Chemical reactions aqueous solutions

Most chemical reactions that occur on the earth s surface, whether in living organisms or among inorganic substances, take place in aqueous solution. Chemical reactions carried out between substances in solution obey the requirements of stoichiometry discussed in Chapter 2, in the sense that the conservation laws embodied in balanced chemical equations are always in force. But here we must apply these requirements in a slightly different way. Instead of a conversion between masses and number of moles, using the molar mass as a conversion factor, the conversion is now between solution volumes and number of moles, with the concentration as the conversion factor. 

Chemical Properties. Potassium cyanide is readily oxidized to potassium cyanate [590-28-3] by heating in the presence of oxygen or easily reduced oxides, such as those of lead or tin or manganese dioxide, and in aqueous solution by reaction with hypochlorites or hydrogen peroxide.

Oliveira and colleagues7 found intermediate compounds with 2 to 5 carbons during the degradation of formaldehyde (with 12% methanol) as the sole carbon source and attribute this to a chemical reaction as formaldehyde can form polymers in aqueous solution. The reactions are rapid in the absence of methanol, which is added to formaldehyde solutions to prevent such polymerization. In aqueous solution, when methanol is consumed, formaldehyde is almost completely hydrated to...

Many experimental studies of the rates of oxidation of S(IV) in solution have used either bulk solutions or droplets that are very large compared to those found in the atmosphere. In addition, reactant concentrations in excess of atmospheric levels have often been used for analytical convenience. The use of large droplets increases the diffusion times, whereas higher reactant concentrations speed up the aqueous-phase chemical reaction rates. The combination of these two factors can lead to a situation where the rates of the diffusion processes, either of the gas to the droplet surface or more likely within the aqueous phase itself, become comparable to, or slower than, the chemical reaction rate. If this is not recognized, the observed rates may be attributed in error to the intrinsic chemical reaction rate. 

Fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry has been utilized for the quantitative determination of ionic species, in glycerol/water solutions, which are produced by chemical and enzymic reactions. It is shown that reaction constants can be determined in this manner and that they can be accurately related to those determined by other methods used in the analysis of aqueous solutions. The reactions studied include proton dissociation constants for organic acids, an enzyme equilibrium constant, and enzyme rate constants using natural substrates. 

Among the nine chemical reactions that occur in the aqueous solution, chemical equilibrium is only attained for six of the reactions. The... 

Glycolysis involves 10 biochemical reactions and 16 reactants. Water is not counted as a reactant in writing the stoichiometric number matrix or the conservation matrix for reasons described in Section 6.3. Thus there are six components because C = N — R = 16 — 10 = 6. From a chemical standpoint this is a surprise because the reactants involve only C, H, O, N, and P. Since H and O are not conserved at specified pH in dilute aqueous solution, there are only three conservation equations based on elements. Thus three additional conservation relations arise from the mechanisms of the enzyme-catalyzed reactions in glycolysis. Some of these conservation relations are discussed in Alberty (1992a). At specified pH in dilute aqueous solutions the reactions in glycolysis are... 

To get an impression of the complexity of the reaction manifold of simple molecules at VUV irradiation in aqueous solution the reaction system of methanol will be described briefly. Hdt et al.

For aqueous-phase chemical reactions the commonly used concentration unit is mol L 1. Aqueous solutions in cloud and raindrops are characterized by concentrations in the range of pmolL. For a dilute aqueous solution molality (mol kg-1) is approximately equal to molarity (mol L-1). The conversion between molar concentration c and molality m is...

The wet synthesis of CdS nanoparticles used in this work is based on the reaction between a dissolved cadmium salt (CdCl2) and a S-containing compound (thiourea (NH2)2CS) in an aqueous solution. Chemical deposition of CdS nanoparticles in the CdCl2 - NH3 - NaOH - (NH2)2CS - H2O bath was described elsewhere [3]. In the present work all the baths had the same composition and were prepared from solutions of cadmium chloride CdCl2 (0.005 mold-1), ammonia NH3-H2O (1.5 moll"1), sodium hydroxide NaOH (0.074 mold-1) and thiourea (NH2)2CS (0.025 mol-F1) using distilled water. The synthesis temperature was varied from 294 to 325 K. The primary concentrations of the precursors have been chosen according to the thermodynamic analysis [4]. A supersaturation of the solution with Cd(OH)2 takes place in the baths. It means that the mechanism of the cadmium sulfide formation could involve the stage of Cd(OH)2 formation. When the deposition process of CdS particles in the solution completed, the residue was filtered at an ambient pressure and dried at room temperature.

Three major t)q)es of chemical processes occur in aqueous solution precipitation reactions, acid-base reactions, and oxidation-reduction reactions. 

As we discussed in Chapter 7, many chemical reactions take place in aqueous solutions. Precipitation reactions, neutralization reactions, and gas evolution reactions, for example, all occur in aqueous solutions. Chapter 8 describes how we use the coefficients in chemical equations as conversion factors between moles of reactants and moles of products in stoichiometric calculations. These conversion factors are often used to determine, for example, the amount of product obtained in a chemical reaction based on a given amount of reactant or the amount of one reactant needed to completely react with a given amount of another reactant. The general solution map for these kinds of calculations is ...
