3 1. Introduction. In recent years, much effort has been devoted to the development and improvement of theories on the equation of state of gases and liquids. The cell theory of the liquid state, the cluster expansion of the compressibility factor, the method of the radial distribution function and the Monte Carlo computations all try to give an understanding of experimental behavior in terms of molecular interaction. In the comparison of theory and experiment, the heavy noble gases play an important role. This is due to the fact that in most theories on the equation of state no numerical results can be obtained unless some simplifying assumptions are made, which rule out the application of the theory to all substances not possessing a simple molecular structure. These assumptions are : 1. Classical statistical mechanics may be used for the translational degrees of freedom of the molecules. *) The computations for this paper were performed under Contact DA- 1 l-022-ORD-2526 of the Office of Ordonance Research, at the University of Wisconsin Theoretical Chemistry Laboratory, Madison,

have also been carried out with the critical parameters. The method of reduction and the choice and accuracy of the reduction factors are described in 9: 2, the results of the reductions are then tabulated. A comparison of these results permits a check of the validity of the law of corresponding states for argon and xenon. This comparison and conclusions drawn from it are contained

in 5 3.

9 2. Method and reduction 9arameter.s. The procedure followed in obtaining reduced thermodynamic properties at regular intervals of reduced density and temperature may be summarized as follows. After a choice of experimental data is made, these data are tabulated, with density and temperature as variables. Then, the property of interest, as well as the entries of the table are brought into reduced form. Finally, since values of the thermodynamic properties are desired at values of the reduced temperature and density which generally do not coincide with the experimental entries of the table, a double interpolation must be performed. In the present research, the experimental information consists of data for the product PV for argon and xenon, as determined by Michels and coworkers 2). The authors converted the experimental data into tables containing PV at regular intervals of density and temperature. From these tabulated values of PV, they derived similar tables for the other thermodynamic properties, for instance, for the internal energy UZ and the internal entropy St. For the noble gases, these functions are the difference in energy and entropy, respectively, between the gas under consideration and an ideal gas at the same density and temperature. Expressed in the critical constants, the density range of the experimental data for argon is from zero up to 2dC, the temperature interval is from T = 0.9T, up to 2.8T,. For xenon the corresponding figures are: d from zero up to 2.5d, and T from l.lTc up to 1.5T,. The accuracy of the PV values is about one part in 10,000, though somewhat less in the regions around the critical point and in the liquid phase. The accuracy of UZ and St is roughly an order of magnitude less. In the reduction with molecular parameters, reduced quantities are obtained as follows: d* = Na3lV,,

T* = kT/e, Ut* = UiINe, Si* = SijNk,

(1)

where N is Avogadro’s number, k is Boltzmann’s constant, E and 0 are the energy and length parameter, respectively, which characterize the intermolecular field, while Vm is the molar volume *). *) The numerical in so-called Amagat

data for argon and xenon were obtained, as usual, by expressing the volume units (of volume). The Amagat unit of volume for a particular gas is equal to

It turned out that except for the numbers at the cclgcs of thtl tables, tqecially thaw closc~ to the two-l)haw region, that tables obtained by interpolation have: ahnost the samt‘ accuracy as thcb original ant’s, i.c., mostly of thv order of magnitude of thy last digit cluotvtl. Howwr, the reliability of thv tables is dt+cwnined not so much bar thci accuracy of the interpolation procedure, as by the precision of the molecular and critical parameters. This brings us to the problem of sclccting the lwst values of t’ and (r to construct the rctluction factors. In the case of reduction with molecular parameters, thcsv rctluction factors are combinations of t‘ and 0. In the present papc’r, thcw cluantitics were deduced from data for the second virial coefficient as a function of tcmperaturc ; the second virial cwfficicnt in turn was clcrivetl from compwssibility measurements. ‘l‘hc accuraqr of the reduction factors is thcrvfow far less than that of the original comprt~ssibility measurements. ‘This is also trucl for reduction factors from critical constants, since thcsc arc usually not as well known as compressibility data in other regions. Therefore, it is thtl accuracy of the reduction factors rather than that of tht, interpolation process, which determines the reliability of the reduced tables.

Usually, the reliability of B values is not much better than one percent. Uncertainties are also introduced by the procedure of comparing experimental and theoretical B vs.T curves.

for argon (Table IX). Then, the validity of the law of corresponding states may be checked by comparison of reduced isotherms of argon and xenon in the case that molecular parameters are used for reduction. (Table X). Finally, a similar check may be made for properties obtained by reduction with the critical parameters of argon and xenon (Table XI). Table IX shows that values of PVIRT, Ui* and St*, obtained with the molecular parameters (5) and (6) for argon, show a satisfactory agreement below the critical density. However, in the dense gas and at low temperatures discrepancies become apparent for the compressibility factor. They must be attributed mainly to the influence of the difference in G, since the density reduction factors differ by 2% whereas the temperature factors differ by 4 parts in 1000 only. The percentage deviations in Ug* are almost constant since Ui* varies roughly proportional to the density. In general, the internal functions Ui* and Se* are less sensitive to changes in reduction parameters than the compressibility factor. The conclusion must be that reduced experimental compressibility data at high densities, and a fortiori in the liquid state, should be considered with due reticence, since small uncertainties in the reduction parameters have a large effect on the factor PVjRT in this range. Turning to the comparison of reduced argon and xenon isotherms obtained with molecular parameters, Table X shows deviations from corresponding states for the thermodynamic properties especially at high densities.

reduced data for xenon deviate about three times more from the argon values, than the difference between the two argon sets (Table IX) amounts to. Finally, as regards the reduction by critical parameters, Table XI shows that a somewhat closer agreement is obtained between the two gases in this case. However, the compressibility factor of xenon is lower again than that of argon at high densities. Before drawing any conclusions from the observed deviations from corresponding states, we must make sure that these deviations are real, and that they cannot be explained by uncertainties of the reduction factors. This may be done as follows. The Amagat density and Kelvin temperature of the PV/RT isotherms of argon may be multiplied by scale factors such that these isotherms are transformed into the compressibility isotherms of xenon, in the temperature range from 1.05 T, to 1.45 T, and for densities from zero up to 2d,. By requiring that the minima in the PV/RT vs. d isotherms coincide, one finds that the scale factor for the temperature is equal to 1.931 f 0.002. Then, the scale factor for the density is found by requiring the coincidence of the high density range of the isotherms. This factor is 0.633 f 0.001. With this choice of scale factors, the experimental PV!RT values of argon and xenon agree to about one percent in the range of overlap. Therefore, in comparing tables of reduced properties of argon and xenon, we can only expect to find corresponding states, if the ratio of

the temperature reduction factors used in a particular comparison is equal to 1.931, and the ratio of the density reduction factors is equal to 0.633. R summary of the actual ratios of these reduction factors, for reduction with molecular as well as with critical parameters, is given in Table XII. It is seen that they deviate considerably from the “ideal” ratios 1.931 and 0.633. We must check whether these differences may be due to uncertainties of the molecular or critical parameters.

(i.e., 3.7 Amagat units for xenon, 6 Amagat units for argon) to account for the difference. In view of the claimed experimental accuracy (5 2), this is not very probable. Since the use of critical parameters for reduction thus leads to deviations from corresponding states for these heavy noble gases, it is clear that the construction of semi-empirical equations of state in terms of a modified principle of corresponding states (9 1) may meet difficulties in the dense gas and the liquid state.

Table XI I also shows that in the reduction Lvith wzolectr/av~n~n~~z~ic~s,that paramctcr pair (6) for argon is clearly the better \vhtw corrc,spontling statcas with xc‘non arc conwrncd.

An inspection of Fig. 1, showing the difference of observed and theoretical H” as a function of 7‘* adds to suspicion concerning the, applicability of the Iznnartl-Jonc% 6-l 2 l)ottwtial for argon and xenon.

Thus, with this choice of parameters a law of corresponding states should hold for argon and xenon. Since this is not the cast, the assumption of additivity or the limitation to a universal two-parameter potential function must be in error. Unfortunately, it is not possible to sq)aratc thtl two effects using gas P-I’-T
