The binary gaseous diffusion coefficients of air with methane, methyl chloride, methylene chloride, chloroform, and carbon tetrachloride at 298.2 °K and 1 atm have been determined. A simple diffusion cell was used, in which concentration changes of the diffusing gas were followed by infrared spectrophotometry.

The infrared spectra of chloral, carbon tetrachloride, and chloroform have been determined between 1500 and 650 cm.−1 over a range of pressures in the gas phase. Absorption bands suitable for the quantitative analysis of binary and ternary mixtures of the components have been selected and their peak intensities shown to obey Beer's Law over the range of pressures studied. Ternary mixtures have been analyzed from the spectra with an accuracy of about 20%.The spectra of dichloromethane and methyl chloride have also been measured under comparable conditions.

In the past, some authors have not defined the diffusion coefficient appropriate to their experimental system, consequently, valuable data have been lost. We discuss the various diffusion coefficients referred to all possible frames of reference in relation to the choice of a suitable experimental system for the determination of gaseous diffusion coefficients in porous media. A modified Ney and Armistead type diffusion cell is described with an improved method of calculation of results from continuously monitored concentration changes in the diffusion cell.

The diffusion coefficients in air of carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, and methylene chloride have been measured over a temperature range from room temperature to close to their boiling points by a modified rate of evaporation method. It was shown that considerable error can occur in diffusion coefficients determined by the rate of evaporation method when gas imperfections are ignored.
