New measurements in the range 5–15 MHz are reported for Kr and Xe along the saturated vapour pressure (SVP) line and the critical isochore. Analyzed together with previous 55 Mz measurements the results indicate a limiting high frequency corresponding states behaviour in which both the attenuation and those parts of the measurements associated with bulk viscosity and critical point effects show simple inverse power law dependence on [Formula: see text].

Raoult's Law

AbstractThe humidity surrounding a sample is an important variable in scientific experiments. Biological samples in particular require not just a humid atmosphere but often a relative humidity (RH) that is in equilibrium with a stabilizing solution required to maintain the sample in the same state during measurements. The controlled dehydration of macromolecular crystals can lead to significant increases in crystal order, which often leads to higher diffraction quality. Devices that can accurately control the humidity surrounding crystals on a beamline have led to this technique being increasingly adopted, as experiments become easier and more reproducible. Matching the relative humidity to the mother liquor is the first step to allow the stable mounting of a crystal. In previous work, we measured the equilibrium relative humidity for a range of concentrations of the most commonly used precipitants and showed how this related to Raoult’s law for the equilibrium vapour pressure of water above a solution. However, a discrepancy between measured values and those predicted by theory could not be explained. Here, we have used a more precise humidity control device to determine equilibrium relative humidity points. The new results are in agreement with Raoult’s law. We also present a simple argument in statistical mechanics demonstrating that the saturated vapour pressure of a solvent is proportional to its mole fraction in an ideal solution: Raoult’s Law. The same argument can be extended to the case where solvent and solute molecules are of different size, as is the case with polymers. The results provide a framework for the correct maintenance of the RH surrounding samples.SynopsisThe equilibrium relative humidity values for a number of the most commonly used precipitants in biological macromolecule crystallisation have been measured using a new humidity control device. A simple argument in statistical mechanics demonstrates that the saturated vapour pressure of a solvent is proportional to its mole fraction in an ideal solution (Raoult’s Law). The same argument can be extended to the case where solvent and solute molecules are of different size.

Rate Of Evaporation

The rate of evaporation of a liquid may be calculated from the kinetic theory of gases if it be assumed that all vapour molecules which strike the surface enter the liquid and that, as a first approximation, the vapour behaves as a perfect gas. Under these circumstances, it follows from the kinetic theory of gases that m = mass of molecules leaving unit area per minute = mass of molecules striking unit area per minute from the saturated vapour = 14·63 P s /√T s gram/sq. cm. /min., where P s is the saturated vapour pressure in millimetres of mercury at the surface temperature T s ° A.
