•A thermal conductivity model is developed based on the analogy concept and is applied to pure substances.•Data are included for 24 organic families and 56 functional groups in a temperature range of ...16.6 to 604.65 K and pressures below 4032 bar.•The final model presents one interaction parameter that is generalized using the group contribution technique.•Prediction of thermal conductivity in the saturation and single-phase conditions are done.•The model provides acceptable results when in comparison to other correlations.
The aim of this work is to apply a group contribution method to describe the thermal conductivity of pure substances. The model has five adjustable parameters that have been generalized using the acentric factor, RTc/Pc relation, and a contribution of each group in the substance through a tendency graphical analysis. The thermodynamical properties included in the model are estimated using a modified Peng-Robinson EoS. The proposed model is applied to 351 substances distributed into 160 for the correlation, 96 for testing, and 95 for predictive capabilities. The above includes 24 organic families and 56 functional groups. The average absolute deviations are below 6.51% for the liquid-vapor coexistence and below 7.93% for the one-phase condition. The overall results are compared to other literature works on saturation and single-phase conditions. These results show that the model provides acceptable values of deviations and can be used to describe different types of substances. Finally, three cases of study are done as an alternative to represent the alkanes, 1-alcohols, and water substances. The average absolute deviations for 1-alkanes and 1-alcohols are below 7.00% and for water is around 3.76%. In general, the generalized model can be used as an alternative to describe the thermal conductivities of pure substances in the saturation and single-phase conditions with acceptable results.

Students? misconceptions in science can lead to a range of learning difficulties if the teacher does not choose the appropriate teaching strategies to reduce their frequency. In this paper, ...13?14-year-old students? misconceptions regarding structure and states of matter, pure substances, and mixtures are explored. The teaching strategy with E-learning material was applied to examine its effects on the frequency of misconceptions. The research was conducted in urban schools in Bosnia and Herzegovina with 7th- and 8th-grade students. Findings pointed to the misconceptions originating in transferring the macroscopic observations into the submicroscopic level and in misinterpretation of the size of particles. Students who used E-learning material at school mostly had lower percentages of misconceptions in comparison to students from the control group and students who accessed the same E-learning material from their home. This indicates that the E-learning strategy could have promising results if applied more extensively at schools. This study aims to direct teachers? attention toward applying E-learning in chemistry teaching, for students to gain scientifically accepted knowledge and to reduce the occurrence of misconceptions.
This paper presents the results of a series of studies aimed at investigating the reference material (RM) of a multicomponent solution. An algorithm for estimating the uncertainty induced by the ...chemical element content in the RM is proposed taking into account the mass of the measurand in each component of the mixture. The results calculated according to the preparation procedure using the proposed algorithm were confirmed by the Monte Carlo method, while the elemental content in the mixture was confirmed via inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy. The applicability of weighted mean estimates for characterizing an RM of a multicomponent solution is shown.
Se aplica un modelo para el cálculo de la viscosidad del tipo ecuación cúbica de estado de Peng-Robinson. El modelo ha sido empleado para correlacionar y predecir viscosidades de sustancias puras y ...mezclas en especial en la región de saturación. Los parámetros del modelo han sido generalizados en términos de la masa molar. Las expresiones generalizadas son estimadas mediante el ajuste de datos experimentales de alcanos y alcoholes. Las desviaciones absolutas promedio para la viscosidad, entre los valores correlacionados y los experimentales, son 6.26% y 7.21% para alcanos y alcoholes, respectivamente. Se realizan cálculos predictivos con desviaciones absolutas promedio de 3.99% para alcanos y 13.76% para alcoholes. Para viscosidades de mezclas se utilizaron tres enfoques de reglas de mezclado. Las desviaciones promedio calculadas son 18.66%, 10.31% y 3.85% para las reglas simples, de uno y dos parámetros respectivamente. Los resultados indican que el modelo propuesto proporciona resultados adecuados y consistentes, teniendo en cuenta la simplicidad de las expresiones generalizadas desarrolladas.

En este trabajo se modela la viscosidad dinámica de fluidos newtonianos a partir de la teoría de Eyring junto con la energía libre de Helmholtz residual. Para la estimación de esta energía se utiliza ...una versión modificada de la ecuación cúbica de estado de Peng-Robinson. Los parámetros ajustables del modelo se han determinado a partir de datos experimentales en la zona coexistencia líquido-vapor para n-alcanos y n-alcoholes. Posteriormente estos parámetros se han generalizado utilizando expresiones matemáticas simples que dependen del peso molecular de cada sustancia. Se evalúan las capacidades predictivas del modelo en condiciones de una sola fase. Las desviaciones absolutas durante el proceso de correlación son menores de 3,27%, mientras que en el proceso de predicción son menores de 5,60%. El modelo generalizado es extendido a mezclas binarias utilizando una regla de mezcla simple sin y con coeficientes de interacción, con desviaciones absolutas de 8,19% y 3,45%, respectivamente. Finalmente, el modelo es comparado con otros en la literatura y los resultados estadísticos muestran que proporciona resultados aceptables.

The article studies the development of transfer measurement standards in the form of high-purity metals (Ag, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ge, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb, V, Zn). The evaluation of the mass fraction of the ...main component (MDOK) is performed by an indirect method (100 %o minus the sum of impurities). The impurity composition of the reference measurement standard materials was determined by mass spectrometry with inductively coupled plasma, reductive and oxidative melting using the State primary measurement standard of mass (molar) fraction and mass (molar) concentration of the component in liquid and solid substances and materials, based on coulometry, GET 176. The relative expanded uncertainty of MDOK (k = 2, P = 0,95) in the reference measurement standards was less, than 0,01 %o, in gravimetrically prepared solutions of the reference measurement standard it was less than 0,05 %o in most cases. The solutions of the reference measurement standards were used in the determination of certified values of metal mass fraction and mass concentration in reference materials for composition of mono-element solutions of approved types. The relative expanded uncertainty of certified values (k = 2, P = 0,95) of reference materials variedfrom 0,22 %o to 0,54 %o. Thus, it was demonstrated that metals can be used as reference measurement standards for storing a unit of the mass fraction of the main component and transferring it during characterization of reference materials for composition of solutions of the corresponding chemical elements. This work was performed within the research project «Research in the field of measurements of physicochemical composition and properties of substances, aimed at the development of State transfer measurement standards in the form of high-purity substances for reproduction and transfer of the units, characterizing chemical composition of solid substances» under the code «Purity» (2015-2017) and research and development project «Research in the field of measurements ofphysicochemical composition and properties of substances, aimed at the development of State transfer measurement standards in the form of high-purity substances for reproduction and transfer of the units, characterizing the chemical composition of solid substances and the development of reference measurement procedures» under the code «Purity-2» in the field of physicochemical measurements of composition and properties of inorganic components in solid substances (metals and salts) and food safety indicators under the code «Purity-2b» (2017-2019).
