The little book, Differential Equations in Applied Chemistry (Fig. 6), has been unsung for years, though all through an era when few engineers truly understood calculus it showed off powerful mathematical tools, among them (in the 1936 second edition) numerical solution methods. It connected with chemist J. W. Mellor s 1902 Higher Mathematics for Students of Chemistry...

The names of the examples of textile-relevant enzymes follow the nomenclature of Duclaux from 1898, characterising an enzyme by the end-syllable ase , added to the name of the snbstrate that is split, synthesised or otherwise catalysed. As with all catalysts, enzymes reduce the activation energy of a specific reaction. The discovery of large qnantities of new enzyme systems afforded a more differentiated nomenclatnre, realised in 1964 by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (lUPAC) and the International Union for Biochemistry (lUB). In the new enzyme classification (EC) the first nnmber refers to one of the six main gronps and the following numbers to subgroups, for example EC 3.4.S.6, where 3 stands for hydrolases. ... 

At the end of the chemistry course the students are familiar with the fundamentals of chemical bonding, can differentiate between atomic bonds including polarised atomic bonds, ionic bonds and metallic bonds. They can relate the kind of bond to the property of the substance and are familiar with the structure and phenomenon of substances. They can also workout relationship between the structure and the reaction of organic substances. Chemistry imparts basic knowledge about major industries. Students also acquire knowledge about application of chemical science in other branches of production and spheres of life as well as about the inter-relationship between chemical industry and other industries. In the process they also realise the need of applying chemistry to well being of mankind. 

Note The lUPAC Recommendations 1993 for tiu Nomendatwe for Chromatography (3), which are active at the time of this writing, are proli -ating this confusion in Section 3.6.0S.1, Mobile-Phase Velocity. There is a need for a differentiation between different linear velocities, llierefote we are forced to depart from the lUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry)-recommended nomenclature.]... 

We have just seen that the three C5H12 isomers all incorporate pentane in their names and are differentiated by the prefixes n- iso , and neo. Extending this approach to alkanes beyond C5H12 fails because we run out of descriptive prefixes before all the isomers have unique names. As difficult as it would be to invent different names for the 18 constitutional isomers of CgHjg, for example, it would be even harder to remember which structure corresponded to which name. For this and other reasons, organic chemists have developed systematic ways to name compounds based on their structure. The most widely used approach is called the lUPAC rules lUPAC stands for the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry. (See the boxed essay. What s in a Name Organic Nomenclature,)... 

Q is the heat energy needed for the system supplied from the surroundings. W is the work done on the system. When the work is done by the system, then a negative sign should precede the work contribution, Eqnation (B.12) At/ is the internal energy change of the system. The sign convention used in Eqnation (B.12) is from the recommendations of lUPAC (the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry). In differential form, Equation (B.12) may be written as... 

The large number of organic compounds requires a systematic method of nomenclature that can differentiate between subtle structural features. We will use the nomenclature system recommended by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (lUPAC), which has become standard. 

In applying quantum mechanics to real chemical problems, one is usually faced with a Schrodinger differential equation for which, to date, no one has found an analytical solution. This is equally true for electronic and nuclear-motion problems. It has therefore proven essential to develop and efficiently implement mathematical methods which can provide approximate solutions to such eigenvalue equations. Two methods are widely used in this context- the variational method and perturbation theory. These tools, whose use permeates virtually all areas of theoretical chemistry, are briefly outlined here, and the details of perturbation theory are amplified in Appendix D. 

In principle, mass spectrometry is not suitable to differentiate enantiomers. However, mass spectrometry is able to distinguish between diastereomers and has been applied to stereochemical problems in different areas of chemistry. In the field of chiral cluster chemistry, mass spectrometry, sometimes in combination with chiral chromatography, has been extensively applied to studies of proton- and metal-bound clusters, self-recognition processes, cyclodextrin and crown ethers inclusion complexes, carbohydrate complexes, and others. Several excellent reviews on this topic are nowadays available. A survey of the most relevant examples will be given in this section. Most of the studies was based on ion abundance analysis, often coupled with MIKE and CID ion fragmentation on MS " and FT-ICR mass spectrometric instruments, using Cl, MALDI, FAB, and ESI, and atmospheric pressure ionization (API) methods.
