Pre- viously in this laboratory the P-V-T relationships of pure hydrogen, pure nitrogen and one hydrogen- nitrogen mixture had been determined?. Physical + 4A. S. Friedman, Ph. D.

EQUATIONS OF STATE FOR GASES In 1662 Boyle observed changes in vol- ume of air with changing pressures and recorded his observations in what is known today as Boyle's Law: constant temperature the volume of a definite mass of gas is inversely proportional to the pressure," that is, V at » or PV = constant. The variation of the volume of a gas with tempera- ture was observed by Gay-Lussac and independently by Charles. Their law states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature, that is, VT. From these laws, the ideal gas law, PV = RT can be derived. The ideal gas law can also be derived from simple kinetic theory”. This law was found 2. Mayer and Mayer, Statistical Mechanics (1940). to apply only at high temperatures and low pres- sures. It was necessary, in order to explain the behavior of gases at low temperatures and high pres- sures, to develop an equation of state which would account for the deviations from the ideal gas law. One of the best Imown equations of state is the Ven der Waal's equation, (P= -S)v- bd) eer. This equation makes allowances for the attractive and repulsive forces between the molecules of the gas. The correction term applied to the pressure, +r , is a measure of the attractive force of the molecules. The volume correction term b takes into account the finite size of the melecules and its effect 1s to reduce the effective volume of the mol- ecules. It is equal in magnitude to about four times the actual volume of the molecules. At ex- tremely low pressures V is large, which makes the term + very small, and b becomes negligible com- pared with V. The equation then reduces to that for the ideal gas, PV = RT. Although the Van der Waal's equation gives a satisfactory qualitative representation of the behavior of gases, 1t fails quantitatively in some aspects. It 1s found that the constants a end b change with temperature and b changes with pressure. R. Clausius (1880) made the following proposal to compensate for the change in a with temperature: [P+ awit] (vi-b) = RT. The introduction of four constants, a, bd, c, and R, into an equation of state mkes it difficult to deal with mathematically. For this reason the Clausius equation has found relatively little ap- plication. Berthelot eliminated the constant c from the Clausius equation, expanded it, and mod- ified it to include the eritical constants. His expression is PV = RE [a+ 2 tH a-6 3] 128 Rh T v This equation holds best at low pressures and is only applicable over 4 limited range. The Dieterici equation of state, -o% ps See e RTV , 4s © modification of the Van der Waal's equation in thet it introduces the concept of a difference in potential energy existing between the molecules in the bulk of a gas and those near the walls. At relatively low pressures, the exponential of the Dieterici equation can be expanded and then reduced to the Van der Waal's equation. Various writers on the kinetic theory have suggested that the deviation of gases from the ideal gas lew was caused in part by molecular "ag- gregetion," which includes association involving valence or analagous forces as well as that asso- ciation resulting from prolonged contact between molecules on collision. The equation of Beattie and Bridgeman 1s an attempt to include this cor- rection and takes the form, Pe = (v + B) - + > where AP ACL + Ss BoB (2- 2B); -s- This equation has five empirical constants, Ao, Bos & by 0, in addition to R.

APPLICATION OF THE LENNARD-JONES POTENTIAL TO THE MIXTURES In Part A - II the relationship between the second viriel coefficient and the intermolecular force constants was established; Bir) = 2/37a* Fly) , B(7) and y are functions of temperature only. This makes it possible to find values of n, m, A, and B which would make Br) agree with the observed result. A value of 6 may be assigned to m in order to adequately describe the force of attraction‘. If log /F(y)/ 1s plotted against arBur lee y on one sheet of graph paper and log /B(7)] against log T on another transparent 106 sheet with the same scale, the two curves may be superimposed if a proper selection for the value of n 4s made. Tho shape of the curve determines mand n®. The horizontal and vertical transform- ations necessary determine the values of A, B, and 4, and hence, x, andé, since log /Bm/ - log /Fly)/ = log 2/s7 a? , and log T - log y = log (-&/c) t 2 log 2. The values of log /Bi7)/ vs log T for the three hydrogen-nitrogen mixtures were plotted and were found to fit a curve with the values m= 6 and n = 12 (see Figure VIII). ‘The hor- izontel and vertical transformations were obtained and from them the intermolecular force constants were calculated. The values are listed in Table IXVII. It 4s possible to calculate the Boyle temp- erature from a Imowledge of the values of the intermolecular force constants‘.

Friedman, ahd H. L. Johnston, The Forces of Interaction in a Solution of Two Non-Polar Gases: Hydrogen and Nitrogen (in prep- aration). 114 oratory has made a proposal concerning a relation- ship between the force constants of the mixture and those of the pure components. The second virial coefficient of the mixture is related to those of the pure compon- ents by, BO) mix M a a Ny Br), + 2N, Ny Bir), + NP Bir, where N, = mole fraction of hydrogen Nz = mole fraction of nitrogen B(7), = second virial coefficient of hydrogen B(7k, = second virial coefficient of nitrogen Bi, = the interaction virial. From the P-V-T data produced in this laboratory for hydrogen, nitrogen and hydrogen-nitrogen Mixture #1 (59.56% Hy, 40.44% N,)" white calculated the interaction virial from the equation, We ye B(7)_ = —Bitimia = Ni BO), = No BI 3 ea . 115 He found that the hydrogen, nitrogen, and the hydrogen-nitrogen mixture fitted a 6,12-Lennard~ Jones potential curve (m= 6, n= 12). The values obtained for the interaction virial, B(7),,, were plotted against temperature and were also found to fit a 6,12-Lennerd-Jones potential curve. Using the value of B(r)z obtained in this manner, he computed the second virial coeffi- cients of mixtures at 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8 mole fractions of hydrogen. These mixtures were found to fit a 6,12-Lennard-Jones plot. Table IXIX compares the second virial coefficients, Bcr),,, , obtained by this method with those obtained experimentelly in this research. The data from this table are plotted in Figures XII, XIII, and XIV. There is fair agreement between the theoretical B(7).,,,.'8 and the experimental BCr),,;,.18 at temperatures above 125°K. This may be @ satisfactory method of estimating the second virial coefficients of mixtures to a first approx- imation 1f the second viriel coefficients are mown for the pure gases and one mixture.

The agreement between the force constants of his "theoretical mixtures" and those derived from the linear com- bination of the pure components 1s good. However, the actual experimentgl values obtained from the data of this research for the mixtures do not give results which agree with those obtained using his combination rule. Table LXXI lists a comparison between the values from the experimental data and those from the linear combination rule. Although there is agreement between these two methods as to the order of magnitude of the intermolecular force constants, the agreement in general is poor compared with that which white calculated for his "theoretical mixtures." An ex- planation of White's apparent good agreement be- 121 tween the calculated molecular force constants and those from the linear combination rule seems to lie in the fact that there is accidental good agreement between the force constants of Mixture #1. All the other "theoretical mixtures" are com- pletely dependent upon the values of this mixture. It is seon in Table LXXI thet Mixture #3 (Ny, = .2074) agreos well with White's linear combination rule proposal. When P-V-T data are lacking for mix- tures, it seems that, for a first approximation, one may apply the linear combination rule of White and obtain approximate intermolecular force con- stents. These in turn can be used to obtain the second virial coefficients of the mixtures. a, 1.00 0.80 0.60 0.4044 0.20 0.00 a 0.8870 0.6617 0.2074 Na 0.00 0.20 0.40 0.5956 0.80 1.00 My 0.1130 0.3383 0.7926 TABLE LXX (seo) (-€/e) n (mix) (cale) (mix) (deg) (deg) (8) 95.93 4.15 82.60 82.88 3.98 70.15 69.83 3.86 58.34 57.07 3.71 43.65 43.74 3.53 30.69 3.35 TABLE LXXI (-6fc) (= & fe) x (exptl) (calc) (mix) (deg) (deg) (R) 84.9 88.6 4.29 74.6 73.9 4.01 45.9 44.2 3.55 122 Tp) (cale) (a) 3.99 3.83 3.67 3.51 123 IIL, APPLICATION OF THE LENNARD-JONES POTENTIAL AION OF THE LENNARD-JONES POTENTIAL TO THE DEUTERIUM DATA A treatment similar to that described for the mixtures has been made for deuterium with the results thet, % = 3.30 8 do = 2.94 8 - = 4.61 X10 ergs (+ @/c) = 33.42 deg.

FUGACITIES AND FREE ENERGIES O HYDROGEN, NITROGEN, AND THEIR MIXTURES The data available for treatment in this section consist of P-V-T relationships of pure hydrogen, pure nitrogen, and four hydrogen- nitrogen mixtures of the following compositions: Mixture Ny, #8 0.7926 #1 0.5956 #4 0.3383 #2 0.1130 The date for hydrogen, nitrogen, and Mixture #1 are teken from the dissertation of A.

Gibson and Sosnick”® tested the Lewis nN 28. Gibson and Sosnick, J. Am. Chem.

At 100 atmos- pheres the errors ranged from zero to about 100%. Merz and Whittaker® also made a test 29. Merz and Whittaker, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 50, 1522 (1928). of the rule with hydrogen-nitrogen mixtures at one temperature and found similar deviations.

It is seen from the curves that Mixture #2 at 300°K behaves as a perfect solution to within 0.2%, whereas at 200°K it deviates from the Lewis and Randall rule by 30% at 200 atmospheres pressure. The Boyle temperature of Mixture #2 1s 296K. The free energies of the hydrogen, nitrogen, and their mixtures were calculated by multiplying log f by 2.3026 RT, end ere listed in Tables LXV, LXXVI, LXXVII, and LXXVIII. 133 TABLE LXXIII DATA FOR TEST OF LEWIS AND RANDALL RULE Temp = 200°K Pressure Mixture *1 Mixture #2 Mixture #3 Mixture #4 (atm. ) (&:/N1f,°) (G/N14°) (6/Nih°) (&)/Nf°) 10 1,002 1,016 1,001 1,007 25 1,006 1,036 1,001 1,015 50 1,014 1,089 1,003 1,034 75 1,019 1,132 1,004 1,049 100 1,016 1,234 1,004 1,060 150 1,036 1,244 1,006 1 200 1,040 1,294 1,008 1144 TABLE LXXIV Temp = 300°K Pressure = Mixture *1 = Mixture #2 Mixture #3 Mixture #4 (atm, ) (f2/Naf2°) (f2/Nef2°) (t2/N2f2°) (£2/Naf2°) 10 1,003 1,000 1,005 1,002 25 1,007 1,001 1,010 1,002 50 1,013 1,001 1,019 1,005 75 1,018 1,001 1,025 1,006 100 1,021 1,002 1,030 1,008 150 1, 038 1,002 1,050 1,012 200 1,033 1,001 1,061 1,016 4 Trax 3YNOI4 (‘wyd) aunsseig 002 0S!

At liquid nitrogen temperatures (64°K to 125°K), hydrogen is above its critical temperature and its saturation pressure cannot be measured experimentally. In this case the satur- ation pressure, which has no clear physical moan- ing, can be obtained by extrapolating the marly straight line in the plot of log p va 1/f. Then the reciprocal of the value thus obtained, with Pz, © 1 atmosphere., is a measure of the solubility of the gas in the liquid, N, = 1/p%. The vapor pressure data on hydrogen obtained in this laboratory! was used to determine the values of the saturation pressures in the liquid nitrogen range. Table LXXIX lists the ideal solubilities at various temperatures. Fuga- cities were also calculated at the saturation pres- sures. Solubilities calculated from these are also 141 listed in this table. The differences between the two are not great enough to overcome the error arising from deviations from Raoult's law. 142 TABLE LXXIX IDEAL HYDROGEN SOLUBILITIES 5 fat oo Na, x100 Np,x 100 T(°K) palatm) —pz=1 fat p from Tom 1/p° f/f 69 119 997-101 - 84 +99 75 141 +998 = 129 +71 +77 80 159 +999 153 63 = 65 90 194 +999 206 +52 48 100 228 1,000 259 44 39 125 303 -- -- +33 oc 143 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I wish to acknowledge my indebted- ness to Dr. H. L. Johnston, my preceptor. Special thanks are due him for having accepted me as one of his students and for having proposed this prob- lem. Through his generous efforts he has obtained funds to support this project. Thanks are due to the many persons in the cryogenic laboratory who had in one way or another assisted in the accomplishment of this research, more particularly to Dr. David White who directed the project and Mr. Lester Cox, shop foreman, who maintained the apperatus. 144 AUTOBIOGRAPHY I, Max Trzeciak, was born in Cleveland, Ohio, January 29, 1921. I received my elementary and secondary education in the public schools of Glevelend. ly undergraduate training was received at The Ohio State University from which I obtained the degree Bachelor of Science in Chemistry in 1948. Between my sophomore and junior years I spent 39 months in the U. 8. Army. During most of my time in the army I was a blood chemist in a hospital laboratory. Upon receiving the B.S. degree I en- tered the Graduate School of The Ohio State Univ- ersity end remained a graduate student working as @ research fellow in chemistry under Dr. H. L. Johnston until January, 1952. At this time I Joined Dr. Johnston's private firm working in the eryogenic field for one year. I was appointed a research assistant in the Chemistry Department and held this position while completing the require- ments for the degree Doctor of Philosophy.
