Fahrenheit. The temperature scale invented by the century instrument maker Daniel Garb riel Fahrenheit that has 32.2° as waters freezing point and 212° as the boiling point. (Originally Fahrenheit set the scale, thinking that 96° was normal body temperature and 32°, waters freezing temperature. Subsequently he realized that by his scale 0°F...

As with Kk values, K( values are specific to their solvents. With waters iCf value of 1.86°C/m, aim aqueous solution containing a nonvolatile, nonelectrolye solute freezes at — 1.86 C rather than at pure waters freezing point of 0.0°C. Glycerol is a nonelectrolyte solute produced by many fish and insects to keep their blood from freezing during cold winters. Antifreeze and the de-icer contain the nonelectrolyte solute ethylene glycol. 

The cell in Fig. 4.5 represents a fixed value of chemical drive just as the original meter and the original kilogram in Paris represent fixed length and mass values. This example shows the solidification of supercooled heavy water (freezing point 276.97 K),... 

The air to be separated passes a filter and is then fed to a compressor equipped with intercoolers and separators to raise it to pressures between 50 and 200 bar. In a first heat exchanger, the air is cooled down to little more than the water freezing point and then fed to alternating adsorbers, one of which adsorbs water, carbon dioxide and such trace elements as acetylene and hydrocarbons while the other is regenerated with dry warm gas. The clean air is then led to the cryogenic section in which some of it is cooled by flashing it to approximately 6 bar in an expansion engine. Before it enters the bottom of the pressure column, it... 

Figure 6.2 shows the process flow diagram for such a plant. Air is compressed to 7-8 bar, precooled in countercurrent heat exchangers and then cooled in a chiller to near the water freezing point before the condensate is drained. Thereafter, the air is further cooled by heat exchange to something like 180°K, and the carbon dioxide, acetylene and other hydrocarbons are removed in other adsorbers. The air, which is now clean, is further cooled down in countercurrent heat exchangers and flashed in an expansion turbine. A slip stream of air...

When the temperature decreases, water becomes less soluble (see Figure 5.15) and deposits as fine droplets that begin to freeze as the temperature reaches 0°C. To prevent this occurrence, it is possible to use anti-freeze additives that absorb the water and lower the freezing point. These products, used at maximum levels of 1500 ppm, are ethers-alcohols for example, 2-methoxy... 

If, on the other hand, the thermometer has previously been used at some temperature below the freezing-point of benzene, when the bulb is originally placed in the beaker of water at 7-8 C., the mercury will rise in the capillary and ultimately collect in the upper part of the reservoir at a. When the expansion is complete, again tap the thermometer sharply at R so that this excess of mercury drops down into b, and then as before check the success of the setting by placing the thermometer m some partly frozen benzene. In either case, if the adjustment is not complete, repeat the operations, making a further small adjustment, until a satisfactory result is obtained. 

Benzene. Pure benzene (free in particular from toluene) must be used, otherwise the freezing-point is too low, and crystallisation may not occur with ice-water cooling alone. On the other hand, this benzene should not be specially dried immediately before use, as it then becomes slightly hygroscopic and does not give a steady freezing-point until it has been exposed to the air for 2-3 hours. Many compounds (particularly the carboxylic acids) associate in benzene, and molecular weights determined in this solvent should therefore be otherwise confirmed. 

Nitrobenzene. Usually rather a troublesome solvent, as it is markedly hygroscopic and the freezing-point of the solvent itself tends to fall steadily moreover it is, like benzene, an associating solvent. For a modification of the above freezing-point apparatus, by which the determination may be made in the absence of water-vapour, the student should consult an advanced textbook of practical physical chemistry. 

Glacial Acetic Acid. Acetic acid is very hygroscopic, and its freezing-point is considerably affected by the water absorbed. Satisfactory results cannot be obtained with the apparatus shown in Fig. 79, p. 433, and a specially modified apparatus must be employed (see Nitrobenzene). 

It is a well-known fact that substances like water and acetic acid can be cooled below the freezing point in this condition they are said to be supercooled (compare supersaturated solution). Such supercooled substances have vapour pressures which change in a normal manner with temperature the vapour pressure curve is represented by the dotted line ML —a continuation of ML. The curve ML lies above the vapour pressure curve of the solid and it is apparent that the vapour pressure of the supersaturated liquid is greater than that of the solid. The supercooled liquid is in a condition of metastabUity. As soon as crystallisation sets in, the temperature rises to the true freezing or melting point. It will be observed that no dotted continuation of the vapour pressure curve of the solid is shown this would mean a suspended transformation in the change from the solid to the liquid state. Such a change has not been observed nor is it theoretically possible. 

When freshly exposed to air, thallium exhibits a metallic luster, but soon develops a bluish-gray tinge, resembling lead in appearance. A heavy oxide builds up on thallium if left in air, and in the presence of water the hydride is formed. The metal is very soft and malleable. It can be cut with a knife. Twenty five isotopic forms of thallium, with atomic masses ranging from 184 to 210 are recognized. Natural thallium is a mixture of two isotopes. A mercury-thallium alloy, which forms a eutectic at 8.5% thallium, is reported to freeze at -60C, some 20 degrees below the freezing point of mercury. 

DMSO - Dimethylsulphoxide is a very common solvent with a freezing point of 20 degrees. When you buy this stuff it will be crystallised in the bottle. To melt, all you need to do is place the bottle in a bowl of hot water for 30 minutes - simple. If you re lucky enough to live somewhere warm it may already be liquid, where I live, no chance. When you open the bottle you will notice that this stuff smells a bit farty, don t worry too much, it doesn t get that bad. 500ml straight into the reaction flask and start the stirrer.
