STANDARD PARTIAL MOLAL COMPRESSIBILITIES BY ULTRASONICS. 11. SODIUM AND POTASSIUM CHLORIDES AND BROMIDES FROM 0 TO 30°1 BY BENTON B. OWENAND PAULL. KRONICK~ Contribution No. 1614from the Sterling Chemistry Laboratory, Yale University, New Haven, Conn. Received June 83, 1060

The velocity of sound in pure water and in dilute aqueoue solutions of sodium and potmsium chlorides and bromides is reported at 5' intervals from 0 to 30°, and at a frequency of 5 megcy./sec. The isothermal partial molal compressibilities of the salts at infinite dilution, are calculated, and found to increase (become more positive) with increasing temperature.

Introduction The first paper of this series3 contained a description of the movable-reflector acoustic interferometer and the experimental technique by which sound velocities were measured, and the results of these measurements on solutions of sodium and potassium chlorides were used to illustrate the evaluation of R20 for these salts a t 25'. The present paper reports the results of more extensive measurements on solutions of these salts, as well as sodium and potassium bromides, a t 5" intervals from 0 to 30". Experimental In the preparation of the sodium and potassium chlorides, Analyzed C.P. grade salts were used without further purification, but the bromides were recrystallized once from distilled water. The concentration of each solution used in a velocity measurement waa determined by withdrawing a portion from the interferometer and performing a differential potentiometric titration' against a 0.07 N solution of silver nitrate. This silver nitrate solution w m standardized periodically against a thoroughly dried sample of sodium chloride purified by the method of Meites.6 The operation of the interferometer and associated electronic equipment followed closely the procedure previously outlined,a and need not be described again. All velocity measurements were made at 5 megacycles ( f 5 cycles) per second. Temperature wrts controlled to f0.002" during (1) This communication contains material from a thesis presented by Paul L.

the course of the measurements, so that the variation of the velocitx of sound with concentration waa obtained "isothermally. The absolute value of the temperature was, however, not known to much better than 0.01" because a discordance of 0.004" developed between the calibrations of two of our three platinum resistance thermometers while the measurements were in progress. Since our apparatus was designed for precise mertsurement of changes in velocity rather than absolute magnitudes, the instrumental constant (a function of the angles formed by the screw and the guide rods) was evaluated from the known velocity of sound in pure water at 30". For this standard of reference, u~(30'), we used 1509.55 m./sec., the mean of 1509.44 reported by Greenspan and Tschiegp from the National Bureau of Standards, and 1509.66 reported by Wilsoneb from the United States Naval Ordnance Laboratory. The instrumental constant at lower temperatures was calculated from the value a t 30" and the coefficient of linear expansion of stainless steel (10-6 deg.-l).

Results of the Velocity Measurements For each salt a t a given temperature, the velocity of sound was determined in from seven to fourteen solutions whose composition ranged from 0 to 0.07 normal. The results of these measurements could be represented within the limits of their reproducibility ( f0.02 m./sec.) by the equation u = u~

Under the conditions of our measurements the last term in equation 1 contributes so little to u that the value of 23, cannot be determined precisely. Improvement in the evaluation of B, by using a greater number of solutions and higher concentrations was not attempted because equation 1 is theoretically justified only a t extreme dilution, and a statistically significant increase in the number of measurements per run could only be attained by seriously limiting the temperature range, or the number of salts investigated.

using values for the coefficient of thermal expansion?, specific heat* and densityg of pure water to be found in the literature. The isothermal compressibility, Po, of pure water, calculated from equations 4 and 5, is given in the last column of Table 11. We consider these values somewhat more reliable than those calculated from direct measurements of compressions resulting from large pressure increments.? Calculation of 4 ~ 0(= E20).-The calculation of ~ K O , and hence KZ0, by equation 2 requires knowledge of the two quantities t$v0 and As at all of the temperatures with which we are concerned. At 25" several sources of data7 are available for evaluating +vo for the four salts under study, but in order t o obtain 4v0 a t 5" intervals from 0 to 30" a very uncertain interpolation must be made between the values available a t 0, 25, 35, 45 and 50". Geffcken10 extrapolated the data a t these temperatures in 1931. Although additional data are now available a t 25", and better extrapolations have been performed a t this temperature, it was decided in the interests of smooth and consistent interpolation t o use only Geffcken's reported values of 4 ~ 0 , and to treat his results for the four salts as a family of very similar curves. This led to the smooth values of horecorded in Table 111. The uncertainty in these values is high, and probably exceeds that of the smooth values of A, given in Table I. Fortunately, +KO is very simply corrected by equation 2 for future improvement in the values of +vO at any particular temperature.

Although the accuracy with which these quantities are presently known might not justify retention of the last two decimal places, we have recorded 4x0 to four figures so that future improvements in any of the critical quantities A,, +v0 and A s may be used very simply t o yield more precise values of +KO. These results show that K,o is negative, and increases rapidly (becomes more positive) with increasing temperature. The rate of increase decreases with rise in temperature, suggesting that Kzo may pass through a maximum above 50". is, of course an additive property of the ions.

THE SEPARATION OF HYDROGEN, DEUTERIUM AND HYDROGEE DEUTERIDE MIXTURES BY GAS CHROMBTOGRAPHY BY PAULP. HUNTAND HILTOX A. SMITH Department of Chemastry, Universaty o j Tennessee, Knoxcalle, Tennessee Receiued June $0, 1960

The resolution and analysis of t h e components of hydrogen-deuterium mixtures have been accomplished by gas chromatography a t 77°K. Neon was employed as the carrier gas, and the column was chromia deposited on alumina. Orthohydrogen and parahydrogen did not separate on the chromia-alumina column. The separation factor for hydrogen deuteride and deuterium was much greater than that for hydrogen and hydrogen deuteride. The complete separation of deuterium and hydrogen deuteride was also obtained on a silica gel column with hydrogen as the carrier gas, whereas a charcoal column produced very little separation.

Gas chromatography affords a simple method for t'he analysis of t'he hydrogen isotopes. Various degrees of separation have been reported by several investigators. l--B A recent preliminary communications describes the first complete separation of hydrogen, hydrogen deuteride and deuterium by this method. The resolution was accomplished by means of a chromia-alumina column operated at 77'K. with neon as the carrier gas. Details of this separation. as well as experiments with other columns are given in the present contribution. Experimental Apparatus .-The chromia-alumina column consisted of a single piece of copper tubing 12 ft. in length and with an outside diameter of 5/16 in. Grade F-1, 8-14 mesh, activated alumina, obtained from the Aluminum Company of America, was crushed and screened through a series of standard screens. The column packing was prepared from 225 g. of 20-40 mesh alumina to which 6.7y0by weight chromium trioxide was added in 350 ml. of water. The mixture was agitated for three hours and the excess liquid was removed b y filtration. The residue was dried and the chromic acid reduced in a stream of hydrogen at 360". The yellow material turned green upon reduction. Small dust particles were removed by screening following the reduction process. After the column was packed and coiled in a spiral 4 in. in (diameter, water was added to the column in order to obtain partial deactivation. Considerable evolution of heat was noted as the water was added. The column was reactivated when desired by passing a stream 2f nitrogen through the column for three hours a t 140-150 . -4circulatory gas flow system with neon as the carrier gas was employed with the chromia-alumina column.

A double-acting, piston-type pump furnished sufficient pressure differential for gas flow. The construction of the gas pump was similar to those previously described.7~8with the following modifications. The piston barrel, a proximately 5 in. long, was constructed from 12-mm. yrex glass tubing. A Teflon-covered magnetic plunger, 1.5 in. in length, was fitted inside the chamber. The outlet and inlet connections t o the piston barrel were made of Pyrex tubing with an outside diameter of 6 mm. Valves were constructed from sections of 9-mm: glass tubing approximately in. in length, fitted over 1/2-in. sections of 6-mm. capillary tubing. The capillary tubing was ground on the end, and a section of a microscope cover glass was seated in the narrow space between the capillary end and the connection between the 6- and 9mm. tubing. Indentations were made at the taper seal between the 9- and 6-mm. tubing just above the cover g!ass to prevent the cover glass from turning edgewise and sticking during the pumping process. The inlet leads from each end of the pump were connected together with glass tubing, as were also the outlet leads. The plunger was moved by two doughnut-shaped Indox magnets obtained from the Indiana Steel Products Company of Valparaiso, Indiana. The magnets were clamped in a brass carrier. The magnet carrier was connected by means of a string across a pulley to a disc attached to a motor to furnish reciprocal movement of the plunger. A slot cut in a disc allowed the stroke length to be properly adjusted. The motor speed was 45 r.p.m. The system was prepared for operation by evacuation and flushing with hydrogen and neon. The entire apparatus was then filled with neon to a pressure slightly greater than that of the atmosphere. When the column was immersed in liquid nitrogen, it was necessary to add more neon to maintain this pressure. The hydrogen and deuterium samples were oxidized in a hot copper tube after the samples had passed through the katharometer. The resulting water was adsorbed in silica gel and charcoal traps. The flow rate was measured bv a soap-film meters placed in the circulatory system. Neon was conserved between a series of runs by absorbing the excess from the column in the charcoal trap immersed in liquid nitrogen. Silica gel columns, 6 and 10 ft. in length, were prepared from 40-60 and 60-80 mesh material obtained from the Davison Chemical Company. The packing was activated at 140-150° before being placed in the column. Hydrogen,
