Question: Determination of Lennard-Jones potential parameters from diffusivity data of a binary, gas mixture (a) Use the following data 5 for the system H 2 O-O

Determination of Lennard-Jones potential parameters from diffusivity data of a binary, gas mixture

(a) Use the following data5 for the system H2O-O2 at 1atm pressure to determine σAB and εAB/k:

One way to do this is as follows: (i) Plot the data as log (T3/2/DAB) versus log T on a thin sheet of graph paper. (ii) Plot Ωs AB versus kT/εAB on a separate sheet of graph paper to the same scale. (iii) Superpose the first plot on the second, and from the scales of the two overlapping plots, determine the numerical ratios (T/(kT/εAB)) and ((T3/2/DAB)/ΩsAB) (iv) Use these two ratios and Eq. 17.3-11 to solve for the two parameters σAB and εAB/K.
