This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1899 edition. Excerpt: ...with the temperature. 88. Dissociation Among the causes which make vapours deviate from the laws of perfect gases the most important depends upon the dissociation which the molecules undergo as well from rise of temperature as from diminution of pressure. In earlier sections of this book we have several times spoken of this dissociation. Especially in 48-51 has its nature been described and the influence which it exerts on the density of a vapour. In a vapour the molecules are not all of the same size and mass as in a perfect gas. The case often occurs, in consequence of the forces of cohesion, in which two molecules which chance to come near enough to each other join together to form one molecule of double size; and just as frequently the case arises that such a double molecule splits up again into its constituents, either as a result of collision with another molecule, or simply in consequence of an increase of speed, which not only breaks up the whole molecule, but also partly tears apart the atoms bound up in it. Hence it happens that a vapour is always a mixture of large and small molecules. The ratio in which the simple and compound molecules are mixed together differs with the temperature; for an increase of speed, as brought about by a rise of temperature, increases the probability of the division of the larger masses. The number of simple molecules therefore increases when the temperature rises, and that of the compound molecules when the temperature falls, until finally, at a definite temperature, all are broken up and the perfectly gaseous state is attained. At lower temperatures, on the contrary, the number of the compound molecules is in excess. This behaviour of the molecules explains, as before remarked, the...
