Chloride distribution coefficient on strongly basic anion-exchange resin: Dependence on co-ion in alkali fluoride solutions

Summary The dependence of the chloride distribution coefficient on the co-ion of solutions of different alkali fluorides, MF, up to 11M is tested on the strongly basic anion-exchange resin AG1-X10. Under the same experimental conditions the distribution coefficient decreases in the following order for M⁺: Na⁺>K⁺>Rb⁺>Cs⁺. This can be explained by the different co-ion-chloride interactions. The consequence of this interaction for a chromatographic separation of chloride is shown with 5M KF and CsF solutions, used as eluants. Depending on the fluoride concentration, the distribution coefficient passes through a minimum value to increase again at higher electrolyte concentration. The non-exchange electrolyte in the resin phase is responsible for this effect. In addition, the bromide and the iodide distribution coefficients up to 10M KF solutions are determined. One results is that the selectivity coefficient between halide ions increases at higher electrolyte concentrations.     

The second virial coefficient of 3-centerLennard-Jones molecules and its relation to 1- and 2- center molecules

The second virial coefficients of homonuclear three-centerLennard-Jones molecules are calculated with various parameters of the isosceles triangle connecting the three sites. A special effort is made to establish the reducedBoyle temperaturesT _B and the values of the second virial coefficients atT/T _B=0.3 for the sake of comparison with one- and two-centerLennard-Jones molecules. It is shown that it is possible to find parameter values of the interaction potential of one- and two-centerLennard-Jones molecules which give very similar values of second virial coefficients forT/T _B0.3, and the equivalence conditions are established. These conditions might not only give a basis for a microscopic scaling of state variables, but also some restrictions for the validity of the group contribution concept.Presented in part at the DFG-Colloquium at Paderborn, 19th April 1982, and at the 5th Conference on Mixtures of Nonelectrolytes and Intermolecular Interactions, April 18–22, 1983, at Halle (GDR).     

Dissociation constants of the ampholyte glycine in 50 mass % methanol-water from 5 to 55°C,with related thermodynamic quantities

The two thermodynamic dissociation constants of glycine at 11 temperatures from 5 to 55°C in 50 mass % methanol-water mixed solvent have been determined from precise emf measurements with hydrogen-silver bromide electrodes in cells without liquid junction. The first acidic dissociation constant (K ₁)for the process HG⁺H⁺+G^± is expressed as a function ofT(^oK) by the equation pK ₁ = 2043.5/T – 9.6504 + 0.019308T. At 25°C, pK ₁is 2.961 in the mixed solvent, as compared with 2.350 in water, with H°=1497 cal-mole^–1, G°=4038 cal-mole^–1, S°=–8.52 cal-°K^–1-mole^–1, and C _p ^o =–53 cal-°K^–1-mole^–1. The second acidic dissociation constant (K ₂)for the process G^±H⁺+G^– over the temperature range studied is given by the equation pK ₂ = 3627.1/T – 7.2371 + 0.015587T. At 25°C, pK ₂is 9.578 in MeOH–H₂O as compared with 9.780 in water, whereas H° is 10,257 cal-mole^–1, G° is 13,063 cal-mole^–1, S° is –9.41 cal-°K^–1-mole^–1, and C _p ^o is –43 cal-°K^–1-mole^–1. The protonated glycine becomes weaker in 50 mass % methanol-water, whereas the second dissociation process becomes stronger despite the lower dielectric constant of the mixed solvent (=56.3 at 25°C).

Surfactant in the gaseous phase II. Influence on stability of foams and thin liquid films

The influence of the vapors ofn-amyl orn-decyl alcohol on the stability of single thin liquid films, single bubbles, and foam columns was determined. It was found that the presence of surfactant vapors lowered the stability of foams and single foam films. The mechanism of the destabilizing action of the surfactant vapors on wet, dynamic foams under dynamic conditions is discussed. It is shown that the destabilizing action of the surfactant vapors is a further indication that surface elasticity forces are the main factor determining stability of wet, dynamic foams.     

Curing of a maleimide model compound

A monofunctional maleimide-ended model compound was synthesized and purified. The thermal curing of this compound was followed by size exclusion chromatography and the molecular masses of the oligomers formed during the curing reaction were determined by mass spectroscopy. It was found that high molecular mass species were not thermally stable. At high temperature and after enough time, a strong decrease in the polydispersity of the oligomers and a significantly preferential formation of trimer were observed. From ¹³C-NMR characterization, a five membered ring structure was found for the trimer, which explains the thermal stability of this species. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Stability theorems for infinitely constrained mathematical programs

The primary concern of this paper is to investigate stability conditions for the mathematical program: findx E ⁿ that maximizesf(x):g ^j(x)0 for somej J, wheref is a real scalarvalued function and eachg is a real vector-valued function of possibly infinite dimension. It should be noted that we allow, possibly infinitely many, disjunctive forms. In an earlier work, Evans and Gould established stability theorems wheng is a continuous finite-dimensional real-vector function andJ=1. It is pointed out that the results of this paper reduce to the Evans-Gould results under their assumptions. Furthermore, since we use a slightly more general definition of lower and upper semicontinuous point-to-set mappings, we can dispense with the continuity ofg (except in a few instances where it is implied by convexity assumptions).
