Volume equation

For pure hydrocarbons, the method of Ambrose" is the most accurate and will also be useful for predicting critical pressure and volume. Equation (2-1) requires only the norm boiling point, Tb, and the molecular structure of the compound. 

Equations for derived properties may be developed from each of these expressions. Consider first Eq. (4-190), which is explicit in volume. Equations (4-159), (4-161), and (4-176) are therefore applicable. Direct substitution for Z in Eq. (4-161) gives...

Again it is seen that only when second order effects need to be considered does the relationship become more complicated. The dead volume is made up of many components, and they need not be identified and understood, particularly if the thermodynamic properties of a distribution system are to be examined. As a consequence, the subject of the column dead volume and its measurement in chromatography systems will need to be extensively investigated. Initially, however, the retention volume equation will be examined in more detail.

Fig. 3. Reduced time plots, tr = (t/t0.9), for the contracting area and contracting volume equations [eqn. (7), n = 2 and 3], diffusion-controlled reactions proceedings in one [eqn. (10)], two [eqn. (13)] and three [eqn. (14)] dimensions, the Ginstling— Brounshtein equation [eqn. (11)] and first-, second- and third-order reactions [eqns. (15)—(17)]. Diffusion control is shown as a full line, interface advance as a broken line and reaction orders are dotted. Rate processes become more strongly deceleratory as the number of dimensions in which interface advance occurs is increased. The numbers on the curves indicate the equation numbers.

Taylor [648] has shown that the deceleratory decomposition of HgO is satisfactorily described by the contracting volume equation [eqn. (7), n = 3], Calculated values of E (162—201 kJ mole rise with increasing crystallite size and are somewhat greater than the enthalpy of dissociation (160 kJ mole 1). Since estimated values of A are consistent with the predictions of the Polanyi—Wigner equation, eqn. (19), it is concluded that breakdown involves the detachment of individual molecules rather than the unzipping of the long zig-zag polymeric —Hg—O— chains which constitute the reactant lattice. 

Vacuum decomposition (509—608 K) occurred [738,739] in a single stage and obeyed the contracting volume equation [eqn. (7), n = 3] with E = 168—174 kJ mole-1. Both grinding and ageing influenced the reaction rate. 

Most mixed and complex ammonium metal sulphates (and selenates) [948,949] lose NH3, H20 and S03 (or Se03) to form the simple metal sulphate (or selenate) some of the ammonia may be oxidized [949]. The basic aluminium ammonium sulphate [950], (NH4)20 3 A1203 4 S03 xH20 (x = 6—8), loses water at 473 K. Deammination and complete dehydration commences at >673 K, and S03 evolution starts at about 873 K to yield residual A1203 which contains traces of S03. a—Time data for most of the stages obeyed the contracting volume equation [eqn. (7), n = 3] [951]. 

Hajek et al. [173] have reported a detailed kinetic study of the solid phase decomposition of the ammonium salts of terephthalic and iso-phthalic acids in an inert-gas fluidized bed (373—473 K). Simultaneous release of both NH3 molecules occurred in the diammonium salts, without dehydration or amide formation. Reactant crystallites maintained their external shape and size during decomposition, the rate obeying the contracting volume equation [eqn. (7), n = 3]. For reaction at 423 K of material having particle sizes 0.25—0.40 mm, the rate coefficients for decompositions of diammonium terephthalate, monoammonium tere-phthalate and diammonium isophthalate were in the ratio 7.4 1.0 134 and values of E (in the same sequence) were 87,108 and 99 kJ mole-1. 

The kinetics of the contributory rate processes could be described [995] by the contracting volume equation [eqn. (7), n = 3], sometimes preceded by an approximately linear region and values of E for isothermal reactions in air were 175, 133 and 143 kJ mole-1. It was concluded [995] that the rate-limiting step for decomposition in inert atmospheres is NH3 evolution while in oxidizing atmospheres it is the release of H20. A detailed discussion of the reaction mechanisms has been given [995]. Thermal analyses for the decomposition in air [991,996] revealed only the hexavanadate intermediate and values of E for the two steps detected were 180 and 163 kJ mole-1. 

These salts decompose [39] to the carbonates in the temperature intervals Li, 811-826 K Na, 737-814 K and K, 754-798 K (from DTA measurements, 5 K min-1). The reaction of lithium oxalate [98] (742— 765 K) obeyed the contracting volume equation [eqn. (7), n = 3] with E = 223 13 kJ mole-1. A marked increase in surface area during the initial stages of decomposition was later followed by extensive sintering.
