Research Abstract

A new apparatus has been designed and assembled to measure the equilibrium constants between poly-atomic vapors of metalloid elements such as arsenic, antimony, selenium, tellurium, etc. at the temperature range of 1000-1500K.
A torsion-effusion cell bearing a pure element or some alloy is hung on a weighing balance with a fire wire and heated under high vacuum. The decreasing rate of sample mass and the torque around the suspension wire, both caused by the effusion of vapors, are simultaneously measured. A set of two equations is solved to determine the equilibrium pressures of predominant species and the equilibrium constant for the dissociation/association reaction among species is derived.
An electronic balance was assembled in a big bell jar of an ultra high vacuum pumping system. The controlling and indicating circuits were separated to the outside of the vacuum chamber. The torsional force on the cell is determined from the twisting angle of the suspension wire, which is 195mm long in this study.
Torsion effusion cell of graphite has two orifices with 1mm diameters and a separation of 16mm. The total mass of the cell with a sample weighs around 20g. A heating device of 75mm high and 60mm diameter is located inside the chamber. The cell is heated by radiation.
Experimental errors were analyzed for various conditions of measurements. A systematic error by neglecting any third species if exists was also discussed.
