For fuels it is quite usual to employ kilocalories per kilogram as a measure of calorific value while for foods the unit used is kilocalories per gram. This, however, is often abbreviated to Calories , so that a value for carbohydrates of 4-1 Calories per gram is 4100 calories per gram. 

The behavior of insoluble monolayers at the hydrocarbon-water interface has been studied to some extent. In general, a values for straight-chain acids and alcohols are greater at a given film pressure than if spread at the water-air interface. This is perhaps to be expected since the nonpolar phase should tend to reduce the cohesion between the hydrocarbon tails. See Ref. 91 for early reviews. Takenaka [92] has reported polarized resonance Raman spectra for an azo dye monolayer at the CCl4-water interface some conclusions as to orientation were possible. A mean-held theory based on Lennard-Jones potentials has been used to model an amphiphile at an oil-water interface one conclusion was that the depth of the interfacial region can be relatively large [93]. 

Notice in Table XVIII-1 a value for the self-diffusion of Ni on Ni(lll) measured using radioactive Ni. More gross processes can occur. Supported Ni crystallites (on alumina) may show spreading and wetting phenomena due to complex interactions with the substrate [146]. 

The transfonnation matrix L is obtained from a nonnal-mode analysis perfonned in internal coordmates [59, ]. Thus, as the evolution of the nonnal-mode coordinates versus time is evaluated from equation (A3.12.49), displacements in the internal coordinates and a value for q are found from equation (A3.12.50). The variation in q with time results from a superposition of the nonnal modes. At a particular time, the... 

A connnon approach has been to measure the equilibrium constant, K, for these reactions as a fiinction of temperature with the use of a variable temperature high pressure ion source (see section (Bl.7.2)1. The ion concentrations are approximated by their abundance in the mass spectrum, while the neutral concentrations are known from the sample mlet pressure. A van t Hoff plot of In K versus /T should yield a straight Ime with slope equal to the reaction enthalpy (figure B1.7.11). Combining the PA with a value for basicityG at one temperature yields a value for A.S for the half-reaction involving addition of a proton to a species. While quadnipoles have been tire instruments of choice for many of these studies, other mass spectrometers can act as suitable detectors [19, 20]. 

A drawback of the SCRF method is its use of a spherical cavity molecules are rarely exac spherical in shape. However, a spherical representation can be a reasonable first apprc mation to the shape of many molecules. It is also possible to use an ellipsoidal cavity t may be a more appropriate shape for some molecules. For both the spherical and ellipsoi cavities analytical expressions for the first and second derivatives of the energy can derived, so enabling geometry optimisations to be performed efficiently. For these cavil it is necessary to define their size. In the case of a spherical cavity a value for the rad can be calculated from the molecular volume ... 

Procedure. One approach to the problem is to select a value for a that is obviously too small and to increment it iteratively until the equation is satisfied. This is the method of program WIEN, where the initial value of x is taken as 1 (clearly, -E i < 1 as you can show with a hand calculator). 

We shall also investigate the OPTIONS prompt that was set to 0 in Computer Project 8-3. At the prompt OPTIONS , one has the choices 0, 1,2, or 3. Note the II format. Taking the choices in reverse order, 3 permits one to input a value for nuclear charge. This option will not be used here. 

Hoffmann introdueed the so-ealled extended Hiiekel method. He found that a value for K= 1.75 gave optimal results when using Slater-type orbitals as a basis (and for ealeulating the Sg,v)- The diagonal h elements are given, as in the eonventional Hiiekel method, in terms of valenee-state IP s and EA s. Cusaehs later proposed a variant of this parameterization of the off-diagonal elements ...

The equilibrium constants obtained using the metal-ion induced shift in the UV-vis absorption spectrum are in excellent agreement with the results of the Lineweaver-Burke analysis of the rate constants at different catalyst concentrations. For the copper(II)ion catalysed reaction of 2.4a with 2.5 the latter method gives a value for of 432 versus 425 using the spectroscopic method. 

A plot against Hammett s cr-constants of the logarithms of the rate constants for the solvolysis of a series of Mz-substituted dimethylphenylcarbinyl chlorides, in which compounds direct resonance interaction with the substituent is not possible, yielded a reasonably straight line and gave a value for the reaction constant (p) of — 4 54. Using this value of the reaction constant, and with the data for the rates of solvolysis, a new set of substituent parameters (cr+) was defined. The procedure described above for the definition of cr+, was adopted for... 

One of the factors responsible for the rather wide variation in a values for benzene is the presence of ji-clectrons in the molecule, which can cause its adsorption to acquire a specific character if the adsorbent is polar (Chapter 1, p. 11). On hydroxylated silica, for example, the heat of adsorption is much higher than on the dehydroxylated material - on the latter solid indeed the interaction is so weak that a Type HI isotherm results (Fig. 2.19). Unfortunately c-values are rarely quoted in the literature, but... 

It will be noted that this method avoids any necessity to assume a value for the molecular area of the adsorbate, and it is not even necessary that the... 

The t-values in this table are for a two-tailed test. For a one-tailed test, the a values for each column are half of the stated value, column for a one-tailed test is for the 95% confidence level, a = 0.05. For example, the first... 

In Equation 7.1, n+/n is the ratio of the number of positive ions to the number of neutrals evaporated at the same time from a hot surface at temperature T (K), where k is the Boltzmann constant and A is another constant (often taken to be 0.5 see below). By inserting a value for k and adjusting Equation 7.1 to common units (electronvolts) and putting A = 0.5, the simpler Equation 7.2 is obtained. 

Next, by trial and error, we try to find a value for y such that sinh" y matches one of the 17/17 fractions in Table 2.2, say 17/17 = 0.80. This is easily done using either tables of sinh functions or the equation given in Table 2.1. The following results show that it is possible to place y within a range and then narrow that range without much difficulty. Remember, it is the inverse sinh values we are examining ... 

Once a value for j3 has been obtained, we can calculate the value of (l/i37) sinh" 037) for a range of values. These fractions are tabulated in the second part of Table 2.2. We multiply by these fractions to obtain 17 values and multiply these by 7 to obtain o. Calculated values of 7 and are also tabulated and the latter are plotted in Fig. 2.5. 

A cross-linked polymer has a density of 0.94 g cm" at 25°C and a molecular weight between crosslinks of 28,000. The conformation of one bond in the middle of the molecule changes from trans to gauche, and the molecule opens up by 120°. In w-butane, the trans to gauche transformation requires about 3.3 kJ mol". Estimate a value for AH of stretching based on this model, and use the law of cosines to estimate the magnitude of the opening up that results. 

In summary, T j, gives a truer approximation to a valid equilibrium parameter, although it will be less than T owing to the finite dimensions of the crystal and the finite molecular weight of the polymer. We shall deal with these considerations in the next section. For now we assume that a value for T has been obtained and consider the simple thermodynamics of a phase transition. 

Use Eq. (4.14), the results in Fig. 4.5, and the data in Table 4.1 to estimate a value for 7 for polyethylene. Figure 4.10 shows the unit cell of polyethylene Fig. 4.10b shows the equivalent of two chains emerging from an area 0.740 by 0.493 nm. On the basis of the calculated value of 7 and the characteristics of the unit cell, estimate the free energy of the fold surface per mole of repeat units. 

This relationship is sketched in Fig. 4.7a, which emphasizes that P, must vary linearly with 6 and that P, ° must be available, at least by extrapolation. The heat of fusion is an example of a property of the crystalline phase that can be used this way. It could be difficult to show that the value of AH is constant per unit mass at all percentages of crystallinity and to obtain a value for AHj° for a crystal free from defects. Therefore, while conceptually simple, the actual utilization of Eq. (4.37) in precise work may not be easy. 

At first glance, the contents of Chap. 9 read like a catchall for unrelated topics. In it we examine the intrinsic viscosity of polymer solutions, the diffusion coefficient, the sedimentation coefficient, sedimentation equilibrium, and gel permeation chromatography. While all of these techniques can be related in one way or another to the molecular weight of the polymer, the more fundamental unifying principle which connects these topics is their common dependence on the spatial extension of the molecules. The radius of gyration is the parameter of interest in this context, and the intrinsic viscosity in particular can be interpreted to give a value for this important quantity. The experimental techniques discussed in Chap. 9 have been used extensively in the study of biopolymers. 

In both of these pieces of apparatus, isothermal operation and optimum membrane area are obtained. Good temperature control is essential not only to provide a value for T in the equations, but also because the capillary attached to a larger reservoir behaves like a thermometer, with the column height varying with temperature fluctuations. The contact area must be maximized to speed up an otherwise slow equilibration process. Various practical strategies for presetting the osmometer to an approximate n value have been developed, and these also accelerate the equilibration process. 

The above argument shows that complete overlap of coil domains is improbable for large n and hence gives plausibility to the excluded volume concept as applied to random coils. More importantly, however, it introduces the notion that coil interpenetration must be discussed in terms of probability. For hard spheres the probability of interpenetration is zero, but for random coils the boundaries of the domain are softer and the probability for interpenetration must be analyzed in more detail. One method for doing this will be discussed in the next section. Before turning to this, however, we note that the Flory-Huggins theory can also be used to yield a value for the second virial coefficient. 

A value for the molecular weight which is low by a factor z + 1 is obtained for salt-free solutions if the experimental results are analyzed as if the polymer were uncharged. 

This is only one of the contributions to the total volume rate of energy dissipation a second term which arises from explicit consideration of the individual spheres must also be taken into account. This second effect can be shown to equal 1.5 [Pg.588]

Rigid, unsolvated spheres. Stokes law, Eq. (9.5), provides a relationship between f and the radius of the particle. Since this structure is a reasonable model for some protein molecules, experimental D values can be interpreted, via f, to yield values of R for such systems. Note that this application can also yield a value for M, since M = N pj [(4/3)ttR ], where pj is the density of the unsolvated material. 

Figure 5.17 shows the rotational Raman spectrum of N2 obtained with 476.5 nm radiation from an argon ion laser. From this spectrum a very accurate value for Bq of 1.857 672 0.000 027 cm has been obtained from which a value for the bond length tq of 1.099 985 0.000 010 A results. Such accuracy is typical of high-resolution rotational Raman spectroscopy.
