Report on Volatility of Levinstein Mustard
Abstract
The vapor pressure of Levinstein mustard was determined at 40 deg C and over an appreciable range of composition of the ingredients to determine how the volatility varies with the amount of material removed by vaporization. The mustard sample was found to contain approximately 1% of material which possesses a volatility about three times that of pure mustard. The following 9% of the sample showed very little change in volatility, and its value is about 0.9 that of pure mustard. The amount of non-volatile impurity in solution in the Levinstein mustard is at a concentration of approximately 0.1 mole fraction. The data are compared with those previously obtained for pure mustard, and may be of interest in a consideration of certain field problems dealing with the use of mustard gas.
