Black mirror

The evolved arsine is decomposed to arsenic and hydrogen at the heated zone of the delivery tube hence arsenic deposits as a shiny black mirror beyond the heated zone. [Pg.254]

When the imposed light beam interacts with the sample, its response must then be detected by the instrument. Generally, for a given detector, when the incident light source is shorter in wavelength, the instrument is more sensitive to smaller particles. A combination of transmitted, forward-scatter and back-scatter detectors and black mirrors increase the accuracy and stability of the instrument and decrease the stray light (for instance in Instruments A and F). The source/de-tector combination defines the effective spectral characteristics of the instrument and the manner in which it responds to a sample. [Pg.59]

These contrasting historical interpretations of Black mirror the different ways in which his disciples developed the chemistry of heat, and of latent heat in particular. Thus William Irvine s non-chemical theory of latent heat did indeed take Black s ideas into a form readily assimilable to the early nineteenth-century transformation of heat into a physical instrument of chemical change. In drawing lines from Black to proto-thermodynamic thinking, Irvinism was the conduit. This is true, I think, even though, as Robert Fox long ago showed, Irvinist conceptions of heat were under apparently fatal attack from French investigators... [Pg.91]

Visual observation of the Vycor glass reactor immediately following the butadiene run at 700°C resulted in important information. The reactor was cut to permit inspection of the black deposits thought to be primarily coke. The last two-thirds of the reactor and a short section of the unheated tube that extended beyond the furnace were covered on the inner surface with a smooth layer of coke. This deposit, when viewed from the outside of the reactor, appeared as a black mirror. It is of special interest that the inlet section of the tubular reactor did not have any coke deposits. This section was the one that was subjected to increasing temperatures in the furnace. The start of the coke deposits occurred approximately in the section where maximum temperatures occurred during a run. Most of the deposits appeared to occur in the... [Pg.203]

It also is formed by reduction of soluble arsenic compounds by zinc in acidic solution. This reaction is the basis of an important and sensitive test for arsenic, the Marsh test (Fig. 21-5). The arsenic is deposited as a steel-gray or black mirror from the burning gas onto a cold glazed porcelain dish held in the flame. Antimony produces a velvety brown or black deposit, which is not soluble in sodium hypochlorite solution, whereas the arsenic deposit is. The antimony deposit, but not that of... [Pg.456]

If elemental arsenic is present, it will co-sublime with the NH4CI and give a black mirror. In this case, it is necessary to heat the sublimed material in 1 Af hydrochloric acid and filter. The filtrate is then tested for antimony as described on page 106. [Pg.104]

Dissolve 0-5 g. of the substance in 10 ml. of 50 per cent, alcohol, add 0-5 g. of solid ammonium chloride and about 0 -5 g. of zinc powder. Heat the mixture to boiling, and allow the ensuing chemical reaction to proceed for 5 minutes. Filter from the excess of zinc powder, and teat the filtrate with Tollen s reagent Section 111,70, (i). An immediate black or grey precipitate or a silver mirror indicates the presence of a hydroxyl-amine formed by reduction of the nitro compound. Alternatively, the filtrate may be warmed with Fehling s solution, when cuprous oxide will be precipitated if a hydroxylamine is present. Make certain that the original compound does not aflfect the reagent used. [Pg.529]

Bar code scanners, for example, exploit the directionality of a laser beam. The laser light reflects more strongly from white stripes than from black. Because of the directionality of the laser beam, the reflected laser beam faithfully mirrors the pattern of the bar code. A sensor reads these variations and converts the light pattern into an eiectronic representation of the bar code. The sensor transmits the electronic representation to a computer. [Pg.433]

Compounds of silver are used in photography, to coat mirrors, and in dentistry and medicine. Newborn babies eyes are protected from infection by drops of a solution containing a compound of silver, and the same compound is used to treat burns. In pure air, silver would never tarnish. Trace elements in the air cause silver to turn black. Coins like the U.S. 10 cent piece were formerly made of silver, with copper added to make them harder. [Pg.58]

Depending on the source of the graphite, one obtains distinctly different IR/PA spectra (frequently caused by adsorbed species) and the response of the DTGS detector of an IR spectrometer turns out to be a more accurate measure of variable source intensity (12). A normalization technique (13) requiring measurement of the spectrum at two different mirror velocities and corrected by black body spectra taken at the same two velocities appears to be the best normalization method reported thus far. [Pg.397]

The hydrogel coatings achieved the lowest limits of detection (LTD) 1300 to 1600 amoles/spot, but exhibited significant assay variation (22% intra-slide to 37% inter-slide CV). LLD levels of surface-modified polysfyrene slides (Maxisorb black. Nunc) equaled 1500 amole/spof af 15 to 32% CV, while reflective (mirror-like) slides coated with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysi-lane (Amersham) showed the lowest variahon with CVs at 11 to 14%. [Pg.208]

Newton-XMM is an X-ray telescope eqnipped with a set of nested mirrors designed to focns grazing-incidence X rays, a confignration which explains the name X-ray Mnlti-Mirror. It is an ESA project and was lannched by Ariane 5 in December 1999. It opens a window onto the nltrahigh temperatnre Universe with its explosions and stars ripped apart by black holes. Its spectroscopic targets are snpernova remnants and the gases that fill clnsters of galaxies. [Pg.47]

Here the bond critical points are marked as squares and the ring critical points as triangles.
