Measurement of the Molecular Content of Binary Nuclei .3. Use of the Nucleation Rate Surfaces for the Water-N-Alcohol Series
In two preceding papers the molecular content of binary ethanol-hexanol and water-ethanol nuclei, respectively, was determined from nucleation rate measurements. While nucleation of ethanol-hexanol mixtures behaved nearly ideal, a strong mutual nucleation enhancement for water-ethanol was observed. Here we extend the investigations to include the longer chain alcohols, that is water -CiH2i+1OH systems with i = 2 to 6. Using the nucleation pulse technique developed in the past few years nucleation rates in the range 10(5)
