IVhile if zrT be regarded as

representing a total pressure, made up of the external pressure, and an internal pressure, it may be extended from A so as t o pass into a region of negative pressure and this negatire pressure may pro;,e to represent the pressure arising jrow the molecular attractiot?. One knows certainly after a most elementary acquaintance with mechanical conceptions that the internal pressure arising from the molecular attraction does act in a direction opposite t o the usual pressure due t o the kinetic motion of the molecules, and can be regarded, in a sense a t least, as a negative pressure. dP

Extending dT T, therefore, from A in the negative direction it becomes represented in the diagram by the line AD.

dP

The area XBCD, therefore, represents dT T (V - ;I), which is from Equation 3 the total heat of vaporization. Since ABFE represents the external work done in pushing back the external pressure during the vaporization, the area EFCD will represent the internal heat of vaporization, denoted in Equation 4 by the term 31414A. Therefore, according to our method of representation the internal heat of vaporization will appear always as a pressure-volume area below the line of zero pressure. Similar diagrams are drawn for isopentane a t 140°, 160°, 180' 187' and a t the critical temperature 187.8".

It is important t o note that a t the critical temperature no area results because the factor V - Y becomes zero, the facdP

tor dTT still retaining a significant value.

I have here introduced and discussed the thermodynamical Equation 6 to show t h a t it suggests very naturally the idea that the internal heat of vaporization should be represented as an area lying wholly below the line of zero pressure in an isothermal plane. If this idea is correct it should lead to conclusions not hitherto recognized. S o further conclusions of value are a t once apparent from Figure I and this probably accounts for the failure of other investigators to study the facts from the point of view here adopted. Moreover the method of representation adopted would lead one to suppose t h a t the negatize iizternal pressure remained a consta9it during a cha.r?ge iiz ttolume. This certainly cannot be true. The true situation can be stated as follows: The 7iegati;e pressiircs j o u n d a l e the a;!erage iiiterual presstares during tlze g i x i z clzaiige iiz volume except at oiie point, tlze critical temperatirie. =It the critical temperature tlzerc is n o chalige iia c o l m z c aizd tlzc ' ' a x r a g e ' ' $zegatite pressure abotle f o u n d should represeiit tlze trice i7iteriial pressure at this ilolitme. This we find below to be the case when a correct value for the

(We have before

clearly provedl that Equation j a t and very near the critical temperature does not correctly represent the observed vaporpressure curve, and t h a t Equation 6 in this region will in dP

consequence give values for the dT much too low.

By di-

rectly smoothing the observations of vapor pressure and their dP

rate of change, a more nearly correct value of the dT a t the critical temperature, 379, is obtained. This value is also somewhat too low owing to the fact that the percentage errors of observation are multiplied more than 60 times in obtaining dP

the dT directly from the observations.) 1

The Equatiou oj’ X i l l s , X = ~ ’ ( ~ t ’ d 3VD). In work upon molecular attraction and closely related phenomena I have shown,’ I think conclusively, that the equation,

The truth of Equation 7 has been admitted finally by nearly all of those who have examined the work critically and who have published the results of their investigations, but a good many of these investigators have never been convinced t h a t Equation 7 is really caused by the law of molecular force given in Equation 8. The objections advanced t o Equation 8 for the law of force have been from time to time answered in the papers cited, and all of this work is now undergoing revision in order that it may be published in a convenient form for critical inspection. We will proceed next upon the assumption that the internal molecular pressure does arise from an attraction obeying the law given in Equation 8 and proceeding from the individual molecules. To determine the effect of this attraction per square centimeter of surface we note that the attraction of a molecule varies inxrersely as the square of the distance apart of the molecules. S o w the number of molecules in any square centimeter of surface also varies inversely as the square of their distance apart. Consequently the internal molecular pressure per square centimeter varies as the fourth power of the distance apart of the molecules, and as a matter of fact Jour. Phys.

To those readers who are not familiar with the conception of molecular attractive forces advanced in previous papers, I would explain t h a t the essciztial d.fue71.enc-e between my conception of the behavior of the attractive forces and the conception usually held, lies in the fact t h a t I consider a molecule to ha\-e a certain total power of attraction which remains a constant a t a given average distance apart of the molecules, independently of how t h a t attraction may be distributed t o the surrounding molecules and independently of the number of molecules. (1h a w never found any method of determining certainly how this total attraction is distributed, but it is quite possible, and in my opinion it is very likely, that its distribution in a sense follows Sewton’s law of gravitation.) Consequently in calculating the effect of the attraction upon the pressure per square centimeter I have only to take the attraction of one molecule a t the gil-en distance and multiply this attraction by the number of molecules in the square centimeter of surface. I n other words, the attraction of the molecules is a constant property of the molecule precisely as is its molecular weight ionl?- the attraction varies with the distance apart of the molecules). The above idea has been shown in the papers cited to be in accord with the facts and it is important t h a t it be clearly understood. I will illustrate, therefore, bl;a concrete example. Since the direction and distribution of the total attraction is mathematically a matter of no importance for most purposes, I can consider the total attraction of a molecule A to be exerted upon a molecule B a t distance s . If I then place beside B another similar molecule C the total attraction of A for B and C remains the same as it formerly was for B alone. According to the usual conception the attraction of -4 for B

and C, two similar molecules, a t distance s, is twice what it is for B alone a t distance s. According to m y conception, while the total attraction of A may be shared by both B and C it remains the same for B and C together a t distance s as it was for B alone a t distance s. The fact t h a t the total attraction is now divided between the two molecules B and C has not increased its amount in the least However, I am not here trying to prove that my conception of the attractive force is the correct one. The conception has in the past proved to be in accord with the facts considered and if I can here deduce from this conception new relations in accord with the facts its use will be sufficiently justified. That Equation I O is correctly deduced from the premises, and t h a t it is in accord with the fundamental law stated in Equation 7, will be clear upon considering t h a t

an expression which can be reduced to calories by dividing b y 31414 and is then in accord with the law given in Equation 7, and already proved in the numerous papers cited. It is really a source of much gratification to be able to deduce Equation 7 in this way, because Equation j was originally (after correction of an .earlier error) deduced’ from a consideration of the individual action of the attractive forces upon the individual molecules. And yet it is clear if Equation 7 really resulted from the law of molecular force given in Equation 8, and if the effect of this force upon the total Jour. Phys. Chem.,

Consequently the demonstration above given really completes a cycle of operations, and to arrive exactly a t the starting point is gratifying evidence that no errors were made in the individual operations and arguments. Moreover my idea as to the independence of the kinetic and attractive energies and of the connected external and internal pressures urider the coi?ditioiis studied were, to put it mildly, viewed with suspicion," by some investigators. Yet this same independence is here again in evidence. I have plotted in Fig. I , line GH, the internal pressures calculated by Equation I O against the volumes, the data being given in Table I.

I t should be constantly remembered that we really have t o deal with a tri-dimensional pressure, \volume, temperature, diagram, and that the curves ABCD, AIBICIDl, etc., shown on Fig. I are really on different temperature planes, and that Fig. I is really made by the projection of points and lines that exist on different temperature planes. The fact that no temperature function enters into Equation 1 2 , and the fact that it is true a t all temperatures studied, cause the projection of all of the points and curves considered to fall into one line GH. However much we may be inclined to an opinion on the subject, we have as yet no experimental evidence to show that limits on the curve G H can be taken arbitrarily a t any temperature. Before leaving Equation 1 2 it is important to note that its definite integral can be obtained as follows on the supposition that it is true for all values of V.

Dieterici found an empirical equation for the internal heat of vaporization, d T d log - calories = I j . X = CRTIn - = 4.573 C D nz D CRTlnV - CRTlnu. This equation has been carefully studied1 by the author, by Dieterici himself, by Steinhaus, and by others. It is a remarkably accurate equation with a tendency to give slightly too high results a t very low vapor pressures. The constant varies slightly for various substances but is usually around 1.7. For isopentane C has the value 1.688. The values of x calculated from Equation 15 are given in Table I for comparison with the values of X obtained from Equations I and 6 (see under the heading X-Ther., Mills, Dieterici).

The indefinite integration gives the area bounded by the ordinates 'L' = I and it = i', plus a constant.

As a matter of fact p’ for isopentane is 10j.46. This discrepancy indicates nothing except that either Equation 7 , or Equation I j > or both, break down if extrapolated to points outside of the saturated vapor-liquid equilibrium for which they were proven. That this view of the question is correct follows from a consideration of stannic chloride.

The peculiar form of the curve M N O for isopentane shown on Figure I should be noted, particularly in connection with the fact that Dieterici’s Equation 15 gives too high results a t low temperatures, and with the fact just shown that Equation 2 1 cannot be extrapolated for isopentane to volume

As yet too little is known regarding this region of negative internal pressure that I am attempting to explore t o indulge in speculation regarding the meaning of the relations found. But it must not be supposed that we are here studying merely mathematical relationships. The equations here under investigation have been extensively studied for many substances (see papers cited), and they certainly do closely represent physical relationships. Any study which will throw additional light upon these relationships is well worth while. The Equation oj Ramsay a.ild You?zg, P = bT-a. Sir Wm. Ramsay and Dr. Young so long ago as 1887 called attention to the fact that van der Waals’ equation, 2 10,.

A t still larger volumes they appear t o be constant. Values of a obtained by interpolation from Young's results are shown in Table I1 for the corresponding volumes. The values found for a for isopentane by Young are plotted on Fig. I forming the line R-I'. (Young obtained the values of a by two methods. I use his values from drawn isochors throughout.) It will be noted that this line intersects the other lines, AjC,,, GH, hlNO, a t the negative pressure corresponding to the critical volume. I have now obtained the value of the internal negative pressure a t the critical temperature by four methods getting 2.3.
