Thermal decomposition of iron(II) sulphate heptahydrate in air in the presence of basic magnesium carbonate

Results on the thermal decomposition of iron(II) sulphate heptahydrate in the presence of basic magnesium carbonate are presented and discussed. These results are compared with those for the mixture of iron(II) sulphate heptahydrate with basic beryllium carbonate. While no reaction occurs between the components in the case of basic beryllium carbonate, basic magnesium carbonate reacts readily with iron(II) sulphate heptahydrate.

Extractive spectrophotometric determination of dioxouranium(VI) with the sodium salt of hexamethyleneiminecarbodithioate

The optimum conditions for the extractive spectrophotometric determination of dioxouranium(VI) with hexamethyleneiminecarbodithioate(HMICdt) have been established. Dioxouranium(VI) reacts with this ligand at pH 4.5 to form a yellowish-orange uncharged 12 metal-ligand complex which can be extracted by chloroform. The calibration graph was linear in the range of 1–20 g ml^–1 of dioxouranium(VI) at 335 nm. The molar absorptivity of the extracted species is 5.952×10³ l mol^–1 cm^–1 with Sandell's sensitivity of 0.04 g cm^–2. The average of 10 determinations of dioxouranium was 49.75 g for the samples containing 50 g of U(VI) and the variation from the mean at 95% confidence limit was 49.75±0.5955.

HFe2Co(CO)9(3-S) reacts with (5-Cp)Mo(CO)3Cl in refluxing THF to give heterometallic trinuclear clusters (5-Cp)MoFeCo(CO)8(3-S) and [(5-Cp)Mo]2Fe(CO)7-(3-S), which have been characterized by elemental analyses, i.r., 1H- and 13C-n.m.r. and X-ray crystal structure determination. An electrophilic addition–elimination sequence is proposed for their formation.     

Fällungsanalyse im Mikrogrammbereich: Eine neue Methode

Zusammenfassung Eine neue Methode zur Durchführung gravimetrischer Bestimmungen im Mikrogrammbereich wurde beschrieben; diese beruht im wesentlichen darauf, daß der Niederschlag nicht mehr zusammen mit dem Filter, sondern nach Überführen mit einem geeigneten Lösungsmittel in einem separaten Wägegefäß gewogen wird.Die dazu nötigen Geräte und deren Herstellung wurden beschrieben. Nach dieser Methode wurden folgende Bestimmungen mit zufriedenstellender Richtigkeit durchgeführt: 2,5–25g Al, 5–50g Cu und 5–50g Zn mit Oxin, 2,5–25g Fe(III) und 2,5–25g Ti(IV) mit N-Benzoyl-phenylhydroxylamin, 5–50g Ni und 5–50g Cu mit Salicylaldoxim, 2,5–50g Co(II) und 2,5–50g Fe(III) mit -Nitroso--naphthol sowie 5–50g Chlorid als Silberchlorid.

Precipitation analysis in the microgram-scale: A new method

Summary A new method for gravimetric determinations in the microgram-scale is described. This method is based on the fact that the precipitate is not weighed together with the filter but is transferred to a separate weighingvessel using a suitable solvent. The necessary simple devices and their use are described. The following determinations were carried out with satisfying accuracy: 2,5–25g Al, 5–50g Cu and 5–50g Zn with Oxine, 2,5–25g Fe and 2,5–25g Ti withN-benzoylphenylhydroxylamine, 5–50g Ni and 5–50g Cu with salicylaldoxime, 2,52–50g Co and 2,5–50g Fe with -nitroso--naphthol and 5–50g chloride as silver chloride.

     

Effect of Surfactants on the Immobilization of 4-(2-Pyridylazo)resorcinol on Silochroms

The effect of cationic surfactants (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, cetylpyridinium bromide, and tetrabutylammonium perchlorate) and a nonionic surfactant (OP-7) on the conditions of the immobilization of 4-(2-pyridylazo)resorcinol (PAR) on three types of silica gel (Silochrom S-120 (200–350 m), Silochrom S-120 (315–500 m), and Silochrom S-80 (200–350 m)) was studied. It was found that OP-7 does not affect the adsorption of surfactants. The effect of cationic surfactants increases in the order tetrabutylammonium perchlorate < cetyltrimethylammonium bromide < cetylpyridinium bromide. The adsorption activity of silica gels increases in the order Silochrom S-120 (315–500 m) < Silochrom S-80 (200–350 m) < Silochrom S-120 (200–350 m). Cetylpyridinium bromide provides full immobilization of PAR on silica gel Silochrom S-120 (200–350 m) in the pH range 2–9.

Preparation of micron-size monodisperse polymer particles by seeded polymerization utilizing the dynamic monomer swelling method

Utilizing a new type of monomer swelling method, 6.1 m-size monodisperse polymer particles were prepared by seeded polymerization. 1.8 m-size monodisperse polystyrene (PS) seed particles (1.8 m in size) were prepared by dispersion polymerization in ethanol-water (80/20, v/v) medium in the presence of poly(acrylic acid) as stabilizer with 2,2-azobisisobutyronitrile as initiator. The PS seed dispersion was mixed with ethanol-water (60/40, v/v) solution dissolving styrene (S) monomer, benzoyl peroxide as initiator, and poly(vinyl alcohol) as stabilizer. By slow, continuous, dropwise addition of water with a micro feeder into the mixture, the PS particles absorbed the many S monomers, which were separated from the medium and swelled from 1.8 m to 8.4 m while keeping the monodispersity high. We named this procedure the dynamic swelling method. Then, the seeded polymerization of the absorbed S monomer was carried out in the presence of NaNO₂ as water-solube inhibitor.Part CXXII of the series Studies on Suspension and Emulsion.     

Diacetylenic Derivatives of Fe2(CO)6(μ-EE′): Spectroscopic Investigations of Fe2(CO)6{μ-EC(H) = C(C≡ CMe)E′} (E = E′, E ≠ E′; E, E′ = S, Se, Te)

The diacetylenic adducts, Fe₂(CO)₆{-EC(H) = C(C CMe)E} (E = E, E E; E, E = S, Se, Te) (1–8) have been obtained from the room temperature stirring of Fe₂(CO)₆(-EE) with HC CC CMe in methanol solvent containing sodium acetate. Compounds 1–8 have been characterized by IR and multinuclear NMR (¹H, ¹³C, ⁷⁷Se, and ^l25Te) spectroscopy. Trends in the chemical shifts of ⁷⁷Se and ¹²⁵Te NMR spectra of Fe₂(CO)₆{-EC(H) = C(C CMe)E} with a variation of EE are discussed.     

A technique for capillary joining in capillary electrophoresis

Summary Aspects of cracking and joining capillaries have been investigated. Capillary coupling was achieved using various methods. The most successful used hydrofluoric acid-etched capillaries to form male and female ends which were then joined together. This type of joint was used to connect sections of capillary of similar and different internal diameters with minimal loss in resolution, peak width and number of theoretical plates. (Uridine and hypoxanthine was used as a test mixture). For hypoxanthine on a 50 m/50 m etched joined capillary 10 cm from the detector window the number of theoretical plates was 96.6% of that for hypoxanthine on an unbroken capillary. Following the relative success of capillary joining, a coupled capillary flowcell (50 m/200 m) was produced and evaluated.

Thermal decomposition of halo-bis(piperidyldithio-carbamates) of As(III), Sb(III) and Bi(III)

Simultaneous TG/DTG/DTA studies under non-isothermal conditions have been carried out in air and nitrogen on some halo-dithiocarbamates of the general formula XM[S₂CN(CH₂)₅]₂ (X=Cl, Br and I; andM=As, Sb and Bi).E* values for the 1st stage of decomposition were determined by graphical methods and the TTN temperatures were calculated from the TG profiles. A possible mechanism of the decomposition reaction is suggested, based on the thermoanalytical and pyrolysis results and the mass spectral data. The kinetic analysis data on five of the above dithiocarbamates and nine complexes of the general formula M[S₂CN<]₃ (M=As, Sb and Bi; and N<=NEt₂, N(CH₂)₅ and N(CH₂)₄O) were studied by the QIA (quasi-isothermal analysis) technique in air atmosphere. An example of kinetic parameter (k andn) estimation for the first decomposition stage is given for Bi[S₂CN(CH₂)₅]₃, with the assumption of different kinetic equations.

Effect of water on hydrogen desorption from the surface of Rh/C catalysts

An increase in the number of titration cycles results in a considerable decrease in H_T and O_T values, which in turn, brings about a decrease in the amount of desorbed hydrogen. This shows that water, being a product of titration reaction, is adsorbed on the oxidized surface of rhodium and represents a kinetic-diffusive barrier for hydrogen titration.

The thermal properties of polysiloxanes poly(dimethyl siloxane) and poly(diethyl siloxane)

New measurements and literature data on polysiloxanes covering heat capacities, transition parameters, enthalpies, entropies and Gibbs energies are presented and critically reviewed. TheATHAS computation method is used to bring heat capacities into agreement with an approximate frequency spectrum. The various crystal and mesophases are discussed. TheATHAS (1990) recommended data are as follows: For poly(dimethyl siloxane) the glass transition is at 146 K with an increase in heat capacity of 29.24 J/(K mol). The completely crystalline sample melts at about 219 K with a heat of fusion of 2.75 kJ/mol. For poly(diethyl siloxane) the glass transition is at 135 K with an increase in heat capacity of 34.48 J/(K mol). The completely crystalline sample changes to a condis crystal at 206.7 K with a heat of disordering of 2.72 kJ/mol. The transition to a poorly characterized viscous crystal with thermodynamic properties close to the melt occurs at 282.7 K with an enthalpy of transition of 1.84 kJ/mol. Final fusion occurs at 308.5 K and a small endotherm of about 231 J/mol. Tables of heat capacities, enthalpies, entropies and Gibbs energies are given from 0 K to 550 K.

Zusammenfassung Neue Messungen und Literaturangaben von Polysiloxanen über Wärmekapazität, Umwandlungsparameter, Enthalpien, Entropien und Gibbssche Energien werden vorgestellt und kritisch betrachtet. Das Rechenverfahren ATHAS wurde benutzt, um die Wärmekapazitäten mit einem annähernden Frequenzspektrum in Einklang zu bringen. Es wurden die verschiedenen Kristall- und Mesophasen diskutiert. Die von ATHAS (1990) empfohlenen Werte sind wie folgt: Für Poly(dimethylsiloxan) beträgt der Glasumwandlungspunkt 146 K bei Zunahme der Wärmekapazität um 29.24 J/(K.mol). Die vollständing kristalline Probe schmilzt bei etwa 219 K mit einer Schmelzwärme von 2.75 kJ/mol. Für Poly(diethylsiloxan) beträgt der Glasumwandlungspunkt 135 K bei Zunahme der Wärmekapazität um 34.48 J/(K.mol). Die vollständig kristalline Probe wandelt sich bei 206.7 K um, die Fehlordnungswärme beträgt 2.72 kJ/mol. Die Umwandlung in einen wenig verstandenen viskosen Kristall, dessen thermodynamische Eigenschaften denen der Schmelze gleichen, erfolgt bei 282.7 K mit einer Umwandlungsenthalpie von 1.84 kJ/mol. Letztendlich verläuft das Schmelzen bei 308.5 K mit einem kleinen endothermen Effekt von etwa 231 J/mol. Wärmekapazitäten, Enthalpien, Entropien und Gibbssche Energien sind für den Bereich 0 K–550 K tabellarisch angegeben.

Calorimetry for thermokinetic determinations

The possibilities of using direct calorimetric measurements for the determination of kinetic parameters of processes are discussed in terms of the choice of an appropriate method of reproduction of the course of changes in the heat power generated in time, i.e. thermokinetics. Such methods are presented and it is concluded that many of these methods permit reproduction of the thermokinetics in the same way as if the experimental thermal curve were obtained in a calorimetric system characterized by a time constant 100–200 times as large as that for the thermal inertia of this calorimetric system.

Solche Methoden werden angeführt und es wird die Schlussfolgerung gezogen, dass viele dieser Methoden die Reproduzierung der Thermokinetik auf gleiche Weise wie in den Fällen erlauben, in denen die thermische Kurve mit einem kalorimetrischen System erhalten wird, dessen Zeitkonstante um 100–200mal grösser als die des diskutierten Systems ist.
