Abstract:
A four-time correlation function was calculated using a computer simulation of a binary Lennard-Jones mixture. The information content of the four-time correlation function is similar to that of four-time correlation functions measured in NMR experiments. The correlation function selects a subensemble and analyzes its dynamics after some waiting time. The lifetime of the subensemble selected by the four-time correlation function is calculated, and compared to the lifetimes of slow subensembles selected using two different definitions of mobility, and to the alpha relaxation time.

Homogeneous Equilibria for Gaseous Reactions
For gas-phase reactions, the equilibrium constant may be expressed in terms of either the molar concentrations (Kc) or partial pressures (Kp) of the reactants and products. A relation between these two K values may be simply derived from the ideal gas equation and the definition of molarity. According to the ideal gas equation:
