The surface tension of liquid Ag-Sn alloys decreased with increasing tin content. The effect of oxygen was investigated for oxygen partial pressure ranging from about 10À17 to 10À12 atm. The effect of oxygen on the surface tension of liquid Ag-Sn alloys is closer to pure tin rather than pure silver. Thermodynamic simulation using Butler’s equation showed that the surface of liquid Ag-Sn alloys is enriched with tin. Accordingly, the effect of oxygen adsorption on the surface tension of liquid Ag-Sn alloys was considered to be closer to that of tin than silver.

Introduction In the present work, the surface tension of liquid Ag-Sn alloys, one of the main components in lead-free solders, was Since the surface tension of liquid solder alloy determines measured by the sessile drop method with varying oxygen its wetting behavior, many researchers have investigated the partial pressure in atmosphere.

  • Solutes and Solution
    Solutes and Solution The first rule of solubility is “likes dissolve likes” Polar or ionic substances are soluble in polar solvents Non-polar substances are soluble in non- polar solvents Solutes and Solution There must be a reason why a substance is soluble in a solvent: either the solution process lowers the overall enthalpy of the system (Hrxn < 0) Or the solution process increases the overall entropy of the system (Srxn > 0) Entropy is a measure of the amount of disorder in a system—entropy must increase for any spontaneous change 1 Solutes and Solution The forces that drive the dissolution of a solute usually involve both enthalpy and entropy terms Hsoln < 0 for most species The creation of a solution takes a more ordered system (solid phase or pure liquid phase) and makes more disordered system (solute molecules are more randomly distributed throughout the solution) Saturation and Equilibrium If we have enough solute available, a solution can become saturated—the point when no more solute may be accepted into the solvent Saturation indicates an equilibrium between the pure solute and solvent and the solution solute + solvent solution KC 2 Saturation and Equilibrium solute + solvent solution KC The magnitude of KC indicates how soluble a solute is in that particular solvent If KC is large, the solute is very soluble If KC is small, the solute is only slightly soluble Saturation and Equilibrium Examples: + - NaCl(s) + H2O(l) Na (aq) + Cl (aq) KC = 37.3 A saturated solution of NaCl has a [Na+] = 6.11 M and [Cl-] =

    THE SOLUBILITY OF GASES IN LIQUIDS Introductory Information C. L. Young, R. Battino, and H. L. Clever INTRODUCTION The Solubility Data Project aims to make a comprehensive search of the literature for data on the solubility of gases, liquids and solids in liquids. Data of suitable accuracy are compiled into data sheets set out in a uniform format. The data for each system are evaluated and where data of sufficient accuracy are available values are recommended and in some cases a smoothing equation is given to represent the variation of solubility with pressure and/or temperature. A text giving an evaluation and recommended values and the compiled data sheets are published on consecutive pages. The following paper by E. Wilhelm gives a rigorous thermodynamic treatment on the solubility of gases in liquids. DEFINITION OF GAS SOLUBILITY The distinction between vapor-liquid equilibria and the solubility of gases in liquids is arbitrary. It is generally accepted that the equilibrium set up at 300K between a typical gas such as argon and a liquid such as water is gas-liquid solubility whereas the equilibrium set up between hexane and cyclohexane at 350K is an example of vapor-liquid equilibrium. However, the distinction between gas-liquid solubility and vapor-liquid equilibrium is often not so clear. The equilibria set up between methane and propane above the critical temperature of methane and below the criti­ cal temperature of propane may be classed as vapor-liquid equilibrium or as gas-liquid solubility depending on the particular range of pressure considered and the particular worker concerned.

  • Dissolved Oxygen in the Blood
    Chapter 1 – Dissolved Oxygen in the Blood Say we have a volume of blood, which we’ll represent as a beaker of fluid. Now let’s include oxygen in the gas above the blood (represented by the green circles). The oxygen exerts a certain amount of partial pressure, which is a measure of the concentration of oxygen in the gas (represented by the pink arrows). This pressure causes some of the oxygen to become dissolved in the blood. If we raise the concentration of oxygen in the gas, it will have a higher partial pressure, and consequently more oxygen will become dissolved in the blood. Keep in mind that what we are describing is a dynamic process, with oxygen coming in and out of the blood all the time, in order to maintain a certain concentration of dissolved oxygen. This is known as a) low partial pressure of oxygen b) high partial pressure of oxygen dynamic equilibrium. As you might expect, lowering the oxygen concentration in the gas would lower its partial pressure and a new equilibrium would be established with a lower dissolved oxygen concentration. In fact, the concentration of DISSOLVED oxygen in the blood (the CdO2) is directly proportional to the partial pressure of oxygen (the PO2) in the gas. This is known as Henry's Law. In this equation, the constant of proportionality is called the solubility coefficient of oxygen in blood (aO2). It is equal to 0.0031 mL / mmHg of oxygen / dL of blood. With these units, the dissolved oxygen concentration must be measured in mL / dL of blood, and the partial pressure of oxygen must be measured in mmHg.

  • Raoult's Law – Partition Law
    BAE 820 Physical Principles of Environmental Systems Henry’s Law - Raoult's Law – Partition law Dr. Zifei Liu Biological and Agricultural Engineering Henry's law • At a constant temperature, the amount of a given gas that dissolves in a given type and volume of liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas in equilibrium with that liquid. Pi = KHCi • Where Pi is the partial pressure of the gaseous solute above the solution, C is the i William Henry concentration of the dissolved gas and KH (1774-1836) is Henry’s constant with the dimensions of pressure divided by concentration. KH is different for each solute-solvent pair. Biological and Agricultural Engineering 2 Henry's law For a gas mixture, Henry's law helps to predict the amount of each gas which will go into solution. When a gas is in contact with the surface of a liquid, the amount of the gas which will go into solution is proportional to the partial pressure of that gas. An equivalent way of stating the law is that the solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the gas above the liquid. the solubility of gases generally decreases with increasing temperature. A simple rationale for Henry's law is that if the partial pressure of a gas is twice as high, then on the average twice as many molecules will hit the liquid surface in a given time interval, Biological and Agricultural Engineering 3 Air-water equilibrium Dissolution Pg or Cg Air (atm, Pa, mol/L, ppm, …) At equilibrium, Pg KH = Caq Water Caq (mol/L, mole ratio, ppm, …) Volatilization Biological and Agricultural Engineering 4 Various units of the Henry’s constant (gases in water at 25ºC) Form of K =P/C K =C /P K =P/x K =C /C equation H, pc aq H, cp aq H, px H, cc aq gas Units L∙atm/mol mol/(L∙atm) atm dimensionless -3 4 -2 O2 769 1.3×10 4.26×10 3.18×10 -4 4 -2 N2 1639 6.1×10 9.08×10 1.49×10 -2 3 CO2 29 3.4×10 1.63×10 0.832 Since all KH may be referred to as Henry's law constants, we must be quite careful to check the units, and note which version of the equation is being used.

  • An Introduction to Chapter 16: “Methods for Estimating Air Emissions from Chemical Manufacturing Facilities”
    An Introduction to Chapter 16: “Methods for Estimating Air Emissions from Chemical Manufacturing Facilities” John Allen Hatfield Mitchell Scientific, Inc. PO Box 2605 Westfield, NJ 07091-2605 [email protected] Abstract Chemical processing plays an integral part in most manufacturing operations. While the purpose of each industry is to meet different manufacturing objectives, most chemical processes include at least one or more of the four common operations: preassembly, reaction, isolation, and purification. Process operations may be continuous in nature and operate for long periods of time or they may consist of many discrete events and operate in a batch wise fashion. Measuring the air emissions from a boiler or other combustion operation is largely accomplished through stack sampling and analysis. However, assessing the air emissions that occur from a chemical process is much more involved since the process takes place at different intervals throughout the manufacturing operation. The emissions that occur during a combustion operation are fairly predictable and largely dependent upon the fuel that is being used and the boiler performance. Emissions that occur during a chemical process depend upon the solvents that are used, the chemicals that required as well as the specific types of unit operations that are followed. Having established calculation procedures that can be applied to all chemical processes without regard to industry is important because it standardizes the environmental analysis while at the same time normalizes environmental regulations. The purpose of this document is to review many of the air emission calculation models that are contained in EIIP Document Chapter 16: Methods for Estimating Air Emissions from Chemical Manufacturing Facilities , August 2007.
