Pure Solution

A precision freezing point apparatus with platinum resistance thermometer was used to investigate the system hydrogen peroxide – water over the whole concentration range. The freezing point of the purest sample of hydrogen peroxide obtained by repeated fractional crystallizations of a large quantity of 99.6% pure solution was found to be −0.461°C; that of the dihydrate was −52.10°C. The two eutectics occur at concentrations of 45.2% and 61.2% H2O2 and at temperatures of −52.4° and −56.5°C. respectively. Contrary to what has been reported previously, water and hydrogen peroxide do not form solid solutions together. This was proved conclusively by applying the technique of radioactive tracers to the 'wet residue' method of Schreinemakers.

Abstract A precision thermistor bridge and thermistor is described for use in a thermal titration calorimeter or a high-speed stopped- or continuous-flow calorimeter of the Roughton type. These are compared and evaluated with regard to several other types of detectors, including the platinum resistance thermometer, thermocouple, transistor thermometer, and capacitance thermometers. At this time the best detection for our purpose seems to be a specially constructed 20-100 kΩ thermistor used in conjunction with a new ac lock-in amplifier bridge. The sensitivity of the system is equivalent to a peak-to-peak noise of 25 x 10-6 °C, with a 100-ms time constant and 1 µW power dissipation in the thermistor. Long-term drift of the bridge, without an oven, was 1 x 10-6 °C/min.
