Thermostat vessels (fixed-temperature "baths" or "sinks") are used to control the temperature of a large mass (water or metal) using an electronic feedback loop between an electrical resistance heater and a temperature monitor the temperature of such a bath can be controlled routinely to 0.01 K or, with special care, to 0.001 K. 

Liquid water and liquid benzene have very small mutual solubilities. Equilibria in the binary water-benzene system were investigated by Tucker, Lane, and Christian as follows. A known amount of distilled water was admitted to an evacuated, thermostatted vessel. Part of the water vaporized to form a vapor phase. Small, precisely measured volumes of liquid benzene were then added incrementally from the sample loop of a hquid-chromatography valve. The benzene distributed itself between the hquid and gaseous phases in the vessel. After each addition, the pressure was read with a precision pressure gauge. From the known amounts of water and benzene and the total pressure, the liquid composition and the partial pressure of the benzene were calculated. The fugacity of the benzene in the vapor phase was calculated from its partial pressure and the second viiial coefficient. 

The experiment is performed as follows (Fig. 13.1). The reaction mixture is placed in a thermostatted vessel 6 with transparent planar-parallel walls. The vessel is irradiated with the light with such a wavelength that generates radicals. Disk 4 is placed in the point where the beams are focused and is rotated. The reaction rate is measured by this or another method from experiment to experiment, and the empirical dependence of the v/v ratio on logrj is plotted, td is found from the rotation velocity of the disk and the ratio between the sizes of the dark and light sectors (usually r - 3). This empirical dependence is compared with the theoretical one, and 2k, is determined by comparison, and from this 2k, is calculated. The initiation rate is measured by the methods of inhibitors (see above) or through the chain reaction rate and the kp/2k, ratio. 

To this end Mn(N03)2.6H2O was dissolved in 250 ml water the solution was acidified with 1 ml of nitric acid (55 %) and transferred to a double alled, thermostatted vessel equipped with baffles and a stirrer. Five gram of silica was added to this solution in experiment U30 and U31, while experiment U33 was carried out without silica and experiment U34 with 10 g of silica. For further details on the concentrations of reactants the reader is referred to Table 2. 

Attention is directed to the importance of temperature control in conductance measurements. While the use of a thermostat is not essential in conductimetric titrations, constancy of temperature is required but it is usually only necessary to place the conductivity cell in a large vessel of water at the laboratory temperature.

All calorimeters are composed of an inner vessel (the calorimeter vessel, A in Fig. 1), in which the thermal phenomenon under study is produced, and of a surrounding medium (shields, thermostat, etc., B in Fig. 1). Depending upon the intensity of the heat exchange between the inner vessel and its surroundings, three main types of calorimeters may be distinguished theoretically as indicated in Fig. 1. 

A mixture of 2-iodotoluene (8.78 g, 0.04 mol) and trimethyl phosphite (24.8 g, 0.20 mol) was placed in a 45-ml, double-jacketed silica reaction vessel. The mixture was degassed by flushing with dry nitrogen for 5 min and irradiated with a 450-watt Hanovia (Model 679A-10) high-pressure quartz mercury vapor lamp fitted with an aluminum reflector head. The lamp was placed 5 cm from the inner portion of the reaction vessel. The reaction temperature was maintained at 0°C by the circulation of coolant from a thermostatically controlled refrigeration unit. Irradiation was continued at this temperature for 24 h. At the end of this time, the volatile materials were removed with a water aspirator, and the residue was vacuum distilled (96 to 97°C/0.25 torr) to give the dimethyl 2-methylphenylphosphonate (7.28 g, 91%). 

Procedure. Finely powdered antimony trifluoride is placed in the reservoir of the feed. Phosphorus oxychloride and then antimony pentachloride are placed in the reaction vessel. The temperature of the bath is maintained, thermostatically, at 75° and the pressure kept at 190-200 mm., and the antimony trifluoride is then added slowly from the feed. The distillates in the traps are united and fractionated. The distillate, up to b.p. 90°/760 mm., is collected and carefully refractionated, giving pure phosphorus oxydichlorofluoride, b.p. 54° (20 per cent yield). 

Figure 11.2 shows a typical temperature-time curve for a continuous isoperibol titration calorimetry experiment involving an exothermic process. In the initial and final periods (between points a and b, and c and d, respectively), the observed temperature change is determined by the heat of stirring, the heat dissipated by the temperature sensor, and the difference between the temperature of the calorimetric vessel and the temperature of the thermostatic bath. The titration... 

To calculate gr from equation 11.15, it is necessary to know a, ft, V, gi, gf, 7j, Tf, and T. The values of a and ft are obtained as described. The volume of liquid inside the vessel can be calculated from the initial volume of titrate and the volume of titrant added. The temperature of the thermostatic jacket 7] must be independently measured. The values of g, and 7j, gf and Tf are usually taken at the midpoints of the fore and after periods, respectively, although e, refers to point b in the curve of figure 11.2. 

A so-called Rosett cell can be fitted with a flanged lid (Fig. 7.12). The design of the Rosett cell allows the irradiated reaction mixture to be sonically propelled from the end of the probe around the loops of the vessel and thus provides both cooling (when the vessel is immersed in a thermostatted bath) and efficient mixing. A PTFE sleeve provides a vapour tight fit between the probe and the glass joint. 

A dissolution testing apparams consists of a set of six or eight thermostatted, stirred vessels of an established geometry and volume from the USP guidelines. The dissolution apparatus provides a means to dissolve each sample, but does not provide a means to determine the concentration of the aetive ingredient in the bath. In the most well-established scheme, sipper tubes withdraw samples from each dissolution vessel and send them through a multiport valve to a flow cell sitting in the sample chamber of a UV-vis spectrophotometer. In recent years, moves have been made to make in situ measurements in the dissolution baths by means of fiber-optic probes. There are three possible probe implementations in situ, down shaft, and removable in situ (see Table 4.2).
