The direction of vapour transport across a thermal gradient

In some transport reactions the transporting species is carried up a temperature gradient and in others the transport is in the opposite direction. For example the transport of aluminium by reaction with AICI3 to form the monochloride, A1C1, occurs down the temperature gradient. This reaction is written as [Pg.89]

The standard entropies of monatomic gases are largely determined by the translational partition function, and since this involves the logarithm of the molecular weight of the gas, it is not surprising that the entropy, which is related to the translational partition function by the Sackur-Tetrode equation, [Pg.91]
