As fractionation

Although isotopes have similar chemical properties, their slight difference in mass causes slight differences in physical properties. Use of this is made in isotopic separation pro cesses using techniques such as fractional distillation, exchange reactions, diffusion, electrolysis and electromagnetic methods. 

Petroleums or petrols are used as solvents and are usually supplied as fractions boiling over the following ranges 40-60 , 60-80 , 8o-too , 100-120 . 

Table 2.26a lists the height of an ordinate (Y) as a distance z from the mean, and Table 2.26b the area under the normal curve at a distance z from the mean, expressed as fractions of the total area, 1.000. Returning to Fig. 2.10, we note that 68.27% of the area of the normal distribution curve lies within 1 standard deviation of the center or mean value. Therefore, 31.73% lies outside those limits and 15.86% on each side. Ninety-five percent (actually 95.43%) of the area lies within 2 standard deviations, and 99.73% lies within 3 standard deviations of the mean. Often the last two areas are stated slightly different viz. 95% of the area lies within 1.96cr (approximately 2cr) and 99% lies within approximately 2.5cr. The mean falls at exactly the 50% point for symmetric normal distributions.

The nitroparaftins have been determined by procedures such as fractionation, titration, colorimetry, kifrared spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and gas chromatography. The early analytical methods and uses of polynitroparaftins as analytical reagents have been reviewed (11). More recent quaHtative and quantitative methods have also been reviewed (83). 

Maximum acceptable concentiation figures expressed as fractions of 96 h for most sensitive species in given area. The 96 h is that concentration of a substance which kills 50% of the test species within 96 h under standard bioassay conditions. 

Zone refining is one of a class of techniques known as fractional solidification in which a separation is brought about by crystallization of a melt without solvent being added (see also Crystallization) (1 8). SoHd—Hquid phase equiUbria are utilized, but the phenomena are much more complex than in separation processes utilizing vapor—Hquid equiHbria. In most of the fractional-solidification techniques described in the article on crystallization, small separate crystals are formed rapidly in a relatively isothermal melt. In zone refining, on the other hand, a massive soHd is formed slowly and a sizable temperature gradient is imposed at the soHd—Hquid interface.

When using animal inhalation e.xpcrimcnts to estimate lifetime human risks for partially soluble vapors or gases, the air concentration (ppm) is generally considered to be the equivalent dose between species based on cqui alcnt c.xposure times (measured as fractions of a lifetime). For inhalation of particulates or completely absorbed gases, the amount absorbed per unit of body surface area is considered to be the equivalent dose between species.

The same concepts apply to column chromatography, where the stationary phase is normally small particles of silica, Si02, or alumina, A1,0 . These substances are not very reactive and have specially prepared surfaces to increase their adsorption ability. The column is saturated with solvent, and a small volume of solution containing the solutes is poured onto the top. As soon as it has soaked in, more solvent is added. The solutes travel slowly down the column and are eluted (removed as fractions) at the bottom (Fig. 2). If the mobile phase is less polar than the stationary phase, the less polar solutes will be eluted first and the more polar ones last. 

The rules in Example 4.6 are used to estimate the effective temperature resulting from the presence of a solute. In this study, replace 30 water molecules with 30 solute molecules. Use parameters for these solute molecules reflecting a moderately polar character, such as Tb(SS) = 0.5, J(SS) = 0.7 and Pb(WS) = 0.2, and T(WS) = 2.0. Run the dynamics and collect the fx values for the water. Convert these fx values as fractions of 1.00. Compute the Shannon information content, H, for this set of parameters.
