A drop of this solution and adrop of solvent are suspended, side by side, on separatethermistors in a closed chamber saturated with solvent vapor.Since the vapor pressur

7、e of the solution is lower than that of thesolvent, solvent condenses on the sample drop and causes atemperature difference between the two drops. The resultantchange in temperature is measured and used to determine therelative molecular mass (molecular weight) of the sample byreference to a previou

Significance and Use3.1 Relative molecular mass (molecular weight) is a funda-mental physical constant that can be used in conjunction withother physical properties to characterize pure hydrocarbons andtheir mixtures.3.2 A knowledge of the relative molecular mass (m

There is also some evidence thatdeterminations on the same oil sample carried out in different solvents willproduce results that differ somewhat in absolute magnitude of apparentmolecular weight (relative molecular mass).5.3

19、 Reference StandardsA calibration curve must be con-structed for each new lot of solvent using a pure compoundwhose relative molecular mass (molecular weight) is accu-rately known. Compounds that have been used successfullyinclude benzil (210.2), n-octadecane (254.5), and squalane(422.8).6. Sampling

20、6.1 The sample must be completely soluble in the selectedsolvent at concentrations of at least 0.10 M, and it must nothave an appreciable vapor pressure at the test temperature.7. Preparation and Calibration of Apparatus7.1 Prepare standard 0.01, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06, 0.08, and 0.1 Msolutions of the cal

21、ibrating compound in the solvent selected.7.2 Remove the upper sample chamber assembly. Rinse thesolvent cap with the solvent to be used. Install a vapor wick inthe cup and fill with solvent to the bottom of the notches in theinner wick. Place the cup in the chamber base recess, align thevapor wick

22、openings with the viewing tubes, and replace theupper assembly. Take care that the guide pins properly engagematching holes in the thermal block and that the matchingsurfaces of the base and block are clean. Be careful not to allowthe thermistor beads to touch the cup or wicks as they may bebent out

23、 of alignment. Turn on the thermostat and allow thetemperature of the sample chamber to reach equilibrium at37C.NOTE 2If the block is at room temperature, 2 to 3 h will be required.To avoid such delay, it is desirable to always leave the thermostat switchin the “on” position. If the chamber is at eq

24、uilibrium and is opened briefly,30 to 45 min will generally be required before temperature stabilization isregained. The exchange or refilling of syringes does not necessitate anywaiting period.7.3 Thoroughly rinse all syringes with the solvent beingused and allow to dry.7.4 Fill the syringes from g

25、uide tubes “5” and “6” with thesolvent. Fill the syringes for guide tubes “1” through “4” withthe standard solutions in order of increasing concentration.7.5 Insert the syringes into the thermal block, keeping theguide pins pointed away from the probe. Turn on the “NullDetector” switch (Note 3). Set

26、 the sensitivity control tosufficient gain so that a 1.0-V shift in the “Dekastat” producesone major division shift of the meter needle.NOTE 3No measurements should be attempted until the “Null Detec-tor” switch has been on for at least 30 min.7.6 Turn on the “Bridge” switch and turn the “T-DT” swit

27、chto “T”. Approximately zero the meter with the “T” potentiom-eter and observe the drift of the needle. If the solvent chamberis at equilibrium, the needle should not drift more than 1 to 2mm during one complete heating cycle; a steady drift to theright indicates that the chamber is still warming up

28、; if “T” isstable, switch the selector to the “DT” position.7.7 While observing the thermistors in the viewing mirror,lower the syringe in position “5”, by rotating the knurled collarof the holder fully clockwise. With the end of the needledirectly above the reference thermistor, turn the feed screw

29、 andrinse the thermistor with about 4 drops of solvent. Finally,deposit a drop of solvent on the thermistor bead and raise thesyringe by rotating the knurled collar in a counterclockwisedirection. Rinse the sample thermistor with solvent fromsyringe “6” and apply a drop approximately the size of the

30、 dropon the reference thermistor. Depress the zero button, and zerothe meter with the “Zero” control. Set the decade resistance tozero, and balance the bridge using the “Balance” control.Repeat the balancing of the bridge with fresh drops of solventon each thermistor to assure a good reference zero.

31、7.8 Lower syringe “1” and rinse the sample thermistor with3 to 4 drops of solution, finally applying one drop to the bead.Start the stop watch. Center the meter by means of the decadedials and take readings at 1-min intervals until two successivereadings do not differ by more than 0.01 ohm. Record t

32、he DRvalue, estimating to the nearest 0.01 V from the meter. Recordthe time required to reach this steady state, and use this time forall subsequent readings for the solvent used.7.9 Upon completing each series of sample readings, rinsethe sample thermistor with solvent, deposit a drop, and recheckt

33、he zero point. The meter should reproduce the originalindication within 0.5 mm. If the needle shows a negativedeflection, the sample thermistor should be rinsed again. If itshows a positive deflection, the drop on the reference therm-istor should be replaced.7.10 Plot the DR values for each concentr

34、ation of standardagainst the molarity of the standard for the solvent used.NOTE 4The calibration must be repeated for each of the solvents to beemployed and separate working curves constructed. Recalibration isnecessary each time a new batch of solvent is put into use.8. Procedure8.1 Select the solv

35、ent to be used and fill the solvent cup asdescribed in 7.2. Weigh into a 25-mL volumetric flask theamount of sample suggested in the following table (Note 2):Estimated Relative Molecular Mass Sample Size, gLess than 200 0.3200 to 500 0.3 to 0.6500 to 700 0.6 to 0.9700 to 1000 0.9 to 1.3Record the we

Weigh to the nearest 0.001 mg usinga microbal

37、ance.8.2 Fill syringes “5” and “6” with solvent and fill one of theremaining syringes with the sample solution. With the samplechamber at thermal equilibrium, balance the bridge to establishthe reference zero as described in 7.6 and 7.7.8.3 Rinse the sample thermistor with 3 or 4 drops of thesample

38、solution and deposit 1 drop on the thermistor. Start thestop watch. Center the meter with the decade dials and recordDR at the time interval determined during the standardizationfor the solvent being employed (7.8). When running a series ofsamples, check the zero point frequently as described in 7.9

39、.8.4 Using the appropriate calibration curve, obtain themolarity corresponding to the observed DR value.9.
