It must be kept under an atmosphere of nitrogen or carbon dioxide it reduces, for example, Fe(III) to Fe(II) and nitro-organic compounds RNO2 to amines RNH2 (it may be used quantitatively to estimate nitro-compounds). In neutral solution, hydrolysis occurs to give species such as [Ti(0H)(H20)s], and with alkali an insoluble substance formulated as Ti203 aq is produced this is rapidly oxidised in air. 

This IS the important state of vanadium in aqueous solution it is neither strongly oxidising or strongly reducing and acidic solutions are stable to atmospheric oxidation ... 

Benzaldehyde is easily oxidised by atmospheric oxygon giving, ultimately, benzoic acid. This auto-oxidation is considerably influenced by catalysts tiiose are considered to react with the unstable peroxide complexes which are the initial products of the oxidation. Catalysts which inhibit or retard auto-oxidation are termed anti-oxidants, and those that accelerate auto-oxidation are called pro-oxidants. Anti-oxidants find important applications in preserving many organic compounds, e.g., acrolein. For benzaldehyde, hydroquinone or catechol (considerably loss than U-1 per cent, is sufficient) are excellent anti-oxidants. 

Because of the mixture of VOCs in the atmosphere, the composition of smog reaction products and intermediates is extremely complex. formed via reaction 16, is important because when dissolved in cloud droplets it is an important oxidant, responsible for oxidising SO2 to sulfuric acid [7664-93-9] H2SO4, the primary cause of acid precipitation. The oxidation of many VOCs produces acetyl radicals, CH CO, which can react with O2 to produce peroxyacetyl radicals, CH2(C0)02, which react with NO2...

Propylene is a colorless gas under normal conditions, has anesthetic properties at high concentrations, and can cause asphyxiation. It does not irritate the eyes and its odor is characteristic of olefins. Propjiene is a flammable gas under normal atmospheric conditions. Vapor-cloud formation from Hquid or vapor leaks is the main ha2ard that can lead to explosion. The autoignition temperature is 731 K in air and 696 K in oxygen (80). Evaporation of Hquid propylene can cause skin bums. Propylene also reacts vigorously with oxidising materials. Under unusual conditions, eg, 96.8 MPa (995 atm) and 600 K, it explodes. It reacts violentiy with NO2, N2O4, and N2O (81). Explosions have been reported when Hquid propylene contacts water at 315—348 K (82). Table 8 shows the ratio TJTp where is the initial water temperature, and T is the superheat limit temperature of the hydrocarbon. 

Refractory fibers are most often used in applications above 1000°C. Table 1 shows the maximum long-term use temperatures in both oxidising and nonoxidizing atmospheres. For short exposures, however, some of these fibers can be used with Htde degradation at temperatures within 100°C of their melting points. 

The preparation of triaryknethane dyes proceeds through several stages formation of the colorless leuco base in acid media, conversion to the colorless carbinol base by using an oxidising agent, eg, lead dioxide, manganese dioxide, or alkah dichromates, and formation of the dye by treatment with acid (Fig. 1). The oxidation of the leuco base can also be accompHshed with atmospheric oxygen in the presence of catalysts. 

Tungsten disilicide [12039-88-2] WSi2, forms bluish-gray tetragonal crystals (a = 0.3212 nm, c = 0.7880 nm). It is insoluble in water and melts at 2160°C. The compound is attacked by fluorine, chlorine, fused alkaUes, and HNO —HF. It may be used for high temperature thermocouples in combination with MOSi in an oxidising atmosphere. 

Finely divided barium is susceptible to rapid, violent combination with atmospheric oxygen. Therefore, in powdered form it must be considered pyrophoric and very dangerous to handle in the presence of air or other oxidising gases. Barium powder must be stored under dry argon or helium to avoid the possibihty of violent explosions. Massive pieces of barium, however, oxidize relatively slowly and present no explosion hazard if kept dry. 

Dissolve in Et20, dry over Na2S04, evap and distil in an inert atmosphere. Distillate solidifies on cooling and is sublimed at 140°/0.(X)lmm. This has m 92-95°(evacuated capillary). When air is bubbled through an Et20 solution, it is oxidised to tribenzyl phosphine oxide, m 209-212° (evacuated capillary) (from Mc2CO). [J Chem Soc 2835 7959.]... 

Vanadium (III) acetonylacetonate [13476-99-8] M 348.3, m 181-184°, 185-190°, pKj 2.92, pK 3.5(for aquo V hydrolysis). Crystd from acetylacetone as brown plates. It can be distilled in small quantities without decomposition. It is soluble in CHCI3 and CgHg and evaporation of a CHCI3 solution yields brown crystals which are washed with cold EtOH and dried in vacuum or at 100° in a CO2 atmosphere. Under moist conditions it readily oxidises [V(AcAc)3 lo V(AcAc)20]. [J Chem Soc 103 78 1913, Inorg Synth 5 105 1957 Anal Chem 30 526 I958 UV J Am Chem Soc 80 5686 1958.]... 

The rubber has a very low of -68°C, excellent hydrolytic stability and excellent resistance to ozone, solvents and acids. In addition the rubber does not bum even in an oxidising atmosphere. Although its properties are virtually unchanged in the range -75 to + 120°C it does not possess the heat resistance of other fluoroelastomers. This polymer was marketed by Firestone in the mid-1970s as PNF rubber, but in 1983 the Ethyl Corporation obtained exclusive rights to the Firestone patents and the polymer is now marketed as Eypel F. 

Oxidation by Chromic Acid. Under mild conditions, e.g., in acetic acid at atmospheric temperature this converts the dihydric alcohol or keto-alcohol bases to diketo-bases, e.g., the lelobanidines, Ci3H2902N, to lelobanines, C13H25O2N. Under more vigorous action the keto-alcohol and the diketo-bases are oxidised to benzoic acid (side-chain, Ph. CO. ), acetic and i iropionic acids (side-chain, C2H5. CO. ) and either scopolinic acid l-methylpiperidine-2 6-dicarboxylic acid (IV)) or methylgranatic acid (l-methylpiperidine-2-carboxylic-6-acetic acid) or both, these being from the methylpiperidine nucleus with residues of the two side-chains.
