As already stated, speciation is the characteristic distribution of various ionic and/or neutral species in an aqueous solution. Speciation calculation, allowing practical estimation of the reactive properties of an aqueous solution, acidity, redox state, the degree of saturation of the various solids, and so on, is carried out on a thermodynamic basis starting from the chemical composition of the solution of interest and using the reaction constants of the various equilibria of the type seen in equation 8.19.

In comparison to bulk plastics, thermoplastic polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) is much more expensive. Its particular characteristics are clarity, hardness, low absorbance and resistance to aqueous solutions, acids, alkalis, carbon dioxide and fat. It is attacked or dissolved by polar organic solvents. The world-wide use of PMMA in 1997 was ca. 1.2 x 106 t, principaly for optical articles in cars and buildings and glazing material in aircraft. Typical food contact articles are dishes, cups and silverware. In addition it has orthopedic and denture uses. 

Guanidine, if purchased as the hydrochloride salt, renders the aqueous solution acidic, and the guanidine is sparingly soluble. Therefore, the guanidinium/HCl is weighed out to attain the required molarity and the appropriate amount of solid Trizmabase added. Dissolution is very rapid, and the pH is subsequently adjusted with HC1. 

We may define the acidity of a medium as its tendency to donate a proton to a base. In dilute aqueous solutions acidity is measured precisely and quantitatively by the pH but in concentrated aqueous solutions or in non-aqueous systems the concept of pH is not applicable and no alternative precise and quantitative measure of addity is generally... 

In aqueous solution acids or bases in the old sense are compounds or ions which are stronger acids or stronger bases than water. In other solvents, such as liquid ammonia or acetic acid, the division is quite different. In the former case the NH2 ion plays the part of the OH - ion in aqueous solutions. 

As we noted in Chapter 5, release of protons (H ) by an acid in a dissociation reaction makes the aqueous solution acidic. Often, such reactions may also involve electrons (e ). For example, dissolution of a metal such as iron is accompanied by release of electrons in the solution. The reaction is given by... 

The acidic and basic properties of aqueous solutions are changed within the pH range from 0 to 14, while for solid acids and bases, they can be changed within the range -30 < Ho, H. < +40. A boundary point between Ho and H. is Ho = 7. One can see that these limits are much broader than in the case of aqueous solutions. Acids with Hq value within 7 + -12 correspond to usual acids, while above -12, they are superacids. Similarly, the bases with H. from 7 to 26 correspond to usual bases while above 26 they are superbases. The concept of superacids and superbases is widely used to explain the processes that take place in acid-base catalysis [21]. 

The equilibria existing in solutions of periodic acid and its salts have been investigated, with the conclusion that, of the possible hydrates of I(VII) oxide, only paraperiodic acid, HjIOs, exists as a solid in equilibrium with its aqueous solutions. Acidic periodate solutions contain chiefly the two species 104" and HjIOe, the proportion of HsIOg increasing with decreasing pH.

Ions in solution Why are some aqueous solutions acidic, others basic, and still others neutral Neutral solutions are neither acidic nor basic. Scientists have learned that all water (aqueous) solutions contain hydrogen ions (H+)... 

Although oxoacids and hydroxides are Arrhenius acids and bases (they release or OYi (aq) into aqueous solution), acid and base anhydrides do not fall into this classification because they contain neither nor OH. Acid anhydrides are acids in the Lewis sense, (they accept electron pairs), and base anhydrides are bases in the Lewis sense, (their ions donate electron pairs). The reaction between an acid anhydride and a base anhydride is then a Lewis acid-base reaction. An example of such a reaction is...

Frequently we need more oxygen or hydrogen to complete the mass balance for a reaction or half-reaction in aqueous solution. We must be careful, however, not to introduce other changes in oxidation number or to use species that could not actually be present in the solution. We cannot add H2 or O2 to equations because these species are not present in aqueous solutions. Acidic solutions do not contain significant concentrations of OH ions. Basic solutions do not contain significant concentrations of H+ ions.

The concept that a catalyst provides an alternate mechanism for accomplishing a reaction, and that this alternate path is a more rapid one, has been developed in many individual cases. The basis of this idea is that the catalyst and one or more of the reactants form an intermediate complex, a loosely bound compound which is unstable, and that this complex then takes part in subsequent reactions which result in the final products and. the regenerated catalyst. Homogeneous catalysis can frequently be explained in terms of this concept. For example, consider catalysis by acids and bases.. In aqueous solutions acids and bases can increase the rate of hydrolysis of sugars, starches, and esters. The kinetics of the hydrolysis of ethyl acetate catalyzed by hydrochloric acid can be explained by the following mechanism ... 

H30 is the strongest acid that can exist in aqueous solution. Acids stronger than H30 react with water to produce H30 and their conjugate bases. Thus HCl, which is a stronger acid than H30, reacts with water completely to form H30 and Cl ... 

Tn the past few years considerable interest has developed in the struc- ture of water in electrolytic solutions (25). This renewed interest is the result of a number of extensive experimental investigations and the realization that many otherwise unexplainable observations can be accounted for if water is considered as a structured medium rather than as a continuum. This paper will consist of a review of some of the more recent advances that have been made in elucidating the factors determining the properties of electrolytes in aqueous solution. Transport properties will be dealt with almost exclusively since the author s main interests lie in that direction. Owing to the unique mechanism of proton conduction in aqueous solution, acids and bases will not be considered and the discussion will be limited exclusively to salt solutions.
