Abstract
The density of gaseous chlorine has been determined over the temperature range 15° to 75 °C. and up to two atmospheres. The values obtained are compared with those extant in the literature, and excellent agreement is found with the very precise measurements of Jaquerod and Tourpaian at 15 °C. and 725 mm. pressure. There is also good agreement, over the temperature range of this investigation, with the measurements of Pier at a pressure of one atmosphere. The equation of state proposed by Maass and Mennie is shown to fit the experimental results over the whole range and to give, for temperatures and pressures outside the region covered by this investigation, values of the density of gaseous chlorine that are in good agreement with the results obtained by Jaquerod and Tourpaian, and by Pier. Tables of calculated and experimentally determined densities and apparent molecular weights show the deviations of gaseous chlorine from ideality. The equation of state is given in a convenient form for the calculation of the density of the gas in industrial applications.
