A.. Statement of the Problem

In connection with an investigation of the thermo­ dynamic properties of titanium halides, particularly titanium , it became apparent that the vapor pressure of solid titanium tetrachloride had not been measured experimentally and that there were discrep­ ancies between the results of the previous investi- (12 3) gators * * who had measured values for liquid

The work of this dissertation was undertaken in order to check on these results and to extend the range of measurement far enough to obtain experimental vapor pressure values for solid titanium tetrachloride, so that related thermodynamic properties such as heat and entropy of vaporization and sublimation could be calculated. Spectrophotometric methods ap­ peared suitable for most of the temperature and pressure range to be explored; in connection with their use, the absorption spectrum of titanium tetrachloride vapor was determined over the visible and ultraviolet wave-length range since it was not known with precision at that time.

(3) and Zeppernick, who found that their measured vapor pressures were consistently lower than those of Arii in the same temperature range and attributed this differ­ ence to the presence of residual inert gas in the measuring cell of Aril's apparatus. Aril's measurements O 0 covered the range from 4-08.16 K to 293.16 K: Schaefer and Zeppernick1s from 359.56°K to 312.76°K. The dis­ crepancy between the two sets of results and the lack of data below 293.16°K made it desirable to check both sets over at least a part of their temperature range and to obtain further information for temperatures below

293.16°K. (5) The experimental work of Latimer on the specific 3

Similar calculations have been performed by Hawkins

-and Carpenter for the range 10Q°K to 500°K, using

a slightly different value (2.ISA) for the Ti-Cl bond

distance than those quoted by Skinner (2.21^0.05A

and 2.18+0.04A). At 150°K and above, Skinner's cal­

culated heat capacity values are about 0.04 cal/mol°K

higher than those of Hawkins and Carpenter, with cor­

responding differences in the values for the other

thermal functions. There is substantial agreement

regarding the infra-red and Raman vibration frequen­

cies used in the calculations.

There have been two direct calorimetric determina­

tions of the heat of fusion of solid titanium tetra­

chloride: one by Latimer on material of unspecified (9) purity; and one by the National Bureau of Standards

Latimer's: 2330 cal/mol as compared with 2233 cal/mol.

On the assumption that their experimental methods were

at least as accurate as Latimer's their value was con­

sidered the more reliable on account of the high purity

of the material used.

The melting temperature of the solid has also been

determined by Latimer (24S.0°K) and by Furukawa

(249.045^0.015°K). Furukawa1s value was determined by

extrapolatiaaof the melting curve on highly purified

material and was therefore considered the more reliable

of the two values.

No data have been reported on the absorption spec­ trum of solid titanium tetrachloride. The absorption spectrum of the pure liquid from 2-15 mu has recently (n ) been reported by Gilchrist and co-workers*' ' As

frequency assignments for the infra-red bands which

they observed, they were able to obtain what they con­

sidered to be good agreement between the frequencies

observed by them and those which they calculated from

Raman data reported by several previous investigators.

The most recently reported infra-red absorption

data on titanium tetrachloride vapor were obtained by (8 ) Hawkins and Carpenter ' 1 over the wave-length range

6-22 mu. Although they observed two questionable ab­

sorption bands at their highest operating temperature

(125°C) they considered that these were probably due to impurities. They reported good agreement between observed frequencies and those which they calculated -7- on the basis of their frequency assignments, using ex­ perimental Raman frequencies from previous investigators.

In connection with their work on the tetrachlorides of , silicon, tin and titanium, Dutta and Saha

(14) A. K. Dutta and M. N. Saha, Bulletin of the Academy of Sciences of the United Provinces of Agra and Oudh, India, 1, 19-25 (1931-32). reported a long-wave-length absorption limit of 336 mmu for titanium tetrachloride vapor but did not investigate the continuum in detail for shorter wave lengths than this. The results of such an investigation in the region from 240 mmu to 360 mmu have recently been reported by (15) Mason and Vango, who found a maximum in the absorbancy

(15) David M. Mason and Stephen P. Vango, Journal of Physical Chemistry, ^0, 622 (1956). at 230 mmu and a molar absorbancy index at this wave length of 7.29 x 10^ l/mol cm. Since they used Arii's (4) data as recalculated by Kelley for vapor pressure

(4 ) K. K. Kelley, op. cit. values corresponding to their observed absorbancies, the pressure may have been too high, and the calculated molar absorbancy values therefore too low. This point is discussed further in Section IV. -8-

Although heats of vaporization have been calculated from vapor pressure data. no direct calorimetric

(6 ) Gordon Skinner, op. cit.. p. 47. determinations have been reported. No values for the heat of sublimation of titanium tetrachloride have been reported either from vapor pressure measurements or direct calorimetry.

It thus appeared that the vapor pressure should be further investigated, especially if the measurements could be extended to sufficiently low temperatures to yield information on the sublimation equilibrium for solid titanium tetrachloride. II. EXPERIMENTAL WORK

Three types of experiments were performed: absolute vapor pressure measurements above 10 mm Hg; relative spectrophotometric measurements at 279*3 mmu over the

10 to 0.01 mm Hg range; and spectrophotometric measure- ) ments at constant pressure over the wave length range from 200 to 930 mmu.

Because of the high reactivity of titanium tetra­ chloride, sealed systems were used for storage, transfer and vapor pressure measurement of the high-purity material used in this investigation.

The experience of Sanderson and MacWood had indi­ cated that the sensitivity of available spoon gauges was (17) about 0.03 mm, using the gauge as a null indicator.

(17) Benjamin S. Sanderson and George E. MacWood, Journal of Physical Chemistry, £2, 316-319 (1956).

Absolute vapor pressure measurements were therefore made with a spoon gauge, a large-bore H-type mercury manometer being used to measure the pressure in the reference system. -10-

Preliminary absorbance measurements on titanium tetra­ chloride vapor together with the vapor pressure results of Arii^^ showed that relative vapor pressures could be

(l) Arii, op. cit. measured near the melting point with cells of 50 mm optical path. The spectrophotometric measurements were therefore begun at this path length; cells of 5 mm and

1 mm path length were used later in order to extend the spectrophotometric measurements up to the range of the absolute measurements.

A. Apparatus.

Transfer Systems.

Conventional systems were used in transferring titanium tetrachloride from the NBS storage ampoules as shown in Fig­ ure 1. Excepting for the optical cells F, which were of fused silica with Vycor sidearms, the systems were made of

Pyrex. The sidearms of the 1 mm and 5 mm optical cells were attached to the manifold at G by means of graded Vycor-to-

Pyrex seals.

The system used for filling the 50 mm optical cells was similar to that shown in Figure 1, except that it had no sample holders, storage bulb, nor hot-air ovens. The cells were attached at G by means of standard taper 12/5 spherical joints, sealed with a thin layer of Apiezon black wax and kept cool during torching of the system by Figure 1, Vacuum System for Filling Optical Cells

ure in reference section R, or isolation of the mercury

manometer from R; evacuation of the reference arm of the

mercury manometer; isolation of either side of the spoon

and control of the temperature of the vapor and of the

liquid in S.

suspended between the reference and working arms of the

manometer. The temperature of the manometer and bar

was read from a thermometer suspended inside the glass

fronted wooden case in which the manometer was housed.

The null position of the spoon gauge pointer was

determined with a 40X Gaertner microscope (OSU Serial

No. 234&92)using diffuse illumination from the rear.

The temperature of the spoon gauge and of the titan­

ium tetrachloride vapor in the sample section was

measured at points "xn (Figure 2) with iron-constantan

thermocouples and a portable potentiometer (L&N, Model

8662, OSU Serial No. 189235). The gauge thermocouple was also used as the sensing element for a controller

(Foxboro, Model 4041-5, OSU Serial No. I69648) and relay to regulate the temperature.

Coarse control of the temperature of the water bath was accomplished by means of a mercury-in-glass thermo­ regulator, electronic relay (Fisher-Serfass) and 125-watt heater. Temperatures were read at a thermometer current of 2.0 ma with a platinum resistance thermometer (L&N,

Thermohm, Serial No. 723009), Mueller bridge (Rubicon,

Serial No. 46826) and box galvanometer (Rubicon, Type

3404-H)- An auxiliary 125-watt heater and manually- operated Variac were used for precise temperature control during runs. -17-

Svstem for Spectrophotometric Measurements.

A Beckman DU spectrophotometer (Serial No. 30563) was modified for the measurements by installation of the cell compartment shown in Figure 3. This figure shows a side view of the outer case together with a section through the center line of the sample cell. Provision was in­ cluded in the system for measurement and control of temperature T of the coondensed phase in the sidearm and

T* of the vapor phase in the optical cell; for positioning the sample or reference cell in the beam; and for calibra­ tion of the thermocouples in situ relative to the plati­ num resistance thermometer mentioned above.

EMF’s of the copper-constantan and ehromel-alumel thermocouples were measured with a K-2 potentiometer,

Rubicon Type 3404-2 galvanometer, and Eppley standard cell (OSU Serial No. 130307). In order to avoid flexure of the thermocouple leads as the optical cells were moved perpendicular to the light beam, the leads were brought out to the K-2 through the center of the slide handle D.

Temperatures below 0°G were obtained with a trichloro- ethylene or calcium-chloride-water bath cooled by packing solid carbon dioxide between the Dewar P and an outer case

(not shown in the figure). Above 0°C, the bath was cooled by circulating water between copper coils in it and in an ice bath. Heat was supplied by a 125-watt blade heater, thyratron circuit, and mercury-in-glass thermoregulator. Figure 3

The optical cells had fused silica bodies and win­ dows j the long sidearms of the sample cells were made of Vycor. The short sidearms of the 1 mm and 5 mm reference cells were fused shut under vacuum before the cells were used; the standard taper sidearm of the 50 mm reference cell was closed with a stopper.

B . Operating Procedures.

Sample Transfer.

The system for the 50 mm cells was held at 1.3x10“^ mm Hg or less for 4 hours, torched intermittently for

2.5 hours, and then cut off at C from the vacuum section

A (Figure l). After transfer the filled 50 mm cells were removed from the manifold by fusing the sidearms closed about 5 cm below the joints. The same procedure was used for the 1 and 5 mm cells F and ampoules H and I except —5 o that the system was held at about 1x10 mm Hg and 370 C for 13 hours before it was cut off from A. The filled am­ poules were sealed off after the cells had been removed.

Absolute Vapor Pressure Measurements.

The sample section was held at a pressure of 5x10*"-’ mm

Hg or less for about 35 hours; during this period the tem­ perature of the tubing near K (Figure 2) was about 22 5°C and the thermocouples on the spoon gauge bulb L and sample holder H read about 360°G. The sample section was then isolated fromthe reference section by sealing it off at

K, and the sample admitted. -21-

Before each run, the zero resistance and resistance ratio of the fixed armsviere checked on the,Mueller bridge.

Operations during the run were recorded vs. time, which was read to the nearest second from a continuously- running tenth-second electric timer.

After the temperature of the bath had been adjusted, the sequence of operations was as follows; reading of the bridge temperature and bridge resistance; balancing of the spoon gaugej isolation of the reference manometerj reading of bridge temperature and resistance; reading of the manometer and manometer temperature; reopening of the manometer to the manifold; reading of the vapor phase thermocouples. The sequence was repeated twice at each temperature, the balance point of the spoon gauge being approached alternately from the direction of high and low pressure. Since the average drift rate was about

0.001°G/min, the bath temperatures usually varied less o than 0.03 C during each sequence.

The zero reading for the spoon gauge was determined at intervals by freezing out the sample with liquid nitrogen and evacuating the reference section to a pressure of 5 x 10~** mm Hg or less, with the mercury manometer closed off at C (Figure 2).

The zero reading for the mercury manometer was similarly determined with the spoon gauge balanced and then isolated from the manifold at I (Figure 2). -22-

Data were taken from 298.5 to 319.1°K in order to

overlap the data of Schaefer and Zeppernick starting at

312.8°K.

Spectrophotometric Measurements.

After the adjustment of the bath temperature, the fol­

lowing sequence of operations was used for the runs at a

constant wave length of 279.8 mmu: reading of the EMF

of the cell thermocouplej reading of the EMF of the side-

arm thermocouplej balancing of the spectrophotometer for

100$ transmission of the reference cell and reading the

absorbance of the sample cellj reading of the sidearm

thermocouple EMFj alternate spectrophotometer and sidearm

thermocouple readings until from 2 to 5 spectrophotometer

readings had been obtainedj reading of the EMF of the cell

thermocouple. The EMF and absorbance readings were re­

corded vs. time as in the procedure for absolute vapor

pressure measurements. The average drift rate of the

cell and sidearm temperatures was about 0.02°c/minj

runs at each temperature lasted about 8.5 min.

The absorbance of the empty sample cell vs. the-

reference cell was determined in the same way as des­

cribed above except that liquid nitrogen was used as the bath and heat transfer liquid so that the titanium tetra­

chloride was frozen out in the sidea_rm. The temperature

of the cell was varied over a range wide enough to include the range of temperature variation during the runs. In the determination of the absorbance of the empty

1 mm sample cell vs. the reference cell over the wave length range from 980 to 200 mmu, the range was covered from long to shorter wave lengths. The sample was frozen out in the sidea-rm as described above.

The absorbance of the sample cell and vapor was measured as a function of the wave length at a pressure o of 13.7 mm Hg and a sidearm temperature of 302.6 K; the cell temperature varied between 312°K and 318.5°K. The operating sequence for these measurements was the same as described above for the runs at 279.8 mmu.

Calibration of Thermocouples.

Both thermocouples were calibrated in situ. The copper-constantan sidearm thermocouple was fastened by its thread suspension to a small wire loop inside the cell compartment and the sidearm replaced with a platinum re­ sistance thermometer. Below 0°C the bath temperatures were stabilized by operating at the freezing points of chloro­ form (-63.5°C), ethylene dichloride (-36°C), carbon tetra­ chloride (-22.9°C) and tertiary amyl alcohol (-12°C).

The Mueller bridge readings and thermocouple EMF readings were recorded vs. time as described above. The average drift rates were about 0.0064°C/min for the thermocouple and 0.0048°C/min for the resistance thermometer.

The chromel-alumel cell thermocouple was calibrated by substituting a cylindrical aluminum block for the -24-

sample cell, with the resistance thermometer inserted in a hole along the longitudinal axis of the block* The average drift rates were about 0.0043°C/min for the thermocouple and about 0,0028°C/min for the resistance thermometer. III. ANALYSIS OF DATA

After reduction of the instrument readings to values

of pressure, temperature, absorbance, etc., the absolute

vapor pressures were analyzed by the method of least

squares to obtain values for the constants in the vapor

pressure equations for the liquid and for the solid.

These equations were then used together with the spectro-

photometric data to obtain the molar absorbancy index of

the vapor, first at 279.8 mmu and then over the range

from 200 to 980 mmu. Tables of thermal functions for

the gas and the solid liquid were calculated using the

vapor pressure results of this and one other investiga­

tion.

The details of the analysis, including an estimation

of errors, are given below.

A. Reduction of Observations.

Time.

Instrument readings were recorded to the nearest

second as functions of time, which was considered as the

independent variable for purposes of initial reduction

of data. For a particular kind of experiment, instrument readings corresponding to one of the variables were used directly and simultaneous readings for the other variables involved in the experiment were obtained by linear inter­ polation with respect to time. Graphical plots of EMF -26- vs. time for some of the early spectrophotometric data

indicated that for time intervals up to about 300 sec the deviation from linearity was small. Most of the

interpolations were therefore performed arithmetically.

For absolute measurements, the time at which the

spoon gauge was balanced and the mercury manometer locked was recorded and the corresponding Mueller bridge readings

Usually this was the same as the average value for the period during which the readings were being taken on the locked manometer.

For spectrophotometric measurements, directly ob­ served values of the absorbance were used and the corres­ ponding cell and sidearm thermocouple EMF values obtained by interpolation.

EMF values obtained during thermocouple calibration experiments were used directly} the corresponding Mueller bridge readings for the platinum resistance thermometer were interpolated.

Thermocouple Me a s urerne nts.

Precise knowledge of the temperature of the vapor phase was not required for the absolute manometric ex­ periments, except that the temperature of the vapor phase should always be greater than that of the liquid. The

EMF values of the iron-constantan thermocouples were therefore recorded to the nearest microvolt and the vapor phase temperatures calculated from them by linear inter­ polation in standard tables (23). No calibration curves

(23) Leeds, and Northrup Standard Conversion Tables, No. 31031, p. 8. were used in the calculation, and the temperatures were not tabulated. They were approximately 15°C greater than the bath temperatures.

For the spectrophotometric work, it was necessary to have fairly precise knowledge of the temperature of both the condensed phase in the sidearm (T) and the vapor phase in the optical cell (T>). The general re­ duction scheme was to use tables of EMF vs. temperature for approximate temperature calculations from experimental

EMF values obtained during the runs. The approximate temperatures were adjusted by means of large scale devia­ tion plots to the temperature scale used in the absdute measurements. Data for the deviation plots were obtained during calibration experiments on the thermocouples; mean values of the data were plotted.

Above the ice point, for the copper-constantan thermocouple, the following EMF-temperature relation was used:

(5) 6s = -7145.264.7 + 13*865610 + .04500To2, T q¥ 273.16, obtained from

Values of £s the standard EMF were calculated from

the experimental EMF values and the relation:

where A was read from a deviation plot of A vs.£, This

plot was based on mean values of A and £ from the cali­

bration data of Table V. In this table the£s values

were calculated from resistance thermometer temperatures

(t,°C) by Equation (2) above. The temperature scale

differed from the final scale owing to: (l) a calcula­

tion error of about +0.10°C for one value at 8°C; and

(2) the use of values of a and different from the o final ones and affecting the scale systematically by

0.01°G or less.

Approximate temperatures (T0) were calculated from values of £s by linear Interpolation in Table IV. Once

calculated, the approximate temperatures were corrected to the temperature scale of the absolute measurements by the relation:

(9) T = T0 + AT * where A T was read from a plot of AT vs« T0 . This plot was prepared from the mean values of T0 and AT shown in

Table VI, and included corrections for the calculation error and the use of old values of a and R0 mentioned above. As expected, the corrections were largest for

Two deviation plots of & vs.6 were used in the re­ duction of 6 to 6s: one for the range from 0°C to

Values of t were calculated from 6s by linear inter­ polation in Sanderson's table. T was then calculated from Equation (7) above.

This procedure was used to obtain T values for all

£ T l vs. T*jj these data and the mean values used for the plot were tabulated iTable IX). They were based on the same temperature scale as that for absolute manometry.

Experimental values of £ ’, obtained by interpolation with respect to time from the spectrophotometric runs, were reduced to values of T£ by linear interpolation in Table VIII. Final values of T* were obtained from

T£ and the relations

T* - T»0 + AT*, where &T* was read from the deviation plot.

This procedure was employed for all the values of

T* in the spectrophotometric work.

Because the manometrio readings were taken for one downward and one upward traverse of the cathetometer, each reading discussed below was the mean of the two readings obtained during the traverses. The reduction ( 26 ) scheme was based on that of Beattie et al. '

reference cell. A Q is the measured absorbance of the

sample cell, relative to the same reference cell, with

the vapor frozen out in the sidearm of the sample cell

by cooling the sidearm with liquid nitrogen.

X is the wave length in millimicrons (mmu) of the radiant

energy passing through the sample or reference cell from

the monochromator.

A]_ and A 0 were calculated for the same value of T', X ,

and s the slit width reading on the spectrophotometer.

For reduction of the vapor pressure data an opti­

cally measurable variable was defined which is proportional

to the pressure of an ideal gas. This variable is

(27) 7t = AT* = (A1-A0)T«

T* , A]:, A 0 and 7T were tabulated as a function of T for

a constant wave length of 279.80 mmu.

Experimental values of A-^ for the 1 mm, 5 mm and

50 mm cells were used directly and the corresponding

values of T and T* obtained by interpolation as indi­

cated in the section "Temperature11 above.

Graphical plots of A c vs. T* were made for the 1 mm,

5 mm, and 50 mm cells from direct experimental values of

A.0 and interpolated values of T*. For each value of A^

at T, T', the corresponding value of A 0 at the same value

of T* was read from the plot for the same cell as A^. For the 1 mm cell, experimental and plotted values

of A Q and T* are given in Table XIV. Values of JT , cal­

culated by Equation (27) and using A Q values read from

the plot, were tabulated as a function of T (Table XV).

A 0 vs. T1 plots for the 5 mm cell were prepared from the experimental data given in Table XVI. These plots were used with equation (27) to calculate the values shown as a function of T in Table XVII.

The experimental data for the 50 mm cell included those for both vaporization and sublimation equilibria, in Connection with the thermodynamic treatment of these data, a mean value of A Q was calculated which was con­

sistent with them and with a calorimetric value for the heat of fusion. The relation used was Equation (80), derived in the section on "Thermodynamic Functions".

The calculation is given in some detail in Table

XVIII. After rejection of 7 of the data on account of a secular trend, the mean value A 0 = 0.0l6l±0.00030 was obtained. It was used to reduce all experimental Aj_ values for the 50 mm cell:

(2 8 ) T«(AX - 0 .0 1 6 1 ) =yr.

The values of jt given in Table XIX as a function of T were calculated from this equation.

Values of A0 determined experimentally as a function of T* are given in Table XX. Sublimation data calculated from these experimental A G values showed curvature on a —60—

# A is the absorbance of the empty 50 mm sample cell, relative to the 50 mm reference cell* - 7 5 - plot of log Tf vs. l/T as well as a temperature trend which was not consistent with the vaporization data and an in­ dependent calorimetric value for the heat of fusion*

The calculated value of A Q = 0.0161 was finally

used since in addition to being consistent with the ealori-

metric heat of fusion, it removed the low-temperature

curvature from the log 7T vs, l/T plot for the sublima­

tion data without appreciably changing the temperature

trend previously established for the vaporization data.

During the runs at variable wave length and slit

width for the absorption spectrum of the vapor in the

1 mm cell, both T* and T were held approximately con­

stant. For this reason, the values of T* and T corres­

ponding to direct experimental values of A-j_ and A 0

were obtained by linear interpolation of the temperature

(not the thermocouple EMF) with respect to time.

Observed wave length readings X. from the spectro-

photometer were corrected to the true wave lengths X by

the relation

(29) X= X e + ax.

A X was read from a deviation plot of A X VS. X £• The

calibration data of Table XXI were used for this plot.

Wave length values for the Hg lamp used in the calibration

were taken from Brode,^^

Spectral band width values were calculated from true wave length values and slit width readings by means of a nomograph.'(33) '

(33) H. M. Haendler, Journal of the Optical Society of America, 4.17-4-19 (1948).

Values of A 0 (T’) were calculated from the relation

(30) A 0 (T«) = A 0 (T") + (dAo/dT,)(T' - T")

= A 0 (T") - 3.97x 10“5(t « - Tw).

TH was the cell temperature at which A Q was measured and T* the temperature at which the corresponding value of A^ was measured. The value of the derivative was obtained from the A Q vs. T* plot for the 1 mm cell at a wave length of 279.80 mmu and a slit width of 0.250 mm.

It was assumed to be independent of wave length and slit width, a reasonable approximation since (T* - Tn) was always less than 10°K and the correction on A Q therefore correspondingly small.

Values of A^ and k 0 and of the slit width and spectral bandwidth were tabulated as functions of wave length

Theory.

The relevant equilibria are:

(31) TiGl^(l) - TiCl^g);

(32) TiCl4 (s) = TiCl4 (l)j

(33) TiCl4 (s) = TiCl^g).

The vaporization process was investigated by absolute

and by spectrophotometric methods, and the sublimation

process by the spectrophotometric method. Ho experi­

mental investigation was made of the fusion equilibrium.

The molal Gibbs free energy F is the same for all

phases at equilibrium; for each phase

(34) » Vdp - SdT

where V and S are the molal volume and molal entropy,

respectively. For the liquid and vapor phase,

(35) do .S* - S1 dT " VS - Vi

Two approximations are now made: is neglected relative to VS; and the vapor is considered ideal so

that (36) VS = RT/p.

The first approximation makes the denominator in (35) too large by about 112 cm^/22400 crn-^ or 5/1000. The second approximation can be estimated to make the de- nominator too large by at most 4/10 in the pressure and temperature range of this investigation, with its effect decreasing rapidly as the temperature is lowered. Since the vaporization process is reversible and isobaric,

Here, AH° is the heat of vaporization when the vapor and the liquid are in .their respective standard states:; ideal gas at a pressure of 1 atm and theequilibrium temperature Tj and liquid at a pressure of 1 atm and the equilibrium temperature T. Then for the vapor pressure of the liquid:

The comparison of the spectrophotometric results with vapor pressures calculated from the absolute mano- metric measurements not only established a numerical value for the molar absorbancy index aji for the vapor, but also provided an independent check on the extrapolation -91-

of the absolute results from room temperature to lower

temperatures. This comparison was effected as follows.

The vapor was treated as a homogeneous, ideal gas,

confined at a concentration c and temperature T1 between

plane, parallel windows defining an optical path of

effective length b. Then

(74) A . abc , = (Ax - Alr) -(A0 - Aor)

pending on the units used for b and c, or b, R, and p. (35)

A,, and A are the absorbances of the filled and i. o empty sample cell respectively, measured relative to the

reference cell. In the operation of the Beckman spectro­

photometer used in this investigation, balancing the instrument for 100$ transmission with reference cell in

the beam had the effect of setting k^r and AQr equal to

zero each time that a measurement was made, but regard­

less of their numerical value, they were assumed to be equal since the optical properties of the reference cell

were assumed to remain the same at all times.

Since (AT1) is proportional to the pressure, it was defined as (75) 7Ts at* = (aMb/R) p « (AL - A0)T«j with p in mm Hg, b in cm, and R = 62363.1 cm^mm Hg/mol°K, ajj is given in cm^/mol.

(J » 1, 2, 3) where the index j is equal tq 1 for the 1 mm cell, 2 for the 5 mm cell, and 3 for the 50 mm cell. The difference between the nominal value bj and the effective value bj for the optical path of the j/th cell is called Pj:

(77) bj = b.j * Pj

Values of 7?vs, T for the 1 mm and 5 mm cells were calculated using experimental value of A0 as shown in the section on reduction of observations. The value of

A 6 used for the 50 mm cell data was calculated as follows

Calculation of A Q for the 50 mm Cell,

Using the subscripts "I” and "s" for vaporization data and sublimation data respectively, the values of

The ratio P^/p s Is calculated from Equations (59) and

(70) for the vapor pressure of the liquid and of the -93- solid and is therefore consistent with the value 2330 cal/mol for the heat of fusion. Table XVIII gives the value of A0 calculated for each of the 37 sublimation data. The values of A^ appearing in the fourth column of this table were selected at random over the whole tem­ perature range for normal and metastable liquid in order to give approximately the same fractional variation in

Aj for both sets of data. As indicated by the asterisks,

7 of the sublimation data were rejected because of secular trend and therefore did not contribute to the calculated mean value of 0.0161 for A 0. This trend is believed to be due to sticking of the cell-holder slide of the spectrophotometer during the last three runs with the 50 mm cell, which caused partial cutoff of the beam by the edge of the oven in which the optical cells were positioned and abnormally large instrument readings for A^.

The Cell Constants Kj.

Numerical values of the were obtained by least squares analysis of the 7f, T data (Tables XV, XVII,

XIX) as follows:

(81) xi3 = - m Pi(Ti) where is the value of the cell constant for the i/th datum and j/th cell, and In p^(T^) is the calculated value of In p for the datum at T^ from Equation (59) or (70). The deviation of from the least-squares -94- value K.j is

(82) v±J = - K^. O Minimizing ^v * with respect to and solving for K ^,

(83) K = I K ij ni where nj is the number of data in the set for the i/th. cell. The statistical weight Wj, the precision € ! of a measurement of weight unity, and the precision index €■ are given by:

(34) Wj = n^j e] =Zv2/Ur l); €? = €'d/nr

In order to base the final values of Kj on data having essentially Gaussian distribution, data were rejected from the original set to leave successively smaller sets.

When a smallest set was found for which the number of rejectable data agreed reasonably well with that calcu­ lated for Gaussian distribution, K. was calculated from v the data left in this set. For n data, (0.0455 n) is the number rejectable from the set, assuming Gaussian distribution and / v ^ / > 2 € ’ as a basis for the rejection of a datum*^ 4 )

the 50 mm cell is due to the secular trend in the last

11 data (9 sublimation and 2 vaporization) obtained with

this cell* The precision of the final Kj values is high:

K2 = 4.19491; €2 = 0.00036; n2 = 113;

K3 = 6.49576; €3 = 0.00034; n3 = 134.

The precision indices were calculated from the deviations

in Tables XV, XVII, XIX and Equation (84).

The Molar Absorbancy Index aM .

In the calculation of ajy[ for the vapor, once the Kj are known one can use the nominal b* values given on the J sample cells and obtain a value of ajj for each cell corresponding to that particular cell. In principle, however, a$j should be the same for all cells, and if the

Kj are known with sufficiently high precision, the limit­ ing factor influencing the precision of aM will be the precision with which the nominal cell depths are known.

A single value of aM, independent of j, was therefore calculated in term3 of pj.

For any two cells, from Equation (76)

(86) ^ - Kj = In (bj/bj) a In u±J., i^j. then

physically reasonable values for all (3^. Then the

effective cell depths b.. can be calculated and In aM

determined from Equation (76).

This was done with the following numerical results

for b* = 0.1001 cm, b l5 = 0.5001 cm, and b* * 5.003 cm. . v (90) p± = b« exp (Kx-K2) - b£ + p2 exp(K^-K^)

P3 = (0.5001)(9.98271) - (5.003) + 9.98271 p2.

From a plot of p]_ and p3 vs. p2, the value p2 = 0.00050

cm gave physically reasonable values for (3-j_ and p^:

(91) p1 = -0.00126 cm

P2 = 0.00050 cm

The corresponding values for bj are:

From Equation (76) for j = 2

corresponding value of -0.00126 cm for Pj_ is about 2.5X

as large as the stated tolerance limit, but this and

the fractional error of 12/1000 of the nominal length might well be expected considering the small path length

and highly re-entrant construction of the cell. The

50 mm cell was made by a different manufacturerj since its tolerance limits are not stated and since the value

-0.00566 cm for represents a difference of about

1/1000 of the nominal length, this value also appears reasonable.

numerical values of Sjj throughout the wave length range 200 to 980 mmu were calculated in terms of ajj **

gas, the value R = 1.987 cal/mol°K was used since it appeared that this value had been used by Hawkins and

Carpenter in preparing their table. The results of this calculation appear in Table XXVII.

The values of (H° - Hg) shown in Table XXVIII for solid

and liquid agree with those in Skinner’s table only at

200°K because of the linear approximation (Equation (42))

for the molal heat capacity and the use of a value of

2330 cal/mol for the heat of fusion instead of the value

2233 cal/mol used by Skinner. Neither do the values for

solid and liquid in Table XXVIII agree exactly with those

in the final Table (Table XXIX), b ecause the final

The differences are small, well within the limits of experimental error. This method of "calculating down­ ward” from the values for the gas was used in order to ensure consistency between the tabular values from

200°K to 320°K and the vapor pressure results of this investigation.

free energy function for the solid and liquid showed

inflection above 320°K, they were smoothed graphically between 320°K and 4-09.66°K in order to obtain the tabu­ lar values given in Table XXIX. The smoothing operation is equivalent to the use of the following relations::

consistent with the smoothed values of (H° - H°)^j and those calculated by numerical differentiation of (H° -

H§j^ show a broad, flat minimum from 330°K to 380°K which appears to be at least U cal/mol°K too low. It

seems improbable that the calculated values give an adequate indication of the heat capacity behavior of the liquid in this temperature range:-, therefore they are not tabulated for temperatures above 320°K.

E . Estimation of Errors.

U s a .

During the course of the experimental measurements the time ('I') was recorded to the nearest second. Since some delay would be expected to occur in the recording process, the error in the time is estimated to be

(130) 6^ = 2 sec.

Temperature.

The error in the temperatures measured during the absolute manometric experiments is taken as the minimum error in the temperature scale of this investigation.

From the relations

(131) T - t + 273.16j t * t(R,K0)j R = R(?r ) -120-

the mean square error in the absolute temperature € ^ is

(132) e\ =£2 = (3t/0R)2£ 2 + (9t/9R0)2€^ o

where € is the mean square error in the Centigrade t temperature of the resistance thermometer and €-.6,, K R q are the mean square errors in the resistance at tempera­

ture t°C, 0°C respectively. Because of the temperature

drift of the bath with time, mm£\ — A (133) ® 1.69x10“ ohms/sec x 2 sec = 3.38x10“ ohms. it From the constants of the thermometer,

(134) Ot/SR) s -Ot/9R0) * 250/25.56 = 9.78°C/ohm.

The error in R 0 is between 0.3x10“^ and 8.5x10"^ ohms,

the upper bound being the average deviation obtained

from measurements of R Q over a period of about 1 year,

and the lower bound from the final determination of the

' value of R 0 used in all calculations. Then€y can be

calculated to be between 2.95x10“^ and 8.3xl0~^°K. As

a final estimate, which allows for the occurrence of

small temperature gradients between the surface of the

- resistance thermometer and the liquid titanium tetra­

chloride in the sample bulb,

(1 35) e T = 0.01°K.

The average drift rate of the bath during the absolute

manometric measurements was 1.65xlO“’5oQy/gQC or 9,92xl0”^°c/

min.

During calibration of the copper-constantan thermo­

couple, the bath drifted in temperature, the average -121- drift rate being 6.42xlO“3°c/min for the thermocouple and 4»’76xlO~3°C/min for the platinum resistance ther­ mometer. During spectrophotometric runs the mean drift rate was 0.0l8°C/min for the thermocouple. The minimum error in reading EMF values from the K-2 potentiometer was 0.1 muV, both during the calibration experiments and the runs. Considering this and the error of 0.01°K above in the fundamental temperature scale of this investigation, the error € ^ is estimated as (136) € T = 0.015°K for the temperature T of the solid or liquid measured during the spectrophotometric experiments. From the calibration data for the copper-constantan thermocouple

(Tables V, VI, VII) the relative error within the scale for the thermocouple is estimated as 0.2 muV or 0.004.°C,

The minimum error in T* the cell temperature is estimated as 0.106°K on the basis of similar considera­ tions of the 0.01°K error in the resistance thermometer temperatures, the reading error of 0.1 muV for the EMF of the chromel-alumel thermocouple, and the error arising from drift of the optical cell temperature during cali­ bration and during the runs. From the calibration data

(Table IX) the minimum relative error for the chromel- alumel thermocouple is 0.006°K, but the actual error arising from the use of the calibration plot is somewhat larger since the data in the region 330,6°K to 332.6°K -122- were represented by a single point on the plot. In

order to make allowance for this, the error in T' is estimated to be

(137) €t, = 0.02°K.

(142) € - 0.04 mm, o The error in p* is determined by the reading error for the scale of the cathetometer, on which distances can be read to the nearest 0.05 mm and estimated to the nearest 0.01 mm. The error in pQ* is the mean square error in the zero-point determination, calculated for

27 data. The error £_ occurs because of the use of the e spoon gauge as a null-indicating instrument to balance the pressure of the titanium tetrachloride vapor against the pressure in the reference system and manometer.

Since a 40X ^microscope was used to view the movable -123-

and reference pointers of the gauge, and since the tip

of the movable pointer was about 0.03 mm wide, the

minimum detectable deflection of the pointer is esti­

mated to be 0.01 mm. From this and the experimentally

determined gauge sensitivity 4 mm Hg/mm deflection, 6^

is estimated to be 0.04 mm Hg. From Equations (139) to

(142 ), the error in the experimentally measured pressures

is estimated to be

(143) € p = 0.041 mm Hg

and is determined mostly by the error of the spoon gauge.

Since the pressures are between 10 and 32 mm Hg, the

fractional error is between 1*3/1000 and 4/1000.

the mean square error in 6 ^ , is

For the measurements at 279.8 mmu. the error in A is o estimated as

(146) € Aq = 5xlo“‘S T* € = 300x5x10"^ = 0.15.

This is based in the €A values from Tables XIV, XVI, ans XX, and on the value £. = 3x10”^ in the calculated "O A 0 for the 50 mm cell. Errors in A^ were estimated from the relation

(1*7) S A1 - . 8.6^x10“^(10^1) -124- where t is the transmittance of the sample cell relative -3 to the reference cell and E^ = 2x10 is the estimated error in reading the transmittance scale of the spectro­ photometer. Then for the 1 mm, 5 mm, and 50 mm cells, from Equations (145), (146) and (147),

These estimates are based on 0,02°K as the estimated error in T1 the cell temperature.

In the measurements from 200 mmu to 980 mmu on the

1 mm cell, A Q varied between 0.014 at 330 mmu and 0.033 at 200 mmu. The error Is estimated as

The error in the wave length is estimated as 0.1 mmu.

For the range from 409.66°K to 320°K , where the

tabular values for the free energy function correspond to vapor pressure results of Schaefer and Zeppernick

(Equation (120)), the errors in In p and in T are esti­ mated as

Estimates of

= 1.1 cal/mol°K appear reasonable since this the largest discrepancy to be expected between values of ^H° and &S° calculated from tables XXVTI and XXIX, and calculated directly from the vapor pressure (Equation (120)). The values of the thermal functions for the liquid are consistent among themselves. The tabular values of the free energy function for liquid and gas, together with A1*0 = 14-108*3

cal/mol are consistent with Equation (120) for the vapor pressures,! since they were calculated from it.

In the range from 320°K to 24-9»045°K the tabular values of the thermal functions for the liquid are con­

sistent within themselves and with the vapor pressure results of this investigation. The mean square errors in the heat capacity constants are estimated as

(156) = 0.517 cal/mol°Kj = 0.0016 cal/mol(°K)2 assuming that has an error of 2% and a value of

36.5 cal/mol°K at 320°K. The errors in the heat capa­ city terms determine the upper bounds for the errors in other thermal functions; in the case of A**0 and A S 0,

(157) 20*3 * € ^ 0 *167; 0.065^€^s o $3.24-.

Here the lower bounds are determined by the mean square errors in A H 0 and I, respectively. In view of the good agreement (Table XXXI) between the entropy of the solid at 200°K from this investigation and that calculated by

Skinner from Latimer’s heat capacity data, it seems probable that the upper bound is much too large and that the actual error is close to the lower bound. Therefore the estimates which follow are for the minimum error.

At 279.8 mmu, the error in ln aM is 0.0074 rather than 0.00064 because the precision of the data for the absorption spectrum corresponds to that of a measurement of unit weight rather than of weight n = 310. The errors for the minimum at 258.5 mmu and the second maximum at 231.7 mmu are 0.014 and 0.010 respectively. IV. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS

A. Vapor Pressures.

The vapor pressure of TiCl has been investigated 4 in the temperature range from 320°K to 237°K for the normal and metastable liquid and 249.045°K to 222°K for the solid. Vapor pressure equations have been ob­ tained which reproduce the experimental data with an overall precision of 4*3 parts/1000.

These vapor pressure results are in good agreement (o) with those of Schaefer and Zeppernick in the range

(3) Schaefer and Zeppernick, o p . cit. from 312°K to 320°Kj letting ps and Tg represent the experimental vapor pressures and temperatures of

Schaefer and Zeppernick, and In p the natural logarithm of the vapor pressure at Tg as calculated from Equation

(59) of the section "Analysis of Data", the deviation is

(172) v± = ln pgi - ln p± .

Prom Table XXXII, for n = 14 data, the precision of agreement is 2.39 parts/1000.

B , Heats and Entropies of Vaporization.

At 320°K, the heats and entropies of vaporization are

(173) = 9351 cal/mol} = 22.95 cal/mol°K for this investigation, and

(174-) " 9677 cal/molj AS° = 23.96 cal/mol°K from the constants in the vapor pressure equation of

Schaefer and Zeppernick (Equation (120), Analysis of

Data)} their heat and entropy of vaporization are higher by 326 cal/mol and 1.01 cal/mol°K, respectively.

Considering that their expression was intended to apply up to the boiling point at 4-09.66°K, and that their value for AH0 is essentially an average over the range from

312°K to 356°K, the agreement is about as good as could be expected.

The temperature trend of the absolute measurements of this investigation is confirmed by the spectrophoto­ metric results: consistent values of the molar absorljancy index for all three optical cells could not be obtained if the calculated vapor pressures (Equations (59) and

(70), Analysis of Data) were not correct.

The results of a check on the entropy and other ther­ mal functions are shown in Table XXXI. Values in the -134- column “This Work"were calculated along the path; solid at

0°K, ideal gas at 0°K, ideal gas at 29S.l6°K, liquid at

298.16°K, liquid at 2 4 9 . 0 4 5 % solid at 2 4 9 . 0 4 5 % solid at 200°K. Values in the coluran“Skinner“ were calculated along the path; solid at 0°K, solid at 200°K. The entropy discrepancy at 200°K is 0.41 cal/mol°K, the cycle failing to close by this amount. This represents a considerable im- (6) provement over the situation described by Skinner an (6) Skinner, op. cit. which the discrepancy between the calorimetric and spectro­ scopic entropy for the gas at 29S.16°K was 2.53 cal/mol°K.

The improvement is mostly due to the use of a higher value for the entropy of fusion (9.36 cal/mol°K, NBS, vs. 9.01 cal/mol°K) and an entropy of vaporization at

298.16°K (23.931 cal/mol°K) which is calculated from the vapor pressure results of this investigation.

The 0.41 cal/mol°K discrepancy in the entropy of the solid at 2 00°K may be due to a transition below 87°K (the lowest experimental temperature), bit it seems more probable that it arises from the particular procedure employed in fitting the heat capacity curve to the data. Considering this and the precision with which the vapor pressure values and the spectroscopic values for the gas are now known, it seems very desirable to have the heat capacities redeter­ mined in the range from 20°K to 300°K and then extended as near as possible to the normal boiling point at 409.66°K. -135-

C. Molar Absorbancy Index a^.

The results of this investigation agree with those (15) of Mason and Vango . on the location of the maximum in

(15) Mason and Vango, op. cit. a^ at 280,9 mmu, but not on the minimum at 258.3 mmu

(Table XXIV and Figure 4); they obtain a corresponding minimum at about 260.2 mmu. Their value for the long- wave-length limit of absorption is 360 mmu vs. 328.9 mmu from this investigation; this difference is not surprising since the wave length of the absorption limit is sensitive to small errors in the measurement of absorbance, and they give no indication of the procedure which they used in de­ termining the absorbance of their empty sample cell.

For all wave lengths from 24-0 mmu to 320 mmu, their values of log ajj are lower than those obtained in this investigation and there does not seem to be any systematic trend with wave length. They used the vapor pressure equation of Arii in calculating the pressure of the

(l) Arii, o p . c i t .

TiCl^ vapor in the sample cell of their spectrophotometer: since pressures calculated from his equation are too high, one would expect the resulting values of log ajj to be consistently lower than those from this investigation. BIBLIOGRAPHY
