Alkaline properties

In solvents of this kind, compounds that are formed with F-donors possess alkaline properties, whereas compounds affiliated with F-acceptors take on acidic properties. For instance, MBrF4 (where M = alkali metal) is alkaline whereas BrF2NbF6 displays the property of an acid. A typical interaction that takes place during the synthesis can be represented as follows ... 

When solutions of an acid and an alkali are mixed in the correct proportions the resulting solution has no acidic or alkaline character, and on evaporation it gives a solid salt. This reaction is called neutralization because the product has neither acidic nor alkaline properties (Latin, neuter, neither). Neutralization is an example of the quantitative aspects of chemistry acid and alkali react to form a salt in fixed ratios which are not the same for different acids and bases. 

When an acid solution is mixed with an alkaline solution in the appropriate quantities, the two solutions are said to neutralize each other the hydrogen (H+) cations of the acid and the hydroxyl (OH-) anions of the base combine to form water molecules (HOH or H20), canceling the (acid or alkaline) properties of the other. The term neutralization is used to refer to this reaction because the acid and basic properties of the two solutions are neutralized and the solution is neutral, neither acid nor basic ... 

The deposition of contaminants in the surface usually causes an acceleration of the corrosion process however, there should not be excluded the possibility that a given contaminant could diminish corrosion rate, as it could be the case of ammonia and its influence on steel (due to its alkaline properties, it could induce the passivation of steel). 

Macquer stated that borax contains an Alkali like the basis of Sea-salt. This Alkali is not perfectly neutralized by the sedative salt [boric acid], which is also contained in Borax, for its alkaline properties are so perceptible as to have led some Chymists to think that Borax was only an Alkali of a particular kind (96). 

Indeed, in Antiquity, substances or waters with acid or alkaline properties such as vinegar, lime, or alkaline products (soda, alkaline ashes) were well known but there was no mention of hurts specifically due to these substances. It is mentioned that some waters, particularly these from alkaline springs are not drinkable, but nothing more. Actually, it will take more than a thousand years so that concentrated acids and bases could... 

As can be seen from the above, there is a big difference between presented data evolving not only from the applied method but also on the method of the sample preparation. The investigations of the alkali-acid character of the surface hydroxyl groups showed that some of them reveal acid and other alkaline properties depending on the reagent character, also on the different number of surface groups of oxide. 

Arrhenius acid-base theory - Arrhenius developed the theory of the electrolytic dissociation (1883-1887). According to him, an acid is a substance which delivers hydrogen ions to the solution. A base is a substance which delivers hydroxide ions to the solution. Accordingly, the neutralization reaction of an acid with a base is the formation of water and a salt. It is a so-called symmetrical definition because both, acids and bases must fulfill a constitutional criterion (presence of hydrogen or hydroxide) and a functional criterion (to deliver hydrogen ions or hydroxide ions). The theory could explain all of the known acids at that time and most of the bases, however, it could not explain the alkaline properties of substances like ammonia and it did not include the role of the solvent. -> Sorensen (1909) introduced the -> pH concept. 

Different ions in solution have different effects. Hydrogen ions, H+, are the cause of acidic properties and hydroxyl ions, OH, cause basic or alkaline properties. 

A positively charged particle emitted from the nucleus of some radioactive atoms. It is made up of two neutrons and two protons and no electrons. It is shown as the nucleus of a helium atom, 2He2+. An organic compound with similar alkaline properties to ammonia. General formula CnH2n + 1NH2, e.g. ethylamine, when 11 = 2, C2H5 NH2. 

Stationary phase is modified over time [162]. Another drawback is the risk of co-elution of arising ion pairs with neutral compounds [e.g., MMA(V) with arse-nic(V) acid], which occurs because it is not possible to employ gradient elution (the equilibration time is too long) [163]. In actual fact, none of the techniques presented above is universal in nature, and none of them allows the separation of even ten arsenic compounds with different acidic and alkaline properties. Consequently, it is necessary to use several techniques, particularly if the materials under analysis have a complex biological matrix. One example is the assay of carcinogenic arsenic(III) acid, which has been observed to co-elute with the following ... 

Crystalline alumina may exist in various forms the T-form is generally used in chromatography. Alumina strongly adsorbs water molecules, as depicted in Fig. 1. The two different hydroxyl groups show acidic or alkaline properties, resulting in amphoteric characteristics and ion exchange behavior of the alumina surface, as demonstrated in Fig. It has been further shown that the... 

The chemical nature of the surface of carbon black is crucial to its applications-related behavior and in the first instance is a function of the manufacturing process. In addition to physically adsorbed organic substances, chemically combined surface oxygen is present on the surface, which is formed upon pyrolysis in the presence of sufficient oxygen and accounts for the acidity of gas blacks. Furnace blacks produced in oxygen-poor conditions with feedstocks with low sulfur contents have an excess of basic metal oxides on their surfaces and have neutral to alkaline properties. The content of physically and chemically bonded species is known as the volatile content, since it can be removed by heating to 950°C in the absence of air. 

Hofinann in distilling isatine, chlorisatine, and bichlorisatine, obtained anilme, chloraniline and bichloraniline. He announced that these last, as I had foreseen, possessed the alkaline properties of anilme. 

Introduction of DPG alone will deoxidize the curing system due to its alkaline properties. The result is that structurization of the polymer will occur more quickly, violently, and at earlier stages, resulting in a sharp increase of interstruc-tural defects of the composite, and hence deterioration of its physical-mechanical properties. 

The primary and most immediate effect of ammonia exposure is bums to the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract. The topical damage caused by ammonia is probably due mainly to its alkaline properties. Its high water solubility allows it to dissolve in moisture on the mucous membranes, skin, and eyes, forming ammonium hydroxide, which causes liquefaction necrosis of the tissues (Jarudi and Golden 1973). Specifically, ammonium hydroxide causes saponification of cell membrane lipids, resulting in cell disruption and death. Additionally, it breaks down cell stmctural proteins, extracts water from the cells, and initiates an inflammatory response, which further damages the surrounding tissues (Amshel et al. 

Because of their metallic and alkaline properties, potassium and especially sodium are widely used in a variety of industrial processes both as metals and as compounds with various other elements. Lithium is rarely used, but does find application in lightweight alloys with magnesium. Rubidium and cesium are not commonly utilized industrially, except for some applications in electronics. Sodium and potassium are essential for life, sodium being the principal extracellular and potassium the major intracellular monovalent cations. The other alkali metals have no essential biological role, see ALSO Bunsen, Robert Cesium Davy, Humphry Francium Lithium Mendeleev, Dimitri Potassium Rubidium Sodium. 

In the mid-nineteenth century, the alkaline properties of lithium salts were widely used to treat various uric acid diatheses which included the many manifestation of brain gout including headache, epilepsy, mania and depression (Amdisen and Hildebrandt, 1988). During the 1950s, the... 

In a calcium carbonate aggressive water, dissolution of the locally precipitated CaCOs proceeds continuously into the cement based material. The alkaline properties of the cement are inadequate to neutralize the CaCOs-dissolving properties of the water. 

Kiln dusts (KD) - 64% of the cement kiln dusts (CKD) produced is reused within the cement plant - CKD is used as a stabilizing agent for wastes, where its absorptive capacity and alkaline properties can reduce the moisture content, increase the bearing capacity, and provide an alkaline environment for waste materials - At the present time, approximately 80% of the surplus CKD remaining after reuse in cement manufacturing is stockpiled or land filled - Most of the LKD generated in the United States is currently disposed of in stockpiles or landfills 88-98... 

Because of no acidic or alkaline properties of 3 at the relevant pH [32], the pH of the aqueous system has no influence on its physicochemical properties. Clothianidin (3) is stable to hydrolysis in the pH range 4—9, but photolysis contributes significantly to its degradation in the environment, resulting in an elevated mineralization rate. Its degradation in water/sediment systems was observed to be significantly faster (factor 2-3) under anaerobic conditions than in aerobic conditions. The water solubility (0.327 g at 20 °C), vapor pressure (1.3 x 10 " Pa at 25 °C) and volatility of 3 are relatively low compared with other neonicotinoids that have a N-nitroguanidine pharmacophore (Tables 29.2.1.7 and 29.2.1.8).
