Degree of Dissociation in Abnormal Densities of Gases Degree of dissociation Measurement of the density of vapour may be used for calculating the degree of dissociation (α) of substances, i.e., the extent to…
Thermal Dissociation in Abnormal Densities of Gases Thermal dissociation explains abnormally low molecular mass obtained for many elements and compounds. Well known examples are the dissociation of Dinitrogen tetroxide (N2O4), Ammonium chloride…
Molecular Dissociation in Abnormal Densities of Gases Molecular dissociation Upon heating, the density of aluminum chloride vapour decreases and at 800°C the density corresponds to the formula Aluminium chloride (AlCl3), i.e., one…
Molecular Association in Abnormal Densities of Gases Molecular association is an attractive interaction between two molecules that results in a constant association in which the molecules are in close propinquity to each…
Abnormal Densities of Gases Abnormal Densities of Gases: Molecular Association and Dissociation Density defined in a qualitative manner as the measure of the relative “heaviness” of objects with a…
The Buoyancy Method in Density of Gases The buoyancy method This is a very accurate method of determining gas density. A very small quantity of the gas is sufficient for measurement by…
Method of Limiting Density in Density of Gases Method of limiting density The methods: Regnault’s method, Dumas method, Hofmann’s method, Victor Meyer’s method, and the buoyancy method are based on the assumption that…
Victor Meyer’s Method in Density of Gases Victor Meyer’s method This is perhaps the most common method for the determination of the molecular mass of substances which are liquid or solid at…
Hofmann’s Method in Density of Gases Hofmann’s method In this method, a known mass of the liquid is allowed to evaporate in the vacuous space above the mercury column in a…
Regnault’s Method in Density of Gases Regnault’s method The method is based on the measurement of the mass of a known volume of gas under the definite condition of temperature and…
