Kinetics and mechanism of isothermal dehydration of LiKC4H4O6 · H2O single-crystals

The kinetics of isothermal dehydration of LiKC₄H₄O₆.H₂O single-crystals was investigated in the [001] crystallographic direction under a dynamic vacuum of 6.7×10^–5 Pa with a quartz crystal microbalance. The removal of H₂O molecules may be described by a diffusion equation for a semi-infinite medium. The diffusion coefficients vary from 2.13×10^–11 cm² s^–1 at 391.7 K to 9.9×10^–9 cm² s^–1 at 453.2 K. The scanning electron microscope data provide some evidence that the dehydration is not a topochemical reaction. From the experimental data it is concluded that the anhydrous product is in the state of premelting. This explains the anomalous diffusion energyE _D=37±1 kcal mol^–1 and preexponential factorD ₀=5×10⁹ cm² s^–1.

Zusammenfassung Die Kinetik der Entwässerung von LiKC₄H₄O₆.H₂O in [001] — Richtung unter dynamischem Vakuum wurde mit einer Quarzkristall-Mikrowaage verfolgt. Die Abgabe von Wasser kann mit einer Diffusionsgleichung für ein halb-unendliches Medium beschrieben werden, die Diffusionskoeffizienten variieren von 2, 13 · 10^–11 cm²s^–1 bei 391,7 K bis 9,9 · 10^–9 cm² s^–1 bei 453,2 K. Rasterelektronenmikroskopische Aufnahmen zeigen, daß die Entwässerung nicht topochemisch abläuft. Nach dem experimentellen Ergebnis befindet sich das entwässerte Produkt in einem Vorschmelz-Stadium. Daraus erklären sich die anomalen Werte für die DiffusionsenergieE _D=(37±1) kcal mol–1 und den präexponentiellen FaktorD ₀=5 · 10⁹ cm² s^–1.

Differential thermal analysis study of various oxalates in oxygen and nitrogen

Differential thermal analysis (DTA) of some 25 oxalates are reported in atmospheres of oxygen and nitrogen. It is shown that in some cases in nitrogen the metal is formed, in other cases the oxide of lowest valency state is produced, while a third group give the same oxide product in nitrogen and oxygen. The production in oxygen of the oxide for the first group, and of a higher oxide in the second group is a phenomenon which in the first case involves a further reaction of the metal with the oxygen atmosphere. Another group of oxalates produce characteristic DTA curves due to the formation of carbonate as the initial decomposition product. The dehydrations of these oxalates are marked by endothermic peaks.

Zusammenfassung Es wurden 25 verschiedene Oxalate durch DTA in Stickstoff- und Sauerstoffatmosphäre untersucht. In einigen Fällen wurde in Stickstoff das Metall gebildet, in anderen das Oxyd von niedrigster Wertigkeit. Es kommt auch vor, daß das gleiche Produkt in beiden Gasen entsteht. Beide erwähnten Produkte werden in Sauerstoff entsprechend oxydiert. Bei einigen Oxalaten erhielt man charakteristische Spitzen, die zeigten, daß das erste Zersetzungsprodukt Karbonat war. Die Dehydration dieser Oxalate zeigte sich durch endothermische Spitzen.

Résumé On communique les résultats de l'étude de 25 oxalates par analyse thermique différentielle, dans l'oxygène et dans l'azote. On montre que pour certains d'entre eux, dans l'azote, le métal se forme, et que pour d'autres l'oxyde correspondant à la valence la plus faible apparaît; d'autres encore donnent le même oxyde dans l'azote et dans l'oxygène. Dans l'oxygène, et pour le premier groupe, il se forme l'oxyde, tandis que l'oxyde supérieur apparaît pour le second groupe; dans le premier cas, une réaction ultérieure du métal avec l'oxygène de l'atmosphère est mise en jeu. Un autre groupe d'oxalates donne des enregistrements d'ATD caractéristiques en raison de la formation de carbonate comme produit de décomposition initial. Ces oxalates se déshydratent en donnant des pics endothermiques.

The importance of the CO 2 2− anion in the mechanism of thermal decomposition of oxalates

The effects of active (carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide) and neutral (helium, argon and nitrogen) atmospheres on the course of thermal decomposition of oxalates have been studied and compared. A mechanism of thermal decomposition has been proposed on the basis of the results obtained, the first stage of which consists in a heterolytic dissociation of the C-C bond, with the formation of carbon dioxide and the CO ₂ ^2– anion.

Microcalorimetric and FT-IR spectroscopic study of benzene adsorption on α-Fe2O3 and γ-Al2O3

The adsorption of benzene at room temperature on-Fe₂O₃ and on-Al₂O₃ powders was investigated by heat-flow microcalorimetry and FT-IR spectroscopy.On iron oxide a chemisorption-combustion step is followed by a highly exothermic adsorption step, reversible at r.t.Few combustion centres exist on alumina if reducing pretreatment is not carried out. Two reversible adsorption steps are subsequently observed and were interpreted as due to interaction with two different types of surface hydroxy groups.

Beim Eisenoxid folgt auf dem Chemisorptions-Verbrennungs-Schritt ein bei Raumtemperatur reversibler, stark exothermer Adsorptionsschritt. Aluminiumoxid besitzt einige Oxydationszentren, sofern keine reduzierende Vorbehandlung erfolgt. Zwei aufeinanderfolgende reversible Adsorptionsschritte treten auf und werden der Wechselwirkung mit zwei verschiedenen Typen von Oberflächenhydroxylgruppen zugeschrieben.

Competitive uptake of Cs+, Ba2+, and Zn2+ ions from binary aqueous mixtures by zeolite-13X

The preferential exchange uptake of the cations Cs⁺, Ba²⁺ and Zn²⁺ from pure solutions by zeolite-13X follows the order Q [Cs⁺]>Q [Ba²⁺]>Q [Zn²⁺], while in case of binary mixtures the order is Q [Ba²⁺(Zn²⁺)]>Q [Ba²⁺(Cs⁺)]>Q [Cs⁺(Zn²⁺)]>Q [Cs⁺(Ba²⁺)]>Q [Zn²⁺(Cs⁺)]>Q [Zn²⁺(Ba²⁺)]. Ba²⁺ uptake from mixtures shows the least suppression effect.

Upper bounds to atomic electron densities in position and momentum spaces

Modified functions r ^–(r) and p ^–(p) of the spherically averaged electron densities (r) in position space and (p) in momentum space are found to be convex (i.e., the second derivatives are nonnegative everywhere) for all the 103 ground-state atoms from hydrogen (atomic number Z=1) to lawrencium (Z=103), if the parameters are chosen to be 0.6 and 1.4. The convex property of r ^–(r) and p ^–(p) is used to derive upper bounds to the density functions (r) and (p) in terms of their radial moments r ^s and p ^s or frequency moments ^t and ^t . In most cases, the present bounds are shown to be more general and more accurate than those reported in the literature.     

Chemical algebra. II: Discriminating pairing products

The algebra of stereogenic pairing equlibria is presented in a very general context. Starting from the notions of fuzzy subgroup and conjugacy link, chemical pairing constants between molecular speciesu andv having a skeletal symmetry groupG are formulated as pairing products on aG-Hilbert space. Discriminating pairing productsK are defined by the conditions: K 1 and K = 1 the representative vectors of the paired species areG-equivalent. WhenG has only two elements, the pairing product is always discriminating. For several skeletal symmetries, if the vectors are enantiomorphic (v = u, ² =e, G), thenK is greater than 1 and reaches 1 only ifu is achiral: chirality indexes and general permutational indexes are then defined fromK(u u). The general model is illustrated by some examples.     

On the pattern of hydrogenolysis of hexane isomers over four Group VIIIB metals

The hydrogenolysis patterns of five hexane isomers have been compared over Rh, Pd, Ir and Pt. The selectivity of rupture of various C–C bond types is different for various metals. The fingerprint-like patterns are, as a rule, similar to those reported in the literature, their correlation with the position of the metal in the periodic system is pointed out.

On the calculation of activation energies using a modified Kissinger method

Augis and Bennett (J. Thermal Anal. 13 (1978) 283.) [6] recently proposed a modified Kissinger method for determining the activation energy of a transformation. It is shown that the proposed method was, in fact, based upon a modification to the equation for the rate of reaction under non-isothermal conditions. The apparent discrepancy between the proposed method and the original Kissinger method is therefore resolved. The modified rate equation appears to have, at best, only a limited application. However, if the equation should be appropriate for a particular transformation, it is demonstrated that Augis and Bennett's method would be the correct method for determining the activation energy.

---

Zusammenfassung Von Augis und Bennett (J. Thermal Anal.13, (1978) 283) wurde eine modifizierte Kissinger-Methode zur Bestimmung der Aktivierungsenergie einer Umwandlung vorgeschlagen. Es wird gezeigt, dass die vorgeschlagene Methode tatsächlich in einer Modifizierung der Gleichung für die Reaktionsgeschwindigkeit unter nicht-isothermen Bedingungen ihren Ursprung hat. Die scheinbare Diskrepanz zwischen der vorgeschlagenen Methode und der ursprünglichen Kissinger-Methode wird dadurch behoben. Die modifizierte Geschwindigkeitsgleichung hat bestenfalls nur eine begrenzte Anwendung. Jedoch, bei Eignung dieser Gleichung für eine bestimmte Umwandlung zeigt sich, dass die Methode von Augis und Bennett die richtige Methode zur Bestimmung der Aktivierungsenergie sein kann.
