The authors discuss Schroeder s paradox, referred to elsewhere in this review, and the fact that liquid water uptake increases but saturated water uptake decreases with temperature. And, at low temperature, the water uptake by membranes in contact with saturated vapor is greater than that by membranes in contact with liquid water, which suggests a fundamental difference in membrane microstructure for the two situations. An energy level diagram of thermodynamic states versus temperature was proposed, based on this Flory—Huggins-based model.

Thus, once an excitation mechanism efficiently pumps the molecules into higher energy levels (J> 10), a population inversion between the two levels may occur. It is interesting to note, as Oka (1971) has pointed out, that the microwave transition which is observed in interstellar space, is the first way out of the strongly populated/0,j and/ j levels. Similar considerations hold for para-water whose 313 - 2 transition at 183.3 GHz is, therefore, of particular interest. On the basis of this model we might mention that H2S has a similar energy level diagram. Two transitions could be expected to show maser emission 414 — 321 = 204.140 GHz of ortho-H2S and 313 — 2M = 392.618 GHz of para-H2S. 

Fig. 2. Energy-level diagrams giving the d-orbital splittings as an octahedral complex undergoes increasing tetragonal distortion. Here E is energy, A0 is the splitting between the eg (upper) and t2g (lower) orbitals in an octahedral field, and rex is the lifetime of a water molecule in the inner coordination sphere...

The electrostatic model for the hydrated vanadyl ion consists of V situated in a tetragonal dectric field caused by the oxide iwater dipoles. The crystal field energy level diagram for such a situation is given in Fig. 1. 

Figure 15.22 is an enthalpy level diagram that shows the processes which occur when silver chloride, an almost insoluble salt, is placed in water. Figure 15.23 is an energy level diagram that shows the processes which occur when silver fluoride, a very soluble salt, is placed in water. Note the larger positive enthalpy of solution for silver chloride compared to silver fluoride.
