This article describes an apparatus and method for measuring vapor pressures in the range from 1 Pa to 10^5 Pa. Its three distinctive elements are: (1) the static pressure measurements were made with only a small temperature difference between the vapor
The static method for measuring vapor pressure assumes that the sample is pure and that its temperature is steady and uniform. In practice, the measured pressure may be time dependent due to evaporative cooling after pumping on the sample, transpiration of
Modeling of mineral reaction equilibria and aqueous-phase speciation of C-O-H fluids requires the dielectric constant of the fluid mixture, which is not known from experiment and is typically estimated by some rule for mixing pure-component values. In

We report progress in determining the Boltzmann constant k B using a virtual acoustic resonator derived by combining the measured frequencies of the longitudinal acoustic modes of two argon-filled, cylindrical, cavity resonators in such a way as to

New, wide range reference equations for the thermal conductivity of cyclopentane, iso-pentane and n-pentane are presented. The equations are based in part upon a body of experimental data that has been critically assessed for internal consistency and for

Reliable correlation and prediction of liquid densities are important for designing chemical processes at normal and elevated pressures. We have extended a corresponding states model from molecular theory to yield a robust method for quality testing of

This paper contains new, representative reference equations for the viscosity of toluene. The equations are based in part upon a body of experimental data that has been critically assessed for internal consistency and for agreement with theory whenever

In 2008, the International Association for the Properties of Water and Steam (IAPWS) adopted a standard formulation for the thermodynamic properties of seawater as a sum of contributions to the Gibbs free energy from pure water and from dissolved sea salt
We present experimental measurements of the density, speed of sound, and vapor pressure of trans-1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene, which is also known as R1233zd(E). Densities were measured over the temperature range from (215 to 444) K, with pressures from
The interpretation of results from chromatographic measurements can often be augmented with an appropriate mathematical treatment of the solute retention that is observed. The goal of treatment is to make the resulting metric as independent of the

With calibrations of large flow meters in mind, we established the feasibility of determining the mass M of argon gas contained within a 0.3 m 3 commercially manufactured pressure vessel ("tank") with a relative standard uncertainty of u r(M) = 0.0016 at 0
The speed of sound in liquid cyclopentane has been measured in the temperature range from (258 to 353) K at pressures up to 30 MPa (42 data points) using a pulse-echo method with a double path type sensor. The expanded overall uncertainty (k = 2) in the

A method denoted InChI ER has been developed to describe and identify elementary reactions in a standard computer-readable notation by extending the IUPAC International Chemical Identifier (InChI) formalism. Five additional hierarchical InChI ER layers
