Corollary from the Exact Expression for Enthalpy of Vaporization

Abstract EN

A problem on determining effective volumes for atoms and molecules becomes actual due to rapidly developing nanotechnologies.

In the present study an exact expression for enthalpy of vaporization is obtained, from which an exact expression is derived for effective volumes of atoms and molecules, and under certain assumptions on the form of an atom (molecule) it is possible to find their linear dimensions.

The accuracy is only determined by the accuracy of measurements of thermodynamic parameters at the critical point.
