And Then What Happened

For a protein separation, chloride and glycine are placed in the spacer gel and sample in the gel above it. How does the sample get between the chloride and the glycine and then what happens to it ... 

The second point is that there is a secondary time dependence built into a lot of kinetic pathways. This leads to the very useful concept of the rate-determining step (RDS) in which the slowest step in a complicated sequence of many steps controls the overall rate of a sequence. Although we have only shown a few detailed examples in Chapter 7, the good news is that we usually only need to examine the kinetics of the slowest time-bottleneck in a complicated sequence and then that step can usually be treated with a first or second order analysis. In the case considered above, nothing happens until the carbocation is formed and then what happens later is fast so the Eyring transition-state analysis is appropriate to the overall rate. 

Now then, there are some chemists that rely on bisulfite as a tool to physically separate all of their ketone from an oil mix. But some chemists, using some methods, are rightfully sure enough that their ketones were produced in such high yields, and so cleanly, that separation isn t necessary at all. But even they, like anyone else, would still like to know for sure that what they made was P2P. This bisulfite procedure works in this regard as well. If one wants to know if what they made is P2P all one has to do is just drop a mL or so into the saturated bisulfite solution and see what happens. If crystals form, one has ketone. If not, one has fucked up. 

Example 3.9 Solve Equation (3.46) for the case of a first-order reaction where p, q and otrans are constant. Then take limits as 0 and see what happens. Also take the limit as 0. 

So we are still left with two models of the stereochemistry of DNA alkylated by a PAH diol epoxide the PAH either lies in a groove of DNA or else tries to intercalate between the bass of DNA. Since it is covalently bonded to a base it must cause considerable distortion if it tries to lie between the bases. However, the stacking observed in the crystalline state seems to argue for partial intercalation. We will need crystal structures of at least one appropriately alkylated polynucleotide before this problem can be resolved. And when this is done it will be just the beginning of the answer to the problem of alkylation of DNA by activated carcinogens. The subsequent question is, what is the lesion in DNA that is important in carcinogenesis, and then what does it cause to happen so that tumor formation is initiated ... 

If Y depends on the ionic strength, and the ionic strength depends on the number of ions in solution, then what happens if the analyte is present in low concentration but the solvent is itself an ionic solution ... 

The electrolysis of water can be seen by taking a 9 V battery and placing it in enough distilled water to cover the entire battery. Make sure the electrodes are several centimeters below the water s surface. After placing the battery in the distilled water, note any evidence of a reaction. There are not enough free ions in distilled water to conduct electricity and no evidence of a reaction should be observed. Now add a teaspoon of vinegar to the water and note what happens at the battery terminals. Bubbles form around the terminals and then a steady stream of tiny bubbles emerge from both terminals of the cell. 

Put 10 g of powdered sugar into a 50-ml beaker, wet it with water until a thick paste forms, and then add 3-5 ml of concentrated sulphuric acid. Rapidly stir the contents with a glass rod and see what happens. What gaseous substances are obtained ... 

Sample size is based on expected IV (Table D 1.4.1). If unsure try 1.000 g and see what happens, then adjust to get repeatable titration data. 

If the rate of elimination decreases in Scheme 7.2, then what happens to clearance Clearance is unchanged. For each 4.0-second pass, the liver clears 50 mL (CLh = 12.5 mL/s) out of the total 100 mL of blood that flows through the organ. Literally, 50% of the blood volume is cleared, so the actual impact is a decrease in Cp by 50%. While clearance is constant, the effect of clearance on Cp varies with Cp. Clearance depends on the action of metabolic enzymes on the drug and, at very high drug concentrations, the enzymes can become saturated with substrate. Under these conditions, which are rare, clearance is not constant. Therapeutic concentrations of modem drugs are normally well below the concentrations required to saturate liver enzymes. The tubular secretion and reabsorption processes in the kidneys can also be saturated and affect renal clearance. As with hepatic clearance, variable renal clearance is rare. 

It was fun, and it was exciting, and it was scary. And the bad trips began— and the scary things. But then what happened that really disturbed me a lot was that we got quite cliquey—which had never happened before. 

First, we would keep the concentration of NaSMe constant and vary that of Mel and see what happened to the late. Then we would keep the coscentration of Mel constant and vary that of MeSNa and see what happened to the rate. If the reaction is indeed S>j2 we should get a linear relationship in both cases. 

Follow this procedure Let the glasses of water stand until the water appears to be perfectly still and motionless. Drop the crystal of potassium permanganate into one, the crystal of salt in the next, and a drop of India ink into the third. Do not stir, touch or move the water in the glasses. Watch them for several minutes and notice what happens. Allow them to stand overnight, and then check the appearance of the three solutions. Using a glass rod, taste a drop of the sodium chloride solution in the second glass. 

Show that if there exist a scalar function G(r) such that V x (GR) - 0 then the relation dL - R(r) dr is holonomic. (This may be most readily accomplished by examining R V x (GR) and noting what happens when this quantity is forced to vanish with R, G 0.)... 

Here, we mention only two possibilities, though we could have other cases. The hrst is that the condition of normal hyperbolicity breaks down for some NHIMs. Then, what happens to those NHIMs Do they bifurcate into other NHIMs, or do they disappear at all The second possibility is that intersections between the stable and unstable manifolds of NHIMs change into tangency. This could lead to bifurcation in the way NHIMs are connected by their stable and unstable manifolds. 

He then took Schrodinger s ideas to the next step. If electrons acted like waves, then what happened when two atoms joined together Did the waves combine completely and now surround both of the nuclei Or did the waves simply overlap a little Pauling spent many nights in Munich working on this question, trying to tame Schrodinger s formidable equations and make them work to explain the bonds between atoms. 

If you aren t sure, try these ideas and practices and see what happens. If they help you to take care of yourself and your loved ones satisfactorily and behave decently toward others with at least ordinary levels of success (without necessarily accepting the ordinary reasons for doing so), then they are worth pursuing. If the level of your consensus trance begins to lighten, so much the better. 

Problem 21.7 Suppose, as an alternative to the carbanion mechanism, that hydrogen exchange and racemization were both to arise by some kind of direct displacement of one hydrogen (H) by another (D) with inversion of configuration. What relationship would you then expect between the rates of racemization and exchange (Hint Take one molecule at a time, and see what happens when H is replaced by D with inversion.)... 

For Exercise 14, think of a suitable location in which to place your main character, whom I ll call X but you call by name, and write a brief paragraph describing it. When you have done this, let X walk, run, or leap into the frame and see what happens. At any point after that, let another character— possibly, but not necessarily, Y—come onscreen, and see what happens then. Stop at 10 minutes, unless you find yourself writing a scene that you might be able to use in your screenplay, in which case, continue.
