Additional reaction and separation of waste streams. Sometimes it is possible to cany out further reaction as well as separation on waste streams. Some examples have already been discussed in Chap. 4. 

The Scania plant at Falun in Sweden manufaetures bus and truck steering knuckles. These are safety-critical components that are specified as having to be crack-free. For this reason, every component is now inspected using an automatic process that ensures the appropiate inspection is consistently canied out to the required standards of quality. Photos of the system are shown in Fig 1. The principle of operation is as follows. 

Molten naphthalene at its melting point of 82°C has the same density as does water at this temperature. Suggest two methods that might be used to determine the naphthalene-water interfacial tension. Discuss your suggestions sufficiently to show that the methods will be reasonably easy to cany out and should give results good to 1% or better. 

Many other pulsed NMR experiments are possible, and some are listed in the final sections. Most can be canied out using the standard equipment described above, but some require additions such as highly controllable, pulsed field gradients, shaped RF pulses for (for example) single-frequency irradiations, and the combined use of pulses at several different frequencies. 

The electronic factor in the sum j(r, R) arises from the familiar BO electronic Hamiltonian defined for a fixed R. Since this Hamiltonian is independent of the nuclear set Xk(R) cany the e label. As is well known, with each k... 

One can note some interesting features from these trajectories. For example, the Mulliken population on the participating atoms in Figure 1 show that the departing deuterium canies a full electron. Also, the deuterium transferred to the NHj undergoes an initial substantial bond stretch with the up spin and down spin populations separating so that the system temporarily looks like a biradical before it settles into a normal closed-shell behavior. 

Now we cany out the same reaction with thiolate as nucleophile, as shown in Figure 3-23. hlowever, we must now realize that the product has a parity of (+ 1) although we have the same mechanism as in Figure 3-22 with inversion of configuration. 

Once amines that also cany heteroatoms were included in the study, a dataset of 80 proton affinities was obtained. For those alkyl amines the inductive effect as quantified by residual electronegativity had also to be taken into account, A simple... 

The first illustrative problem comes from quantum mechanics. An equation in radiation density can be set up but not solved by conventional means. We shall guess a solution, substitute it into the equation, and apply a test to see whether the guess was right. Of course it isn t on the first try, but a second guess can be made and tested to see whether it is closer to the solution than the first. An iterative routine can be set up to cany out very many guesses in a methodical way until the test indicates that the solution has been approximated within some narrow limit. 

Note that different spreadsheets and different versions of the same spreadsheet vary in the details of the calculation but that the basic idea for all is to cany out the calculation for the top cell and fill in the remaining cells in the same column with the mouse—a very convenient technique for simple calculations on large data sets. Consult the Help section of your spreadsheet for specific details. 

Addition and subtraction of matrices is canied out by adding or subtracting coiTcsponding elements. With matrices denoted by boldface capital letters and matrix elements by lower case letters, if... 

In the computer algorithm, division by the diagonal element, multiplication, and subtraction are usually canied out at the same time on each target element in the coefficient matrix, leading to some term like ajk — Next, the same three... 

The unit matrix, I, with an = 1 and Gy = 0 for i plays the same role in matrix algebra that the number 1 plays in ordinary algebra. In ordinary algebra, we can perform an operation on any number, say 5, to reduce it to 1 (divide by 5). If we do the same operation on 1, we obtain the inverse of 5, namely, 1/5. Analogously, in matrix algebra, if we cany out a series of operations on A to reduce it to the unit matrix and cany out the same series of operations on the unit matrix itself, we obtain the inverse of the original matrix A . ... 

The least squares derivation for quadratics is the same as it was for linear equations except that one more term is canied through the derivation and, of course, there are three normal equations rather than two. Random deviations from a quadratic are ... 

We wish to cany out a proceduie that is the multivariate analog to the analysis in the section on reliability of fitted parameters. A vector multiplied into its hanspose gives a scalar that is the sum of squares of the elements in that vector. The y vector leads to a vector of residuals... 

If we cany out a Taylor s expansion of the potential energy about the equilibrium length of an isolated chemical bond, we get... 

Caleulations by the more rigorous proeedure yield, in MM3, a sum of (a) bond energies, (b) steric energy, (c) vibrational zero point and thermal energies, and (d) structural features POP and TORS. Energies (a), (b), and (d) are calculated as before. Bond energy parameters appear to be quite different from those of the default MM3 calculations canied out so far because zero point and thermal energies are not included in the parameters but are added later. 

The expression for the Coulombic potential energy e/4neo can be canied through the entire derivation in Exercise 6-3 to anive at Eq. (6-17). Show that this is so. 

The optimization procedure is canied out to find the set of coefficients of the eigenvector that minimizes the energy. These are the best coefficients for the chosen linear combination of basis functions, best in the sense that the linear combination of arbitrarily chosen basis functions with optimized coefficients best approximates the molecular orbital (eigenvector) sought. Usually, some members of the basis set of funetions bear a eloser resemblanee to the true moleeular orbital than others. If basis function a +i. 

We also know that exact atomic orbitals are orthonormal, that is, Sa = 1 and = 0 for an LCAO. If we assume that orthonormality is canied from an LCAO into the molecular orbital, then S = I and, from Eq. (7-17),... 

Equality between the 1, 2 wave function and the modulus of the 2, 1 wave function, v /(j2, i), shows that they have the same curve shape in space after exchange as they did before, which is necessary if their probable locations are to be the same. The phase factor orients one wave function relative to the other in the complex plane, but Eq. (9-17) is simplified by one more condition that is always true for particle exchange. When exchange is canied out twice on the same particle pair, the operation must produce the original configuration of particles... 

We shall examine the simplest possible molecular orbital problem, calculation of the bond energy and bond length of the hydrogen molecule ion Hj. Although of no practical significance, is of theoretical importance because the complete quantum mechanical calculation of its bond energy can be canied out by both exact and approximate methods. This pemiits comparison of the exact quantum mechanical solution with the solution obtained by various approximate techniques so that a judgment can be made as to the efficacy of the approximate methods. Exact quantum mechanical calculations cannot be carried out on more complicated molecular systems, hence the importance of the one exact molecular solution we do have. We wish to have a three-way comparison i) exact theoretical, ii) experimental, and iii) approximate theoretical. 

A very important difference between H2 and molecular orbital calculations is electron correlation. Election correlation is the term used to describe interactions between elections in the same molecule. In the hydrogen molecule ion, there is only one election, so there can be no election correlation. The designators given to the calculations in Table 10-1 indicate first an electron correlation method and second a basis set, for example, MP2/6-31 G(d,p) designates a Moeller-Plesset electron coiTclation extension beyond the Hartiee-Fock limit canied out with a 6-31G(d,p) basis set. 

Procedure. Cany out the STO-3G single point calculations on H2 in a way similar to that of Exercise 10-9 at interatomic distances of 0.4 to 1.2 A at intervals of 0.1 A. This is best done in the z-mahix format, for example. 

Note that, for themiochemical purposes, there is no requirement that we can actually cany out the reaction. Systematic computational errors will, in some measure, cancel between the right and left sides of isodesmic reactions (10-20), giving an estimate of the GAMESS calculations at the STO-3G level lead...
