The molecular interactions in a carboxylic acid/sodium carboxylate compound which is a liquid at room temperature were calculated using a CNDO/2 approach. The calculations gave results distinguishing the energy for different conformations in the molecular compound. The maximum binding energy was found for a structure in which the four acids were bridging with a hydrogen bond from the acid OH group to the carboxylate group and the acid carbonyl groups forming a ligand bond to the carboxylate sodium ion. © 1979 Academic Press, Inc.

Nucleation Experiments with Monodisperse NaCl Aerosols Showed Good Agreement with the Kohler Theory Relating the Critical Super-Saturation S//c to the Dry Size. Aerosols Produced by Condensing NaCl Showed the Same S//c as Those Produced by Evaporating Aqueous NaCl Solution Droplets. This Indicates that If There is an Energy Barrier in Going from a Dry NaCl Particle to a Solution Droplet, This Energy Barrier is Small. the Fact that the Evaporation Aerosol Particles Are Cubical Crystals and the Condensation Aerosols Are Amorphous Spheres is Shown to Make No Difference in the Nucleation Threshold. the Investigation Also Gives Insights into the Performance …
