Title: (Basic properties of coals and other solids)

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/7263959· OSTI ID:7263959

The first report presented some heats of adsorption for a series of weak acids such as cresol, some alcohols and two esters on Carbopack F carbon. There was an excellent correlation between the heat of adsorption and the total polarizability (electronic polarizability plus orientation polarizability) for the adsorbate. Some preliminary heats of reaction for a series of substituted benzenesulfonic acids with slurries of polyvinylpyridine in acetonitrile were correlated with the corresponding heats of reaction of the acids with homogeneous solutions of pyridine in the same solvent. Report {number sign}1 also included some preliminary results for heats of interaction of various solids such as silica gel and three coals with solutions of triflic acid and methanesulfonic acid. These activities have been continued during the past quarter. The study of heats of reaction of cross-linked poly 4-vinylpyridine and pyridine at 25{degree} in acetonitrile were continued. 2 refs., 2 figs., 3 tabs.
