Pressure: 6.6 - 52.5 $\pu{kPa}$

Prepared by:

Yu.P. Yampol'skii

Method/Apparatus/Procedure:

Cahn electrobalance was used to measure sorption. Corresponding state principle was applied for calculation of fugacity ratio. [1,2].

Source and Purity of Materials:
  1. Xe: purity 99.999%.
  2. Poly($n$-alkyl-$L$-glutamates) and alkyls $\ce{C3-C5}$ prepared according to [3] by ester exchange method, Other alkyl derivatives - Kyuowa Hakko K. K. and Ajimoto Co.; degree of polymerization 1150.
Estimated Errors:

Ambient temperature: ±0.5 K
Weight: ±10 mg for 50-100 mg samples.
