With the object of determining the factors responsible for the inapplicability of the ideal equation of the freezing curve,[Formula: see text]a number of experimental determinations have been carried out on the system naphthalene–p-nitrophenol. These were: (i) specific heat, (ii) heat of fusion, (iii) heat of mixing, (iv) vapour pressure, (v) vapour composition, (vi) density, (vii) surface tension, (viii) viscosity.The conclusion is arrived at that the discrepancy is due principally to the invalidity of Raoult's law in this case. Since the deviation is positive with respect to both components, it cannot be ascribed to compound formation in solution. Apart from the deviation from Raoult's law, the solution does not exhibit marked abnormality.The data obtained also permit of the complete, or almost complete, construction of the p–t–x model for this system.

The volatilization of plutonium from neutron-irradiated uranium has been examined at 1540°, 1650°, and 1769 °C. The observed rates of evaporation of plutonium have been compared with calculated rates based on the Langmuir equation and Raoult’s law. Experimental and calculated results agree within the precision of the experimental measurements, indicating that the plutonium in neutron-irradiated uranium follows the ideal solution laws.

Abstract 1. The cryoscopic method is not satisfactory for polyisobutylenes having chain lengths much over 40 isobutylene units, on account of the failure of their solutions to obey Raoult's law. 2. The present work has led to the selection of a Kcm value of 0.75×104 for n-hexane solutions of polyisobutylene for use in the equation M=(log ηr×Kcm)/C. 3. Extrapolation of cryoscopic data obtained on nonideal solutions to infinite dilution gives inordinately high molecular weight values compared with those based on freezing point measurements of ideal solutions. 4. Of several solvents studied, n-hexane was found to be the best for viscosity—molecular weight measurements of polyisobutylene. 5. Fractionation of polyisobutylene by diffusion into mixtures of n-hexane and acetone resulted in the separation of the lower polymer fractions.

Density, viscosity, specific conductivity, and freezing point measurements over the whole composition range of water–trifluoromethanesulfonic acid mixtures are reported. A maximum in viscosity and minimum in specific conductivity are observed at the composition corresponding to the monohydrate, H3O+SO3CF3−, and a maximum deviation from the ideal density is found at the composition corresponding to H5O2+SO3CF3−. The freezing point curve gives evidence for four hydrates with 1:1, 2:1, 4:1, and 6:1 water/trifluoromethanesulfonic acid mole ratios. An incongruent melting hydrate, probably 2:1 acid to water mole ratio is also indicated.

An efficient automated milk detector based on freezing point depression is designed. This detector shares characters of high efficiency and good stability with accuracy and automation. Its main parts include temperature sensor of IC (Integrated Circuit), pinion-rack mechanism and crank-rocker mechanism and electronic control system. Monitoring in-situ change of milk freezing curve and developing efficiency of sampling can be available by means of pinion-rack mechanism and IC temperature sensor mechatronics design. As a result, adulterating status of milk can be discriminated in a rapid and accurate and automated way. The detector may be employed to detect liquid foods other than milk as well.

The influence of egg yolk, glycerol and the freezing rate on the survival of ram spermatozoa and on the structure of their acrosomes after freezing was investigated. Egg yolk was shown to be beneficial not only during chilling but also during freezing; of the levels examined, 1� 5 % gave the greatest protection. Although the presence of glycerol in the diluent improved the survival of spermatozoa, increasing concentrations produced significant deterioration of the acrosomes. With closely controlled linear cooling rates, no overall difference was detected in the survival of spermatozoa frozen at rates between 6 and 24�C per min. However, a significant interaction between freezing rate and the inclusion of glycerol in the diluent showed that glycerol was less important at the highest freezing rate. A sudden cooling phase near to the freezing point following the release of the latent heat of fusion was not detrimental to spermatozoa.
