The density of n-CsHls at liquid hydrogen temperature, 0.948, is known through the observations of Heuse.2 Materials.--"Synthetic" n-octane from the Matheson Co. was used without further purification. The C2(CHa), was vacuum distilled from material generously furnished by Dr. G. Calingaert, of purity stated as 99.69%, and melting point 100.69'. Procedure.-Samples were either frozen about a cop er wire or in a heavy copper cup. Each sample was thorougEly degassed in the liquid state, and moisture was carefully excluded. Details can be furnished upon request. The densities of liquid hydrogen and methyl alcohol a t the temperatures used were determined by weighing a 10-g. brass weight immersed therein.

we calculated the molal volumes of these two octanes plotted' in Fig. 1. It is noteworthy that although the more symmetrical octane occupies a larger volume a t low temperatures, as would be expected by analogy with the relative packing of spheres and rods, the reverse is true with their liquids. There is an interesting parallelism between the volume of C2(CH3)sand its entropy in the same range, from the measurements of Scott, Douslin, Gross, Oliver and Huffman.6 This work was supported in part by the Atomic Energy Commission.

Experimental.-The solubilities were determined using a two-bulb glass apparatus with a pressure stopcock and a spherical joint between the upper and lower bulbs. The upper bulb was partially filled with distilled carbon tetrachloride and heated for several minutes in a hot bath (130-140") in order to degas the solvent and sweep the air out of the bulb. A 20% solution of potassium iodide was added to the lower bulb which was then weighed and attached to the upper bulb. The apparatus was connected to a cylinder of chlorine (The Matheson C2mpany) and immersed in a therAfter flushing the connecting mostat regulated to f O . l tubing with chlorine several times, the apparatus was agitated by hand until the total pressure in the system, measured with a calibrated Bourdon gage, remained constant. The stopcock was then turned, allowing a sample of saturated chlorine solution to flow into the potassium iodide solution. The lower bulb was detached and weighed. The amount of iodine liberated by the chlorine was determined by titrating with standard sodium thiosulfate solution using starch solution as the end-point indicator.

quently the chlorine-carbon tetrachloride solutions show less deviation from ideality above 40" than predicted by an extrapolation of the earlier data.

EXCHANGE BETWEEN HEAVY WATER AND CLAY MINERALS* BY JOSEPH A. FAUCHER~ A N D HENRY C. THOMAS Deportment 01Chemistry, Y a l e University, New Haven, Conn. Received September BO, 1064

Water associated with a clay mineral may either be an integral part of the crystal lattice, as OH groups, or bound more or less loosely to the clay in a variety of ways. We report here experiments of a somewhat preliminary nature on exchanges between the water of clays and added deuterium oxide done in the hope of adding to our knowledge on the nature of clay water and the intimacy of its contact with the structural hydroxyl groups. The exchange of deuterium oxide directly with the hydroxyl groups of two clay minerals has been studied by McAuliffe, Hall, Dean and Hendricks3 who found with kaolinite and halloysite complete and rapid H-D exchange with surface OH groups and a slow diffusion into the lattice a t elevated temperatures. These workers used clay intensively dried in vacuo. The present work was done with air-dried material, Le., with material containing much free water, and the exchange results correlated with weight-loss curves done a t temperatures up to 800". Experimental

The procedure for most of the exchanges was as follows. About 0.5 g. of clay of known water content was accurately weighed into a small glass centrifuge tube, heavy water added, and the tube again weighed. The tube was tightly closed, shaken vigorously and allowed to stand overnight. After more shaking the tube was centrifuged and the supernatant liquid (about 0.5 g.) removed. The water mixture was distilled in a short-path molecular type still, used merely for ease in handling the small samples, closed to the outer atmosphere through a drying tube. The distillates were analyzed by means of a Zeiss dipping refractometer equipped with the auxiliary prism for small samples. Temperature control for the refractometer was provided by a water-bath at Discussion.-The results of the solubility meas- 30.00 f 0.03'.
