The elevation in boiling point ( A T ) for a given value of relative vapor pressure can be obtained from the Clausius-Clapeyron equation provided A T is small so that the heat of vaporization ( A H ) can be taken as constant. However, for a large range of A T , AH is no longer constant. From the variations of AH with temperature in the case of water, the following relationship can be deduced

relationships. This shows that the boiling point elevation of the sorbed water, just like its freezing point depression, depends largely on the radius of the capillary pores in which it is condensed. The theoretical values are also included in Table I. The agreement between the determined and the calculated values is seen to be quite close up to the capillary pores of radius 17.5 8. in the case of all the adsorbents and except for sugar charcoal it is not so b%d even in the case of the nest lower size, viz., 11.3 A. The validity of the agreement decreases as we approach finer capillary sizes. This shows that the Kelvin equation is probably not applicable in the case of capillaries a few molecular diameters in width.2 The probable reasons for this have been already discussed.' However, the fact that the results follow the Kelvin equation for an appreciable range of vapor pressure shows that probably beyond a monolayer all liquid held up in a porous body is largely due to capillary condensation.

ON THE THERMODYNAMICS OF THE INTERACTION BETWEEN THE SOLUTES IN DILUTE TERNARY SOLUTIONS1 BY HAROLD L. FRIEDMAN Contribution from the Department of Chemistry, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, Cal. Received August 8 , 1964

In widely different ternary solutions it is found that the chemical potential, P I , of one solute depends lincarly upon tho molality, me, of the other if ml and m2 are small. The limiting value of ( & ~ l / b r nas~ ml ) ~ and ~ m2 approach zero equals (dp2/dml),z in the same limit and is the simplest solute I-solute 2 interaction coefficient in such a system. This coefficient may be determined by measurements of the solubility of either of the pure solutes in the ternary solution, plus certain othcr ineasurements on the appropriate binary solution, although not without an extra-thermodynamic assumption.

McKay* has recently shown that many useful thermodynamic relations in ternary and higher order systems may be obtained by the application of the cross-differentiation relations. I n this paper McKay's results are applied to ternary systems which obey a particular activity coefficient law, which applies to such widely different ternary systems as sodium chloride-benzene-water at 25' and carbon-sulfur-iron a t 1500". The relations between various versions of this law are derived, and (1) This research was supported by the U. S. Atomic Energy Coininission. (2) H. A. C. hlcKsy, Trans. Faraday Soc., 49, 237 (1953).

the procedure for the investigation of solute-solute interaction in these systems by solubility memurements is discussed. Preliminaries.-The application of the crossdifferentiation theorem is simplest if concentrations are expressed in mole ratios or molalities. ml and m2will represent solute molalities in a ternary phase and p 1 and pz the chemiml potentia,ls3of the solutes. y1 and y2 are activit,y coe%.cient,sdefined relative to hypothetica.1 1 molal standard states of the respective solutes in the pure solvent. v l and v 2 are the (81

and therefore The usual relations between the partial derivatives of several variables, two of which are independent, are also required. I n the dilute ternary solutions discussed here, the solutes will be designated as components 1 and 2, and are both supposed to be at concentrations of the order of one molal or less. The Limiting Interaction Coefficient.-The salting out of a non-electrolyte (component 1) from aqueous solution by the addition of an electrolyte (component 2) is usually found to be accurately described by the Setschenow equation4 (4)

where mls and mfls are the solubilities of the nonelectrolyte in the pure solvent and in solution containing electrolyte a t molality m2.6 Similar solubility relations are shown by many ternary systems of importance in m e t a l l ~ r g y , ~although J in these cases the subscripts of eq. 4 merely designate the respective components, without necessarily implying electrolytic behavior for either. It seems then, that eq. 4 expresses a law which is valid for a variety of ternary systems. I n order to express this law in a more general form, it is convenient t o first rephrase eq. 4. We define a solubility interaction coeficient kl

This coefficient corresponds t o the constant of eq. 4 if pl is the chemical potential of pure phase 1, for then ml = mls’. However, the coefficient may be evaluated a t any other p~1value which it is experimentally feasible to hold constant. The conditions for ICl and the constant of eq. 4 to be exactly the same are discussed in a later section. It is apparent that in any dilute ternary system there is a second solubility interaction coefficient k z = - ( b In mz/dml)p,

I n some cases both constants can be evaluated experimentally, and then the relation between them is of interest, as discussed below. By change of variables, eq. 5 becomes or

Thus to the extent that eq. 4 is valid and ml(blnyl/ ?mi),, is small (or independent of m2), p1 depends linearly upon m2, or

(5) I n this discussion of solubility,. and those which follow in this paper, it is assumed that the solubility of a solid or a liquid is being measured. If one of the solutes of the ternary solution is a gas when pure, then its solubility at constant partial pressure (constant p) can be obtained and handled b y the equations employed here. However, a more powerful way to proceed would be to measure the solubility of the gas (component 1) over a range of partial pressures as well as a range of mp, to allow the direct calculation from the data of the derivative of (8) or (10).

This sort of interaction, with ml fixed either a t ml,, the solubility of 1 in pure solvent, or a t another constant value, has been observed in the dilute region in several ternary liquid metallic solutions at high temperatures8 as well as in ternary amalgams (e.g., Na-K-Hg) at room temperature.9 It can be deduced from the equations proposed to describe the behavior of ternary mixtures of liquid organic compounds1° and ternary regular solutions” that eq. 8 applies to the dilute regions of these systems too. Therefore 4 and 8 are alternative expressions for a limiting law which is applicable t o a wide range of ternary systems. A third expression for this law is given byeq. 94912,13 In

Here I is the ionic strength. If component 2 is not an electrolyte, this solution will obey the general law, but if component 2 is also an electrolyte, then I is a function of m2 as well as ml, and eq. 13 is no longer consistent with (S), even in the limit of low ml and m2. Ternary solutions in which both solutes are electrolytes exhibit a more restricted sort of regular behavior.I4 An appropriate generalization would seem to be that the law of eq. 8 is valid if components 1 and 2 are solutes a t low concentration in a multicompo(8)J.

THE SOLUBILITY OF BONE MINERAL. I. SOLUBILITY STUDIES OF SYNTHETIC HYDROXYLAPATITE1 BY GEORGE J. LEVINSKAS~ AND W . F . NEUMAN School of Medicine and Dentistry, University of Rochester, Rochester, N . Y . Received August 6 , 1064

By means of high speed centrifugation, which achieves an efficient separation of the basic calcium phosphates from aqueous solutions, the problem of the solubility of the bone mineral has been reinvestigated using a relatively pure sample of crystalline hydroxylapatite. The steady state was approached sat,isfactorily from undersaturation and supersaturation. A number of variables: time, solidjsolution ratio, pH, Ca/P ratio, etc., were studied. The solubility (in watcr containing traces of chloroform) of hydroxylapatite at 1 g./l., 24", p = 0.165 (NaCl), pH M for Ca and 7.0 averaged 1.23 and 0.711 X P, respectively. This crystalline solid exhibited incongruent solubility, Le., the solutions gave a higher Ca/P ratio than that present in the solid phase in most instances.

Numerous conflicting studies of the solubility of bone mineral have been reported.a-z2 Not one of these studies has offered conclusive evidence that the system under study was a t equilibrium or even reversible. By means of high speed centrifugation, which achieves an efficient separation of the basic calcium phosphates from aqueous solutions, the problem has been reinvestigated. Evidence is presented that the system, under the conditions of the present study, is reproducible and reversible. If not a t final equilibrium, the system a t least attains the same end-point whether approached from supersaturation or undersaturation.
