Apparent temperature, definition

Molybdenum chloride and dry ammonia react at a fairly low temperature with formation of ammonium chloride and a grey substance which, after extraction with water to remove ammonium and molybdenum chlorides, and warming in air, is spontaneously inflammable. The composition, however, of such a substance, or of that obtained by sublimation of molybdenum chloride with ammonium chloride, is apparently not definitely known. ... 

These concepts have been applied by Ben-Shaul et al., 1972a, b to analysis of product energy distributions and to the definition of apparent temperatures for non-equilibrium product distributions. Their procedure may be illustrated with a treatment of vibrational distribution of products, as measured in infrared chemiluminescence studies. The quantities measurable in this case are and v. It is convenient to introduce fractional energies fx = EJE, where fT + fv + fR = 1. The probabilities actually determined are conditional probabilities P(/v ) for fixed . The surprisal is... 

The term electrochromism was apparently coined to describe absorption line shifts induced in dyes by strong electric fields (1). This definition of electrocbromism does not, however, fit within the modem sense of the word. Electrochromism is a reversible and visible change in transmittance and/or reflectance that is associated with an electrochemicaHy induced oxidation—reduction reaction. This optical change is effected by a small electric current at low d-c potential. The potential is usually on the order of 1 V, and the electrochromic material sometimes exhibits good open-circuit memory. Unlike the well-known electrolytic coloration in alkaU haUde crystals, the electrochromic optical density change is often appreciable at ordinary temperatures. 

An absolutely scientific definition of the term essential cr volatile oils is hardly possible, but for all practical purposes they may be defined as odoriferous bodies of an oily nature obtained almost exclusively from vegetable sources, generally liquid (sometimes semi-solid or solid) at ordinary temperatures, and volatile without decomposition. This definition must be accepted within the ordinary limitations which are laid down by the common acceptation of the words, which will make themselves apparent in the sequel, and show that no more restricted definition is either advantageous or possible. Many essential oils, for example, are partially decomposed when distilled by themselves, and some even when steam distilled. 

Many solid substances (camphor, iodine, naphthalene, etc.), are known which are appreciably volatile at ordinary temperatures. Others, such as the metals, are apparently quite fixed, but they probably possess a definite, although very small vapour-pressure, even at ordinary temperatures. Thus, if magnesium is heated to 550° for a few hours in a magnesia boat enclosed in a vacuous tube it sublimes in beautiful crystals on the cool part of the tube. The vaporisation of a solid without previous fusion is called sublimation the vapour-pressure (like the vapour-pressure of a liquid), is definite for each temperature, is independent of i the volume of the vapour space, and increases with rise of temperature. 

Thus, two interpretations based on two different concepts of the effect of temperature on dipole orientation have been put forward. The two views clash with each other on physical as well as chemical grounds. However, the view based on the correlation of Fig. 25 introduces chemical concepts that are absent in the other, which ignores some definite facts. For instance, although a value for dEa=0/dT is not available for Ga, the temperature coefficient of C is apparently small.905 Ga is universally recognized as a strongly hydrophilic metal. Therefore, according to the simple model of up-and-down dipoles, the effect of temperature should be major, which is in fact not the case. 

There is an apparent anomaly in that it also states that the preferred combination of temperature and time is a minimum of 121 °C maintained for 15 minutes, which, by definition, equates to an Fq value of 15. The latter, however, is applicable where the material to be sterilized may contain relatively large numbers of thermophilic bacterial spores, and an Fq of 8 is appropriate for a microbiologically validated process where the bioburden is low and the spores likely to be present are those of (the generally more heat sensitive) mesophilic species. 

In 1835 Berzelius coined the term catalysis to describe the influence of certain substances on the nature of diverse reactions, the substances themselves apparently being unchanged by the reaction. He imbued these materials with a catalytic force capable of awakening the potential for chemical reaction between species that would normally be nonreactive at a given temperature. In more modern terms the following definition is appropriate. 

Special care has to be taken if the polymer is only soluble in a solvent mixture or if a certain property, e.g., a definite value of the second virial coefficient, needs to be adjusted by adding another solvent. In this case the analysis is complicated due to the different refractive indices of the solvent components [32]. In case of a binary solvent mixture we find, that formally Equation (42) is still valid. The refractive index increment needs to be replaced by an increment accounting for a complex formation of the polymer and the solvent mixture, when one of the solvents adsorbs preferentially on the polymer. Instead of measuring the true molar mass Mw the apparent molar mass Mapp is measured. How large the difference is depends on the difference between the refractive index increments ([dn/dc) — (dn/dc)A>0. (dn/dc)fl is the increment determined in the mixed solvents in osmotic equilibrium, while (dn/dc)A0 is determined for infinite dilution of the polymer in solvent A. For clarity we omitted the fixed parameters such as temperature, T, and pressure, p. 

The glass transition temperature is generally measured- by experiments that correspond to a time scale of seconds or minutes. If the experiments are done more rapidly, so that the time scale is shortened, the apparent Tg value is raised. If the time scale is lengthened to hours or days, the apparent Tg value is lowered. Thus, as generally measured, Tg is not a hue constant but shifts with the time scale of the experiment or observation. Moreover, Tg is masked by experimental difficulties, compounded by multiple and often inaccurate definitions of Tg in the literature. The least... 

As a result of the small, but apparent single bond character of the triafulvene C3/C4 bond and the good stabilization of the transition state of the rotation established earlier, rotation around this bond should be lower in energy in comparison to simple ethylene derivatives183. In fact, 1H-NMR spectra of several types of asymmetrically substituted triafulvenes 219-224 proved to be temperature-dependent and showed reversible coalescence phenomena at definite temperatures diagnostic for internal rotation processes. These were characterized by the free enthalpy of activation AG at the coalescence point of appropriate substituent signals61. ... 

Each of these dissociation reactions also specifies a definite equilibrium concentration of each product at a given temperature consequently, the reactions are written as equilibrium reactions. In the calculation of the heat of reaction of low-temperature combustion experiments the products could be specified from the chemical stoichiometry but with dissociation, the specification of the product concentrations becomes much more complex and the s in the flame temperature equation [Eq. (1.11)] are as unknown as the flame temperature itself. In order to solve the equation for the n s and T2, it is apparent that one needs more than mass balance equations. The necessary equations are found in the equilibrium relationships that exist among the product composition in the equilibrium system. 

The p/<, of a base is actually that of its conjugate acid. As the numeric value of the dissociation constant increases (i.e., pKa decreases), the acid strength increases. Conversely, as the acid dissociation constant of a base (that of its conjugate acid) increases, the strength of the base decreases. For a more accurate definition of dissociation constants, each concentration term must be replaced by thermodynamic activity. In dilute solutions, concentration of each species is taken to be equal to activity. Activity-based dissociation constants are true equilibrium constants and depend only on temperature. Dissociation constants measured by spectroscopy are concentration dissociation constants." Most piCa values in the pharmaceutical literature are measured by ignoring activity effects and therefore are actually concentration dissociation constants or apparent dissociation constants. It is customary to report dissociation constant values at 25°C. 

Hollabaugh and Chessick (301) concluded from adsorption studies with water, m-propanol, and w-butyl chloride that the surface of rutile is covered with hydroxyl groups. After evacuation at 450°, a definite chemisorption of water vapor was observed as well as of n-propanol. The adsorption of -butyl chloride was very little influenced by the outgassing temperature of the rutile sample (90 and 450°). A type I adsorption isotherm was observed after outgassing at 450°. Apparently surface esters had formed, forming a hydrocarbonlike surface. No further vapor was physically adsorbed up to high relative pressures. 

A definite theoretical explanation of this behavior is not available. It is important to realize that the preference of a metal for 3C as opposed to 2C complexes or for 5C as opposed to 3C complexes may be either intrinsic or induced by adsorption of less reactive carbonaceous fragments and carbon (for simplicity, we shall refer to both of these as carbon ) on the metal (alloy) surface. Also, the choice of the reaction conditions (apparent contact time, poisoning or self-poisoning of the catalyst, etc.) influences the temperature range in which the catalysts can be tested, and since the selectivity in various complex formations is also temperature dependent, one must always analyze which aspects of the product distributions are intrinsic properties of a metal and which are induced by often unavoidable side reactions. 

In the Trauzl test, the mixture produced an expansion of 24 cc./gram, which is indicative of a high energy reaction. Card gap tests were also positive the value at room temperature is approximately 25 cards. From these results it was concluded that a mixture of methylene chloride with nitrogen tetroxide constitutes a definite explosive hazard. This conclusion was not immediately apparent as a result of compatibility and impact testing alone. Methylene chloride was not recommended as a solvent for cleaning N2O4 systems instead, a water flush is used for this operation. 

Discovery by Bengen (7) that urea forms addition compounds with the aliphatic straight-chain hydrocarbons has opened new possibilities for the removal and separation from petroleum of such materials as waxes which are preponderantly nonbranched. Urea-wax addition compounds are apparently formed readily at ordinary room temperatures, and as these compounds have very definitely defined crystal structure (75), their separation should be easily accomplished. 

At low temperature, 1,7-naphthyridine is converted to a mixture of adducts 50 and 52 the formation of the formerly proposed 51 was definitely ruled out. Positions 2 and 8 have the lowest electron densities. However, on warming the reaction mixture to 10°C, only 52 is detected as the apparently more stable adduct. When the solution of 50 and 52 in NH2"-NH3 was treated with potassium permanganate not only were the 2-amino- and 8-amino-1,7-naphthyridines formed but also the 4-amino isomer, indicating the possible intermediacy of the undetected 4-ff-adduct.
