Acidity, definition

Pyrophosphoric (diphosphoric) acid, H4P2O2, is the only condensed phosphoric acid definitely obtainable ia crystalline form. It has a theoretical P2O5 content of 79.8%. However, Hquid polyphosphoric acid of such content shows by analysis only 42.5% the remainder is phosphoric acid and...

In radiation protection studies, it was found that orotic acid does not offer a protective effect in mice against the whole-body X-irradiation of 700 y or 550 7 [189]. On the other hand, orotic acid, alone or with folic acid, definitely increased the survival rate of irradiated rats and guinea-pigs by 20—30 per cent, while hemopoiesis was not affected [190]. 

This section will use gas-phase thermochemical data from Appendices 6 for molecules and 7 for radicals. These data include ionization energy (IE), electron affinity (EA), proton affinity (PA), gas-phase basicity (GB) and gas-phase acidity. Definitions of these parameters are given in Table 1.5. Some values of gas-phase basicities are given in Table 1.6. 

Similarly to the reaction with cobalt, the acetaldehyde intermediate formed will be further hydrogenated to ethanol. Overall, the Rh-catalized homologation mechanism resembles the Monsanto process with the exception that, as a result of the presence of hydrogen, acetaldehyde is now the main product and acetic acid definitely the only by-product. Some key catalyst components present at the end of the homologation reaction, such as Rh(diphosphine)COMe)l2 and [Ru(CO)l3 " have been isolated and identified by Moloy et al. [49]. It may be assumed that the Ru complex is responsible for the intermediate in-situ hydrogenation to the high ethanol selectivity obtained. 

Some scarey stuff about people being blinded from PMA has come about, but claims have not been adequately substantiated, because in other places this is just not happening from this chemical. Analysis labs have been turning up DMA and MDM, for example, sold as MDA, and in some cases sold as Mescaline, or acid. Definitely needs more study. .. about all we have at the moment is pure speculation.
