Vapour pressure equation, integration constant

This gives the absolute value of the integration constant of the vapour-pressure equation... 

For diatomic molecules and polyatomic molecules generally, the moment of inertia appears in the integration constant of the vapour-pressure equation, because the existence of rotations in the gas, while there are usually none in the solid, favours the evaporation of molecules by offering more possibilities of distribution in the gas phase. The greater the moment of inertia, the smaller the rotational quantum and the more numerous the levels. Hence the increase of i with I revealed in the formula. 

He said that the vap. press, curve of liquid nitric oxide is somewhat anomalous, and this is attributed to polymerization of the molecules at low temp. The fact that the vapour density at atmospheric press, is quite normal at these temp, indicates, however, that the dissociation of the polymerized mols. is practically complete at this pressure. The high density of the liquid at its b.p., 1 -269, is cited as evidence in support of the view that the liquid mols. are associated. W. Nernst s value for the chemical constant is about 3-7 J. R. Partington s, 1-263 F. A. Hen-glein, and A. Langen, 0-92 and A. Eucken and co-workers gave 0-03 for the integration constant of the thermodynamic vap. press, equation and A. Eucken and F. Fried, 0-95 for the constant in the equilibrium equation for 2NO=N2-j-02. 

The new equation, however, gives an insight into the course of the vapour pressure curve. For the integral of it, assuming q to be constant, which is not far from the truth, ... 

The integration constant of this equation left undetermined by thermodynamics is therefore the sum of the vapour pressure constants of the individual reacting substances. In this way it is possible in principle to calculate chemical equilibria at all temperatures from thermal quantities (calorimetric measurements) and vapour pressure measurements with the individual reacting substances. 

The important relation for our present purpose is the last one It shows that (on the basis of Nernst s Theorem) the sum of the integration constants of the vapour pressure curves which can be directly determined may be used to calculate the constant I for a given gaseous reaction, without actually carrying the reaction out at all We can thus rewrite the integrated form of the reaction isochore (viz equation (8)) in the form—... 

This result, which is certainly a remarkable one, has the following meaning. The equation (78) contains, on the right-hand side, in addition to thermal quantities, only the constant of integration I. This is now referred to a sum of integration constants which can be determined once for all for each molecular species, most directly from the vapour-pressure curves of the substances concerned in the liquid or solid state. At the same time, the above calculations show that the constant of integration (and hence also i) is independent of the nature of the condensation product, e.g. the values for ice and liquid water are identical. Neither of the two older Laws has anything to say on this subject. 

Theoretical Calculation of the Integration Constant of the Vapour-pressure Formula.—Equation (103) was obtained almost simultaneously by Sackur and by Tetrode f we... 

F. A. H. Schreinemaker (Zeit.phys. Ghern., 36, 413, 1901) in studying the vapour pressure of ternary mixtures used the equation dyjdx = myfx + n This becomes homogeneous when x = ty is substituted. Hence show that Cxm - nx/(m - 1) = y% where G is the integration constant. 

The fugacity of a pure liquid component is close, but not identical, to its vapour pressure. By assuming the liquid incompressible, by combining the equations (5.43) and (5.79), and by integrating at constant temperature between the saturation pressure and the system pressure P, gives the relation ... 

Comparison with equation (6-20) shows that (13-67) is a thermodynamically correct expression for the vapour pressure of a monatomic substance at a high enough temperature where Ac, has a value of about — JR. In fact what has been achieved in (13-67), by means of the statistical theory, is a definite value for the integration constant in the thermodynamic equation (6-20). 

Show quite generally that the application of the statistical theory determines the value of the integration constant in equation (6 19) for the vapour pressure of a crystal. 

Specifying p (or T) eq 9.38 permits the calculation of the equilibrium temperature (or p) as function of ij. The curve T 1 ) at constant p or p l ) at constant T is called Equilibrium-Flash-Vaporization (EFV) curve. Knowing T, p and with eqs 9.36 and 9.37 the distribution functions for the phases L and Vmay be calculated.An analytical solution of the integral of eq 9.38 is only possible for 1 = 0, that is when the feed and liquid phases are equal, when the following assumptions hold (1), the distribution function of the given liquid phase has to be Gaussian and (2), the vapour pressure function p x, T) has to be calculated with a combination of Clausius-Clapeyron s equation and Trouton s rule. 

Afi/B(2b) and the vapour pressure isPo(2b), a standard value of pressure (usually chosen to be 101.325 kPa), molar volume, and C standard heat capacity at constant pressure. If more than two crystalline forms are found, or if there is only one, obvious additions or omissions must be made to or from equation (130). If iSb(s, T) or iSb(1 T) is required instead of upper limit of the integral in the fourth or sixth term on the right-hand side of equation (130) should be replaced by T, the remaining terms should be omitted, and the term [see equation (34)] ... 

It must repeatedly have been remarked, however, that these equations are not in themselves sufficient to lead to a complete solution of the problems to which they have been applied. This arises from the fact that they are differential equations, in the solution of which there always appear arbitrary constants of integration (H. M., 73,101, 121). Thus, the relation between the pressure of a saturated vapour and the temperature is expressed by the differential equation of Clausius ( 80) ... 

It is not permissible to express the constant of integration k in terms of the pressure jP, which the gas would exert if it could be obtained in the liquid state at the temperature of the experiment. Dolezalek Zeitschr. f. physikal.. Chemie 71, 206, 1910) falls into this error. Apart from the uncertainty of the extrapolation by which this pressure must be calculated when the temperature of the solution is above the critical temperature of the dissolved gas, it is also quite inadmissible to apply Margules equation to vapours which do not obey the gas laws.
