This study presents a new method, Köhler Theory Analysis (KTA), to infer the molar volume and solubility of organic aerosol constituents. The method is based on measurements of surface tension, chemical composition, and CCN activity coupled with Köhler theory. KTA is evaluated by inferring the molar volume of six known organics (four dicarboxylic acids, one amino acid, and one sugar) in pure fo...

M olar volumes and surface tensions o f m olten L aC l3-KCl m ixtures were m easured by dilatom etry and the m axim um bubble pressure m ethod, respectively. The m olar volum e isotherm s were found to deviate positively from additiv ity over the whole com position range, with the m axim um deviation at ca. 30 mol% L aC l3. At the same concentration the isotherm s o f surface tension at tem per...

Metal oxides are a group of compounds that are now intensively studied because of their wide use in modern ceramic materials, composites, nano-composites, etc., with new special properties. Many oxides are used as electronic materials for their electrical, magnetic and optical properties. The mechanisms of corrosion of metals and their alloys, as well as the mechanism of reduction in metallurgi...

Lithium cadmium phosphate glasses were prepared by melt quench technique. These glasses contain a mole % composition of x% Li2O-(50-x)% CdO-50%P2O5. The quantity x varies from 0-40 mole%. The physical properties reported in this paper are mass density ρ, modulus of rigidity η, coefficient of linear expansion α, transition temperature Tg, Softening temperature Ts, Oxygen packing density, Molar v...

An asymmetric moissanite anvil cell is used to study aqueous solutions of ammonium iodide at pressures up to 10 kbar. The index of refraction is measured using the rotating Fabry-Perot technique, with an accuracy of approximately 1%. The mass density and molar volume of the solutions are estimated using the measured index values, and the molar volume is used to predict the pressure dependence o...

Two simple, sensitive, rapid, accurate and precise spectrophotometric methods were developed for the analysis of parts per million levels of widely used carbamate pesticide Carbendazim. The first proposed method A is based on the Oxidation followed by complex formation product with 2,2-Bipyridyl – Fe(III) to form orange colored chromophore exhibiting absorption maximum at 512 nm with apparent m...

We report a simple universal method to systematically improve the accuracy of hydration free energies calculated using an integral equation theory of molecular liquids, the 3D reference interaction site model. A strong linear correlation is observed between the difference of the experimental and (uncorrected) calculated hydration free energies and the calculated partial molar volume for a data ...
