The bed depth has no influence on the size of the bubble produced. This indicates that the bubbles are foxmed under either constant flow or constant pressure conditions. In the intermediate region, Padmavathy, Kumar, and Kuloor (PI) have shown that the bubble volume in an air-water system is highly sensitive to the variation in the depth of the liquid column above the bubble forming nozzle. As the bed has no surface tension, no variation of flow is expected during bubble formation, and the conditions of constant flow are approximated. This explanation is due to present authors. 

The hydride reacts immediately with ethene to give the expected ethyl complex selectively and quantitatively, which again is ideal for the catalytic activity. The hydride is very unstable when CO is bubbled into MeOH solution, even at low temperature [115] at room temperature it reacts immediately with ethene giving a cationic ethyl complex. In the presence of both CO and ethene, like under catalytic conditions, decomposition does not occur because the hydride reacts much faster with ethene than with CO. Once the ethyl intermediate is formed, fast insertion of CO occurs with formation of an acyl intermediate, which in turn reacts with MeOH yielding MP with quantitative regeneration of the starting hydride to continue the catalytic cycle [114,115]. The formation of the ethyl and of the acyl intermediates involves facile equi-... 

Bubbles of hydrogen are observed from the surface of zinc electrode, and formation of bubbles of hydrogen is a cathodic reaction. Hydrogen is reduced and not oxidized. Similarly, zinc is oxidized and not reduced. Hence, only the two reactions (a) and (b) proceed. Under the condition of rest (no outside current), the potential of the electrode cannot be computed by the Nernst equation as it is not reversible. Also, the above electrode would not corrode in the absence of an external current. The potential assumed by the electrode under the above condition is the mixed potential and its value lies between the value of equilibrium potential of hydrogen and zinc. The value of the potential would depend on the metal and the environment. It is to be observed that the corrosion potential (Ecorr) is not the equilibrium potential of either of the reactions, but some intermediate potential determined by the two partial anodic and cathodic reactions. Both the reactions... 

The combustion of H2 and 02 in the cavitation bubble [20] and the consumption of these gases, when in the ratio of 1 3 and 2 1, favoured the maximum formation of H2O2. Since the conditions of gases in a cavitating bubble were different from those under flame, the mechanism could not precisely be the same. The intermediates of chain reactions rapidly reached cooler interfacial region of the bubble and therefore did not allow the chain length to go beyond 10 steps. Fe2+ ions present in the... 

The alkene reduction reactions most frequently observed are of a,3-unsaturated aldehydes, ketones, acids and esters. Examples of stereospecific reductions of acyclic substrates are given in Scheme 50.148.157-159 (j, (, e formation of (123), the double bond of (122) is reduced prior to the aldehyde function. The conversion of (124) to (125) involves oxidation of the intermediate alcohol to the carboxylic acid by bubbling air into the fermentation medium. Stereospecific reductions of a, 3-unsaturated ketones may be similarly effected (Scheme 61). The reduction of the chloro ketone (126) gives (127) initially. This epimerizes under the reaction conditions, and each enantiomer is then reduced further to (128) and (129), with the predominance of the (128) stereoisomer increasing with the size of the R-group. Reduction of ( )-(130) leads to (131) and (132). ... 

The kinetics and products of the reaction of phthalocyaninatoiron(II), FePc, with O2 in DMSO are strongly dependent on [FePc]. Under high-concentration conditions (>1 x 10 M FePc) the autocatalytic behavior of the system can be reversed by N2 bubbling or dilution. [(FePc)20] is the final product. Under low-concentration conditions ( 10 M FePc) an irreversible degradation of the complex takes place. The data can be explained by the formation of an intermediate (presumably [FePcO]), which can either react reversibly with [FePc] to give the /t-oxo compound, or oxidize the solvent.
