Carbon-13 factors

It has been shown that static methods are suitable for preliminary evaluation of granular carbons. Factors influencing adsorption capacity, important for modelling of the process and for of new activated carbons, have been described. 

The aromaticity factor (ratio of the number of aromatic carbons to the total number of carbons), identical to that given by the ndM method or the Brandes method in the infrared region. 

The solubility of hydrocarbon liquids from the same chemical family diminishes as the molecular weight increases. This effect is particularly sensitive thus in the paraffin series, the solubility expressed in mole fraction is divided by a factor of about five when the number of carbon atoms is increased by one. The result is that heavy paraffin solubilities are extremely small. The polynuclear aromatics have high solubilities in water which makes it difficult to eliminate them by steam stripping. 

The addition of hydrogen and the diminution of carbon are priorities demand for hydrogen is becoming a determinant factor. 

Figure 3-22 shows a nucleophilic aliphatic substitution with cyanide ion as a nucleophile, i his reaction is assumed to proceed according to the S f2 mechanism with an inversion in the stereochemistry at the carbon atom of the reaction center. We have to assign a stereochemical mechanistic factor to this reaction, and, clearly, it is desirable to assign a mechanistic factor of (-i-1) to a reaction with retention of configuration and (-1) to a reaction with inversion of configuration. Thus, we want to calculate the parity of the product, of 3 reaction from the parity of the... 

The factor represents the fraction by weight of the element sought (Column i) in the final compound weighed (Column 2), e.g., the weight of carbon in x g. of carbon dioxide is therefore 0 2y2yx g. 

Nitration in acetic acid, in sulpholan and in carbon tetrachloride showed kinetic phenomena similar to those shown in nitromethane this is significant for it denies nitromethane a chemical involvement in the slow step. (Originally the rate of isomerization of nitromethane to its aci-form was believed to be a factor in the reaction. )... 

This reaction showed certain characteristics which distinguish it from nitrations in solutions of nitric acid in organic solvents. Thus, in changing the solvent from carbon tetrachloride to nitromethane, the rate increased by a factor of only 6, whereas nitration involving the nitronium ion was accelerated by a factor of about 30 when the solvent was changed from acetic acid to nitromethane. It was held that the...
