An unconventional apparatus, described in detail, determines, through a measured small volume increment, the temperature dependence of the second virial coefficient of a vapour without the necessity for isothermal expansion. Absolute pressure determinations are avoided by working differentially, vapour against nitrogen reference gas. Results for n-butane at 0-150� agree with established work.

Second dielectric virial coefficients Bε (T) of the rare gases Ne, Ar, Kr, and Xe are calculated in a broad range of temperature using accurate HFD-type interatomic interaction potentials and available information on the trace of the pair polarizability Δα. It is shown that the experimentally determined temperature-variation of Bε(T) cannot be reproduced by existing theories. However, it is observed that the reduced dimensionless form of Bε(T) follows a remarkably regular pattern, strongly resembling the sign-inverted temperature variation of the second density virial coefficient Bϱ(T) with the same Boyle-temperature.

An analytic expression for the second virial coefficient in case of the Morse potential is derived. The parameters of the Morse potential are determined for eighteen species comprising inert gases, diatomic and polyatomic molecules, and mixtures of gases using experimental second virial coefficients. The calculated second virial coefficients based on the obtained Morse potential agree well with the empirical second virial coefficients and their temperature dependence.

New measurements of the temperature variation of the second virial coefficient of benzene from 35� to 184� are reported, combined with selected direct measurements up to 33j0, and used to evaluate the parameters for various intermolecular potential energy functions.


The second virial coefficients of binary mixtures of chloroform with methyl formate, n -propyl formate, methyl acetate, ethyl acetate and diethylamine have been measured in a ‘Boyle’s law apparatus’ at temperatures between 50 and 95 °C. The measured values are consistently higher than predicted by the theory of corresponding states, and a quantitative interpretation is proposed, based on the hypothesis that the esters and amine are partially dimerized and are involved in association with the chloroform by hydrogen bonding. A linear relation is shown to exist between the heats and entropies of association for the various mixtures, and the theoretical significance of this is discussed. There is some evidence that hydrogen bonds are formed through the alkoxyl oxygen by formate esters and through the carbonyl oxygen by acetate esters. The paper includes data on the second virial coefficient for the pure esters and for ethyl formate and methyl propionate.

Values of adjustable parameters of the Bender equation of state evaluated for chloromethane, dichloromethane, trichloromethane, tetrachloromethane, and chlorobenzene from published experimental data are presented. Experimental data employed in the evaluation included the data on state behaviour (p-ρ-T) of fluid phases, vapour-liquid equilibrium data (saturated vapour pressures and orthobaric densities), second virial coefficients, and the coordinates of the gas-liquid critical point. The description of second virial coefficient by the equation of state is examined.

The interaction energy between argon atoms is correlated with the following experimental properties of argon: (1) the temperature dependence of the entropy of the crystal, (2) the temperature dependence of the energy of the crystal, (3) the temperature dependence of the density of the crystal, (4) the pressure dependence of the density of the crystal, (5) the temperature dependence of the second virial coefficient of the gas, (6) the viscosity at high temperatures of the gas. The interaction energy which best accords with all these properties is strikingly different from the commonly advocated difference between an inverse twelfth power and an inverse sixth power of the distance.


The second virial coefficients of some binary mixtures of organic vapours have been measured at temperatures between 50 and 120° C. Mixtures of n -hexane with chloroform and of n -hexane with diethyl ether show a linear variation of second virial coefficient with composition. This is shown to be in accordance with prediction from the principle of corresponding states. Mixtures of chloroform with diethyl ether show a linear variation at 120° C, but pronounced curvature at lower temperatures. This is interpreted quantitatively as being due to association by hydrogen bonding with an energy of 6020 cal/mole.

Abstract A reasonable heuristic extrapolation of a theory given by Buckingham is used to estimate the frequency-and temperature-dependence of the second refractivity virial coefficient. The calculations are carried out for the atoms He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe and the small molecules H2 , N2 , O2 , HCl, CO2 , N2O, NH3 , CH4 , C2H4 , and SF6 . In some cases the frequency-dependence of BR (ω, T) is compared with experimental values, showing sometimes considerable deviations between experiment and the heuristic approach used in this work.


A general theory of the second virial coefficient of axially symmetric molecules is developed, the directional part of the intermolecular field being treated as a perturbationon the central-force part. The method is applicable to any type of intermolecular potential, particular models of directional interaction being obtained by suitable choices of parameters. Simple expressions are given for the second virial coefficient due to several types of directional force. The theory is illustrated by some calculations on the force field of carbon dioxide and its relation to the second virial coefficient and crystal data. These indicate that there is strong quadrupole interaction between carbon dioxide molecules.
