Abstract

A thermistor differential vapor pressure apparatus (vapor pressure osmometer) capable of being used over a wide temperature range is described. Solvent and solution contact only glass and platinum, and the cell is gas tight so that any desired atmosphere can be maintained in the cell. By means of a double water-jacket, the random temperature fluctuations between the solvent and solution thermistors are held to ±1 × 10−50. At relatively high solute concentrations, >0.01M in suitable solvents, an accuracy of about 0.25% is attainable. In higher vapor pressure solvents, 1% precision is obtained in solutions as dilute as lmM.
