The principal measure and distributional (p, q)-chaos of a coupled lattice system related with Belusov–Zhabotinskii reaction

García Guirao and Lampart (J Math Chem 48:66–71, 2010; J Math Chem 2 48:159–164, 2010) said that for non-zero couplings constant, the lattice dynamical system is more complicated. Motivated by this, in this paper, we prove that this coupled lattice system is distributionally (p, q)-chaotic for any pair 0?≤ p?≤ q?≤ 1 and its principal measure is not less than ${\frac{2}{3} + \sum_{n=2}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n} \frac{2^{n-1}}{(2^{n}+1)(2^{n-1}+1)}}$ for coupling constant ${0 < \epsilon < 1}$ .     

An eigenfunction expansion of the non-selfadjoint Sturm–Liouville operator with a singular potential

In this paper, we consider the operator $L$ L generated in $L^{2}\left( \mathbb{R }_{+}\right) $ L 2 R + by the differential expression $$\begin{aligned} l\left( y\right) =-y^{\prime \prime }+\left[ \frac{\nu ^{2}-\frac{1}{4}}{x^{2}}+q\left( x\right) \right] y,\,\,x\in \mathbb{R }_{+}:=\left( 0,\infty \right) \end{aligned}$$ l y = - y ' ' + ν 2 - 1 4 x 2 + q x y , x ∈ R + : = 0 , ∞ and the boundary condition $$\begin{aligned} \underset{x\rightarrow 0}{\lim }x^{-\nu -\frac{1}{2}}y\left( x\right) =1, \end{aligned}$$ lim x → 0 x - ν - 1 2 y x = 1 , where $q$ q is a complex valued function and $\nu $ ν is a complex number with $Re\nu >0$ R e ν > 0 . We have proved a spectral expansion of L in terms of the principal functions under the condition $$\begin{aligned} \underset{x\in \mathbb{R }_{+}}{Sup}\left\{ e^{\epsilon \sqrt{x}}\left| q(x)\right| \right\} <\infty , \epsilon >0 \end{aligned}$$ S u p x ∈ R + e ? x q ( x ) < ∞ , ? > 0 taking into account the spectral singularities. We have also investigated the convergence of the spectral expansion.     

A note on the principal measure and distributional ({\varvec{p, q}})-chaos of a coupled lattice system related with Belusov–Zhabotinskii reaction

García Guirao and Lampart in (J Math Chem 48:159–164, 2010) presented a lattice dynamical system stated by Kaneko in (Phys Rev Lett 65:1391–1394, 1990) which is related to the Belusov–Zhabotinskii reaction. In this paper, we prove that for any non-zero coupling constant $\varepsilon \in (0, 1)$ , this coupled map lattice system is distributionally $(p, q)$ -chaotic for any pair $0\le p\le q\le 1$ , and that its principal measure is not less than $(1-\varepsilon )\mu _{p}(f)$ . Consequently, the principal measure of this system is not less than $$\begin{aligned} (1-\varepsilon )\left( \frac{2}{3}+\sum \limits _{n=2}^{\infty }\frac{1}{n}\frac{2^{n-1}}{(2^{n}+1) (2^{n-1}+1)}\right) \end{aligned}$$ for any non-zero coupling constant $\varepsilon \in (0, 1)$ and the tent map $\Lambda $ defined by $$\begin{aligned} \Lambda (x)=1-|1-2x|,\quad x\in [0, 1]. \end{aligned}$$      

The principal measure and distributional (p, q)-chaos of a coupled lattice system with coupling constant \varepsilon =1 related with Belusov–Zhabotinskii reaction

We consider the following system coming from a lattice dynamical system stated by Kaneko (Phys Rev Lett, 65:1391–1394, 1990) which is related to the Belusov–Zhabotinskii reaction: $$\begin{aligned} x_{n}^{m+1}=(1-\varepsilon )f\left( x_{n}^{m}\right) +\frac{1}{2}\varepsilon \left[ f(x_{n-1}^{m})+f\left( x_{n+1}^{m}\right) \right] , \end{aligned}$$ where $m$ is discrete time index, $n$ is lattice side index with system size $L$ (i.e., $n=1, 2, \ldots , L$ ), $\varepsilon \ge 0$ is coupling constant, and $f(x)$ is the unimodal map on $I$ (i.e., $f(0)=f(1)=0$ , and $f$ has unique critical point $c$ with $0<c<1$ and $f(c)=1$ ). In this paper, we prove that for coupling constant $\varepsilon =1$ , this CML (Coupled Map Lattice) system is distributionally $(p, q)$ -chaotic for any $p, q\in [0, 1]$ with $p\le q$ , and that its principal measure is not less than $\mu _{p}(f)$ . Consequently, the principal measure of this system is not less than $\frac{2}{3}+\sum _{n=2}^{\infty }\frac{1}{n}\frac{2^{n-1}}{(2^{n}+1) (2^{n-1}+1)}$ for coupling constant $\varepsilon =1$ and the tent map $\Lambda $ defined by $\Lambda (x)=1-|1-2x|, x\in [0, 1]$ . So, our results complement the results of Wu and Zhu (J Math Chem, 50:2439–2445, 2012).     

A CASPT2//CASSCF study of the quartet excited state \tilde{a}^{4}A^{\prime\prime} of the HCNN radical

Complete active space self-consistent field and second-order multiconfigurational perturbation theory methods have been performed to investigate the quartet excited state ${\tilde{a}}^{4}{A^{\prime\prime}}$ potential energy surface of HCNN radical. Two located minima with respective cis and trans structures could easily dissociate to CH $({\tilde{a}}^{4}\Sigma^{-})$ and $N_{2} ({\tilde{X}}^{1}\Sigma_{\rm g}^{+})$ products with similar barrier of about 16.0 kcal/mol. In addition, four minimum energy crossing points on a surface of intersection between ${\tilde{a}}^{4}A^{\prime\prime}$ and X ( $X={\tilde{X}}^{2}A^{\prime\prime}$ and ${\tilde{A}}^{2}A^{\prime}$ ) states are located near to the minima. However, the intersystem crossing ${\tilde{a}}^{4}A^{\prime\prime} \rightarrow X$ is weak due to the vanishingly small spin–orbit interactions. It further indicates that the direct dissociation on the ${\tilde{a}}^{4}{A^{\prime\prime}}$ state is more favored. This information combined with the comparison with isoelectronic HCCO provides an indirect support to the recent experimental proposal of photodissociation mechanism of HCNN.     

Three–step method to determine the eutectic composition of binary and ternary mixtures

A three-step method to determine the eutectic composition of a binary or ternary mixture is introduced. The method consists in creating a temperature–composition diagram, validating the predicted eutectic composition via differential scanning calorimetry and subsequent T-History measurements. To test the three-step method, we use two novel eutectic phase change materials based on \(\mathrm{Zn}(\hbox {NO}_3)_2\cdot 6\mathrm{H}_{2}{\mathrm O}\) and \(\mathrm{NH}_4\mathrm{NO}_3\)   respectively \(\mathrm{Mn}(\hbox {NO}_3)_2\cdot 6\mathrm{H}_{2}{\hbox {O}}\) and \(\mathrm{NH}_4\mathrm{NO}_3\) with equilibrium liquidus temperatures of 12.4 and 3.9  \(\,^{\circ }\mathrm {C}\) respectively with corresponding melting enthalpies of 135 J \(\mathrm{g}^{-1}\) (237 J \(\mathrm{cm}^{-3}\) ) respectively 133 J \(\mathrm{g}^{-1}\) (225 J \(\mathrm{cm}^{-3}\) ). We find eutectic compositions of 75/25 mass% for \(\mathrm{Zn}(\hbox {NO}_3)_2\cdot \mathrm{6H}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}\) and \(\mathrm{NH}_4\mathrm{NO}_3\) and 73/27 mass% for \(\mathrm{Mn}(\hbox {NO}_3)_2\cdot 6\mathrm{H}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}\) and \(\mathrm{NH}_4\mathrm{NO}_3\) . Considering a temperature range of 15 K around the phase change, a maximum storage capacity of about 172 J \(\mathrm{g}^{-1}\) (302 J \(\mathrm{cm}^{-3}\) ) respectively 162 J \(\mathrm{g}^{-1}\) (274 J \(\mathrm{cm}^{-3}\) ) was determined for \(\mathrm{Zn}(\hbox {NO}_3)_2\cdot \mathrm{6H}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}\) and \(\mathrm{NH}_4\mathrm{NO}_3\) respectively \(\mathrm{Mn}(\hbox {NO}_3)_2\cdot \mathrm{6H}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}\) and \(\mathrm{NH}_4\mathrm{NO}_3\) .     

Volumetric and Viscometric Studies in Binary Liquid Mixtures of 2-Methyl-2-propanol with Some Ketones at Different Temperatures

Densities, ??, and viscosities, ??, of binary mixtures of 2-methyl-2-propanol with acetone (AC), ethyl methyl ketone (EMK) and acetophenone (AP), including those of the pure liquids, were measured over the entire composition range at 298.15, 303.15 and 308.15?K. From these experimental data, the excess molar volume $V_{\mathrm{m}}^{\mathrm{E}}$ , deviation in viscosity ????, partial and apparent molar volumes ( $\overline{V}_{\mathrm{m},1}^{\,\circ }$ , $\overline{V}_{\mathrm{m},2}^{\,\circ }$ , $\overline{V}_{\phi ,1}^{\,\circ}$ and $\overline{V}_{\phi,2}^{\,\circ} $ ), and their excess values ( $\overline{V}_{\mathrm{m},1}^{\,\circ \mathrm{E}}$ , $\overline{V}_{\mathrm{m,2}}^{\,\circ \mathrm{ E}}$ , $\overline {V}_{\phi \mathrm{,1}}^{\,\circ \mathrm{ E}}$ and $\overline{V}_{\phi \mathrm{,2}}^{\,\circ \mathrm{ E}}$ ) of the components at infinite dilution were calculated. The interaction between the component molecules follows the order of AP > AC > EMK.     

New approximate formula for the generalized temperature integral

A new procedure to approximate the generalized temperature integral $ \int_{0}^{T} {T^{m} {\text{e}}^{ - E/RT} } {\text{d}}T, $ which frequently occurs in non-isothermal thermal analysis, has been developed. The approximate formula has been proposed for calculation of the integral by using the procedure. New equation for the evaluation of non-isothermal kinetic parameters has been obtained, which can be put in the form: $$ \ln \left[ {{\frac{g(\alpha )}{{T^{(m + 2)0.94733} }}}} \right] = \left[ {\ln {\frac{{A_{0} E}}{\beta R}} - (m + 2)0.18887 - (m + 2)0.94733\ln {\frac{E}{R}}} \right] - (1.00145 + 0.00069m){\frac{E}{RT}} $$ The validity of the new approximation has been tested with the true value of the integral from numerical calculation. Compared with several published approximation, the new one is simple in calculation and retains high accuracy, which indicates it is a good approximation for the evaluation of kinetic parameters from non-isothermal kinetic analysis.     

The mechanism of thermal decomposition of ionic oxalates

A mechanism for the thermal decomposition of ionic oxalates has been proposed on the basis of three quantitative relationships linking the quantitiesr _c/r _i (the ratio of the Pauling covalent radius and the cation radius of the metal atom in hexacoordination) andΣI _i (the sum of the ionization potentials of the metal atom in kJ mol^?1) with the onset oxalate decomposition temperature (T _d) (Eq. 1) the average C-C bond distance (¯d) (Eq. 2), and the activation energy of oxalate decomposition (E _a) (Eq. 3): (1) $$T_d = 516 - 1.4006\frac{{r_c }}{{r_i }}(\sum I_i )^{\frac{1}{2}}$$ (2) $$\bar d = 1.527 + 5.553 \times 10^{ - 6} \left( {122 - \frac{{r_c }}{{r_i }}(\sum I_i )^{\frac{1}{2}} } \right)^2$$ (3) $$E_a = 127 + 1.4853 \times 10^{ - 6} \left( {\left( {\frac{{r_c }}{{r_i }}} \right)^2 \sum I_i - 9800} \right)^2$$ On the basis of these results it is proposed that the thermal decomposition of ionic oxalates follows a mechanism in which the C-O bond ruptures first. From Eq. 3 it is further proposed that strong mutual electronic interactions between the oxalate and the cations restrict the essential electronic reorganization leading to the products, thereby increasingE _a.     

Half-width and asymmetry of glow peaks and their consistent analytical representation

The kinetic equation which describes many electronic as well as atomic or chemical reactions under the condition of a steadily linear raise of the temperature, is considered in a mathematically exact and straightforward way. Therefore, the equation has been transformed into a dimensionsless form, using with profit the maximum condition for the intensity peak. The two temperatures T₁ and T₂, corresponding to the half-height of the intensity peak, are found as unique polynomials of the small argument \(\bar y \equiv {{k\bar T} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{k\bar T} E}} \right. \kern-0em} E}\) only ( \(\bar T\) =temperature of peak maximum). Thereupon, further combinations give half-widthδ, peak asymmetryA=δ₂/δ₁ or \(\tilde A = {{\bar C} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\bar C} {(1 - \bar C)}}} \right. \kern-0em} {(1 - \bar C)}}\) and the maximum of the intensity peakJ; they again all depend only on¯y. In some cases this dependence is weak, so that e.g. it is deduced that the half-width energy product divided by \(\bar T^2 \) is an invariant, different for every kinetic orderπ: $$\frac{{\delta \cdot E[eV]}}{{\bar T^2 }} = \left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 {4998 K for monomolecular process}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {4998 K for monomolecular process}}} \\ {{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 {3542 K for bimolecular process}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {3542 K for bimolecular process}}} \\ {{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 {2872 K for trimolecular process}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {2872 K for trimolecular process}}} \\ \end{array} } \right.$$ By means of these correlations, activation energy valuesE [eV] can be determined accurately to within 0.5 %, so that for most experiments the inaccuracy of theδ values becomes dominant and limiting. A special nomogram for the express estimation ofE from experimentally observedδ and \(\bar T\) is demonstrated.     

Symmetry-itemized enumeration of RS-stereoisomers of allenes. I. The fixed-point matrix method of the USCI approach combined with the stereoisogram approach

After the RS-stereoisomeric group \(\mathbf{D}_{2d\widetilde{\sigma }\widehat{I}}\) of order 16 has been defined by starting point group \(\mathbf{D}_{2d}\) of order 8, the isomorphism between \(\mathbf{D}_{2d\widetilde{\sigma }\widehat{I}}\) and the point group \(\mathbf{D}_{4h}\) of order 16 is thoroughly discussed. The non-redundant set of subgroups (SSG) of \(\mathbf{D}_{2d\widetilde{\sigma }\widehat{I}}\) is obtained by referring to the non-redundant set of subgroups of \(\mathbf{D}_{4h}\) . The coset representation for characterizing the orbit of the four positions of an allene skeleton is clarified to be \(\mathbf{D}_{2d\widetilde{\sigma }\widehat{I}}(/\mathbf{C}_{s\widetilde{\sigma }\widehat{I}})\) , which is closely related to the \(\mathbf{D}_{4h}(/\mathbf{C}_{2v}^{\prime \prime \prime })\) . According to the unit-subduced-cycle-index (USCI) approach (Fujita, Symmetry and combinatorial enumeration of chemistry. Springer, Berlin 1991), the subduction of \(\mathbf{D}_{2d\widetilde{\sigma }\widehat{I}}(/\mathbf{C}_{s\widetilde{\sigma }\widehat{I}})\) is examined so as to generate unit subduced cycle indices with chirality fittingness (USCI-CFs). Then, the fixed-point matrix method of the USCI approach is applied to the USCI-CFs. Thereby, the numbers of quadruplets are calculated in an itemized fashion with respect to the subgroups of \(\mathbf{D}_{2d\widetilde{\sigma }\widehat{I}}\) . After the subgroups of \(\mathbf{D}_{2d\widetilde{\sigma }\widehat{I}}\) are categorized into types I–V, type-itemized enumeration of quadruplets is conducted to illustrate the versatility of the stereoisogram approach.     

A note on the generalized Rayleigh equation: limit cycles and stability

The aim of the present paper is to give an analytical proof on the existence and stability of the limit cycles in the generalized Rayleigh equation, which models diabetic chemical processes through a constant area duct where the effect of heat addition or rejection is considered, ${\frac{d^{2}x}{dt^{2}}+x = \varepsilon(1-(\frac{dx}{dt}) ^{2n})\,\frac{dx}{dt}}$ where n is a positive integer and ε a small real parameter. The main tool used for it is the averaging theory.     

Densities and Volumetric Properties of Butyl Acrylate + 1-Butanol, or +2-Butanol, or +2-Methyl-1-propanol, or +2-Methyl-2-propanol Binary Mixtures at Temperatures from 288.15 to 318.15 K

The densities, ρ, of binary mixtures of butyl acrylate with 1-butanol, 2-butanol, 2-methyl-1-propanol, and 2-methyl-2-propanol, including those of the pure liquids, were measured over the entire composition range at temperatures of (288.15, 293.15, 298.15, 303.15, 308.15, 313.15, and 318.15) K and atmospheric pressure. From the experimental data, the excess molar volume $ V_{\text{m}}^{\text{E}} $ V m E , partial molar volumes $ \overline{V}_{\text{m,1}} $ V ¯ m,1 and $ \overline{V}_{\text{m,2}} $ V ¯ m,2 , and excess partial molar volumes $ \overline{V}_{\text{m,1}}^{\text{E}} $ V ¯ m,1 E and $ \overline{V}_{\text{m,2}}^{\text{E}} $ V ¯ m,2 E , were calculated over the whole composition range as were the partial molar volumes $ \overline{V}_{\text{m,1}}^{^\circ } $ V ¯ m,1 ° and $ \overline{V}_{\text{m,2}}^{^\circ } $ V ¯ m,2 ° , and excess partial molar volumes $ \overline{V}_{\text{m,1}}^{{^\circ {\text{E}}}} $ V ¯ m,1 ° E and $ \overline{V}_{\text{m,2}}^{{^\circ {\text{E}}}} $ V ¯ m,2 ° E , at infinite dilution,. The $ V_{\text{m}}^{\text{E}} $ V m E values were found to be positive over the whole composition range for all the mixtures and at each temperature studied, indicating the presence of weak (non-specific) interactions between butyl acrylate and alkanol molecules. The deviations in $ V_{\text{m}}^{\text{E}} $ V m E values follow the order: 1-butanol < 2-butanol < 2-methyl-1-propanol < 2-methyl-2-propanol. It is observed that the $ V_{\text{m}}^{\text{E}} $ V m E values depend upon the position of alkyl groups in alkanol molecules and the interactions between butyl acrylate and isomeric butanols decrease with increase in the number of alkyl groups at α-carbon atom in the alkanol molecules.     

Auswertung von EMK-Messungen zur Bestimmung thermodynamischer Exzeßgrößen im System Silberchlorid—Lithiumchlorid

The partial molar excessGibbs energies \(\Delta \overline G _{AgCl}^E \) of AgCl in the binary system AgCl?LiCl have been measured over the entire composition range at temperatures between 923.15K and 1175.15K in steps of 50K, using the reversible formation cell $${{Ag\left( s \right)} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{Ag\left( s \right)} {AgCl\left( l \right)}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {AgCl\left( l \right)}}---LiCl\left( l \right)/C,Cl_2 $$ The measured \(\Delta \overline G _{AgCl}^E \) values were fitted by the use of theRedlich-Kister-Ansatz for thermodynamic excess functions. The evaluatedRedlich-Kister parameters have been used to calculate the molar excessGibbs energies ΔG ^E and the partial molar excessGibbs energies \(\Delta \overline G _{LiCl}^E \) of LiCl. From the temperature dependence of theRedlich-Kister parameters for ΔG ^E the partial and integral molar heats of mixing and excess entropies were calculated. For 1073 K and the mole fractionx=0.5 the following values were obtained: $$\Delta G^E = 2130\left[ {J mol^{ - 1} } \right], \Delta H^E = 1994\left[ {J mol^{ - 1} } \right], \Delta S^E = 0.127 \left[ {J mol^{ - 1} K^{ - 1} } \right]$$      

Thermodynamic Analysis of Homologous α-Amino Acids in Aqueous Potassium Fluoride Solutions at Different Temperatures

Partial molal volumes ( $V_{\phi} ^{0}$ ) and partial molal compressibilities ( $K_{\phi} ^{0}$ ) for glycine, L-alanine, L-valine and L-leucine in aqueous potassium fluoride solutions (0.1 to 0.5?mol?kg^?1) have been measured at T=(303.15,308.15,313.15 and 318.15) K from precise density and ultrasonic speed measurements. Using these data, Hepler coefficients ( $\partial^{2}V_{\phi} ^{0}/\partial T^{2}$ ), transfer volumes ( $\Delta V_{\phi} ^{0}$ ), transfer compressibilities ( $\Delta K_{\phi} ^{0}$ ) and hydration number (n _H) have been calculated. Pair and triplet interaction coefficients have been obtained from the transfer parameters. The values of $V_{\phi} ^{0}$ and $K_{\phi} ^{0}$ vary linearly with increasing number of carbon atoms in the alkyl chain of the amino acids. The contributions of charged end groups ( $\mathrm{NH}_{3}^{+}$ , COO^?), CH₂ group and other alkyl chains of the amino acids have also been estimated. The results are discussed in terms of the solute?Ccosolute interactions and the dehydration effect of potassium fluoride on the amino acids.     

Chemical Transfer Energies of Some Homologous Amino Acids and the –CH2– Group in Aqueous DMF: Solvent Effect on Hydrophobic Hydration and Three Dimensional Solvent Structure

Standard transfer Gibbs energies, $ \Updelta_{\text{tr}} G^{^\circ } $ , of a series of homologues α-amino acids have been evaluated by determining the solubility of glycine, alanine, amino butyric acid and norvaline gravimetrically at 298.15 K. Standard entropies of transfer, $ \Updelta_{\text{tr}} S^{^\circ } $ , of the amino acids have also been evaluated by extending the solubility measurement to five equidistant temperatures ranging from 288.15 to 308.15 K. The chemical contributions $ \Updelta_{\text{tr,ch}} G^{^\circ } (i) $ of α-amino acids, as obtained by subtracting theoretically computed contributions to $ \Updelta_{\text{tr}} G^{ \circ } $ due to cavity and dipole–dipole interaction effects from the corresponding experimental $ \Updelta_{\text{tr}} G^{ \circ } $ , are indicative of the superimposed effect of increased basicity and dispersion and decreased hydrophobic hydration (hbh) in DMF–water solvent mixtures as compared to those in water, while, in addition, $ T\Updelta_{\text{tr,ch}} S^{^\circ } (i) $ is guided by structural effects. The computed chemical transfer energies of the –CH₂– group, $ \Updelta_{\text{tr,ch}} P^{^\circ } $ (–CH₂–) [P = G or S] as obtained by subtracting the value of lower homologue from that of immediately higher homologue, are found to change with composition indicating involvement of several opposing factors in the calculation of the chemical interactions. The $ \Updelta_{\text{tr,ch}} G^{^\circ } $ (–CH₂–) values are found to be guided by the decreased hydrophobic effect in DMF–water mixtures, and are indicative of the nature of the three dimensional structure of the aquo-organic solvent system around each solute.     

Symmetry-itemized enumeration of quadruplets of RS-stereoisomers: I—the fixed-point matrix method of the USCI approach combined with the stereoisogram approach

The RS-stereoisomeric group $\mathbf{T}_{d\widetilde{\sigma }\widehat{I}}$ is examined to characterize quadruplets of RS-stereoisomers based on a tetrahedral skeleton and found to be isomorphic to the point group $\mathbf{O}_{h}$ of order 48. The non-redundant set of subgroups (SSG) of $\mathbf{T}_{d\widetilde{\sigma }\widehat{I}}$ is obtained by referring to the non-redundant SSG of $\mathbf{O}_{h}$ . The coset representation for characterizing the orbit of the four positions of the tetrahedral skeleton is clarified to be $\mathbf{T}_{d\widetilde{\sigma }\widehat{I}}(/\mathbf{C}_{3v\widetilde{\sigma }\widehat{I}})$ , which is closely related to the $\mathbf{O}_{h}(/\mathbf{D}_{3d})$ . According to the unit-subduced-cycle-index (USCI) approach (Fujita in Symmetry and combinatorial enumeration in chemistry. Springer, Berlin, 1991), the subdution of $\mathbf{T}_{d\widetilde{\sigma }\widehat{I}}(/\mathbf{C}_{3v\widetilde{\sigma }\widehat{I}})$ is examined so as to generate unit subduced cycle indices with chirality fittingness (USCI-CFs). The fixed-point matrix method of the USCI approach is applied to the USCI-CFs. Thereby, the numbers of quadruplets are calculated in an itemized fashion with respect to the subgroups of $\mathbf{T}_{d\widetilde{\sigma }\widehat{I}}$ . After the subgroups of $\mathbf{T}_{d\widetilde{\sigma }\widehat{I}}$ are categorized into types I–V, type-itemized enumeration of quadruplets is conducted to illustrate the versatility of the stereoisogram approach.     

Thermochemical Properties of n-Undecylammonium Bromide Monohydrate C11H28BrNO(s)

The crystal structure of n-undecylammonium bromide monohydrate was determined by X-ray crystallography. The crystal system of the compound is monoclinic, and the space group is P2₁/c. Molar enthalpies of dissolution of the compound at different concentrations m/(mol·kg^?1) were measured with an isoperibol solution–reaction calorimeter at T = 298.15 K. According to the Pitzer’s electrolyte solution model, the molar enthalpy of dissolution of the compound at infinite dilution ( $ \Updelta_{\text{sol}} H_{\text{m}}^{\infty } $ ) and Pitzer parameters ( $ \beta_{\text{MX}}^{(0)L} $ and $ \beta_{\text{MX}}^{(1)L} $ ) were obtained. Values of the apparent relative molar enthalpies ( $ {}^{\Upphi }L $ ) of the title compound and relative partial molar enthalpies ( $ \bar{L}_{2} $ and $ \bar{L}_{1} $ ) of the solute and the solvent at different concentrations were derived from experimental values of the enthalpies of dissolution.     

A mathematical approach to chemical equilibrium theory for gaseous systems—III: \hbox {Q}_\mathrm{p}, \hbox {Q}_\mathrm{c}, and \hbox {Q}_{\mathrm{x}}

The reaction quotient Q can be expressed in partial pressures as $\hbox {Q}_\mathrm{P}$ or in mole fractions as $\hbox {Q}_{\mathrm{x}}$ . $\hbox {Q}_\mathrm{P}$ is ostensibly more useful than $\hbox {Q}_{\mathrm{x}}$ because the related $\hbox {K}_{\mathrm{x}}$ is a constant for a chemical equilibrium in which T and P are kept constant while $\hbox {K}_{\mathrm{P}}$ is an equilibrium constant under more general conditions in which only T is constant. However, as demonstrated in this work, $\hbox {Q}_{\mathrm{x}}$ is in fact more important both theoretically and technically. The relationships between $\hbox {Q}_{\mathrm{x}}$ , $\hbox {Q}_\mathrm{P}$ , and $\hbox {Q}_{\mathrm{C}}$ are discussed. Four examples of applications are given in detail.     

The dissolution properties of N-guanylurea-dinitramide (FOX-12) in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)

The enthalpy of dissolution of FOX-12 in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) was measured by means of a RD496-III Calvet microcalorimeter at 298.15 K. Empirical formulae for the calculation of the enthalpy of dissolution ( $ \Updelta_{\text{diss}} H $ ), relative partial molar enthalpy ( $ \Updelta_{\text{diss}} H_{\text{partial}} $ ), and relative apparent molar enthalpy ( $ \Updelta_{\text{diss}} H_{\text{apparent}} $ ) were obtained from the experimental data of the enthalpies of dissolution of FOX-12 in DMSO. The kinetic equation that describes the dissolution process of FOX-12 in DMSO at 298.15 K is determined as $ \frac{{{\text{d}}\alpha }}{{{\text{d}}t}} = 8.5 \times 10^{ - 3} (1 - \alpha )^{0.59} $ .
