capture this behavior, however, so temperature transfer-ability is far from an automatic feature of polarizable models.Indeed, it has been demonstrated by several authors that a point dipole-based model designed specifically to reproduce properties of the gas-phase monomer and the bulk liquid at 298 K is doomed to fail at higher temperatures. This failure could arise from insufficiencies in the Lennard-Jones function typically... 

A variety of different experiments can now be carried out which probe the properties of the gas phase clusters. One of the first investigations centered upon how an electronic property, the cluster ionization threshold, varied as a function of the number of...

More germane to the present discussion, however, is why does intestinal gas exit at all Common experience tells us that the gas-phase is less dense than liquid and that gas bubbles will rise out of liquidlike materials. Our discussion of the properties of the gas phase reinforces this notion. But intestinal gas seems to travel contrary to the expected direction. 

One consequence of using the pairwise additive approximation is that if a true pair potential is used to calculate the properties of a liquid or solid, there will be an error due to the omission of the nonadditive contributions. Conversely, if the pairwise additive approximation is made in deriving the pair potential U b, the latter will have partially absorbed some form of average over the many-body forces present, producing an error in the calculated properties of the gas phase where only two-body interactions are important. Because the effective pair potential Uab cannot correctly model the orientation and distance dependence of the absorbed nonadditive contributions, there will also be errors in transferring the effective potential to other condensed phases with different arrangements of molecules.

Even if the air parcel is saturated with water vapor, the thermodynamic properties of the gas phase are, for all practical purposes, the same as that of air. We can therefore substitute (16.4) into (16.9) using the molecular weight of air ...

The Redlich-Kvong equation does not have any theoretical grounds, - it was obtained empirically. This equation has been widely used for calculations of properties of the gas phase. However, it leads to big errors in calculations of properties of the liquid phase. Wilson has proposed a modification that allows us to calculate the properties of both - gas and liquid phases. The coefficient a in the equation (5.147) has been modified to ...
