In the literature a number of different techniques for the preparation of a-sulfo fatty acid esters can be found. There is equipment for small-scale and commercial scale sulfonation. Stirton et al. added liquid sulfur trioxide dropwise to the fatty acids dispersed or dissolved in chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, or tetrachoroethylene [44]. The molar ratio of S03/fatty acid was 1.5-1.7 and the reaction temperature was increased to 65 °C in the Final stage of sulfonation. The yield was 75-85% of the dark colored a-sulfonated acid. The esterification of the acid was carried out with either the a-sulfonic acid alone, in which case the free sulfonic acid served as its own catalyst, or with the monosodium salt and a mineral catalyst. 

At the opposite extreme, molecular solids contain individual molecules bound together by various combinations of dispersion forces, dipole forces, and hydrogen bonds. Conforming to like dissolves like, molecular solids dissolve readily in solvents with similar types of intermolecular forces. Nonpolar I2, for instance, is soluble in nonpolar liquids such as carbon tetrachloride (CCI4). Many organic compounds are molecular solids that dissolve in organic liquids such as cyclohexane and acetone. 

The best solvent for a molecular solid Is one whose Intermolecular forces match the forces holding the molecules in the crystal. For a solid held together by dispersion forces, good solvents are nonpolar liquids such as carbon tetrachloride (CCI4) and cyclohexane (Cg H12) For polar solids, a polar solvent such as acetone works well. Example provides some practice in recognizing solubility types. 

The adsorption of block and random copolymers of styrene and methyl methacrylate on to silica from their solutions in carbon tetrachloride/n-heptane, and the resulting dispersion stability, has been investigated. Theta-conditions for the homopolymers and analogous critical non-solvent volume fractions for random copolymers were determined by cloud-point titration. The adsorption of block copolymers varied steadily with the non-solvent content, whilst that of the random copolymers became progressively more dependent on solvent quality only as theta-conditions and phase separation were approached. 

Boron trifluoride gas may be used in place of the etherate. In this case a fritted-glass gas-dispersion tube that extends below the liquid surface replaces the second addition funnel. Boron trifluoride gas (0.20 mole, 4.48 1.) is passed through the solution as the peroxytrifluoroacetic acid is added. The boron trifluoride may be metered into the mixture through a calibrated flowmeter containing carbon tetrachloride as the indicator liquid. Alternatively, a premeasured quantity of boron trifluoride may be displaced by carbon tetrachloride from a gas bulb. The yield is approximately the same regardless of the source of boron trifluoride. 

You can rule out choice B, hydrogen peroxide, and choice C, water, because the very strong hydrogen bonds between their molecules lower the vapor pressure (the ease at which the liquid evaporates). Although answer A, carbon tetrachloride, the only nonpolar molecule in the list, has only dispersion forces present between molecules, choice D, dichloromethane, has the lowest molecular weight and consequently the lowest amount of dispersion forces. 

The ARS Technologies, Inc., Ferox process is an in situ remediation technology for the treatment of chlorinated hydrocarbons, leachable heavy metals, and other contaminants. The process involves the subsurface injection and dispersion of reactive zero-valence iron powder into the saturated or unsaturated zones of a contaminated area. ARS Technologies claims that Ferox is applicable for treating the following chemicals trichloroethene (TCE), 1,1,1-trichloroethane (TCA), carbon tetrachloride, 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane, lindane, aromatic azo compounds, 1,2,3-trichloropropane, tetrachloroethene (PCE), nitro aromatic compounds, 1,2-dichloroethene (DCE), vinyl chloride, 4-chlorophenol, hexachloroethane, tribromomethane, ethylene dibromide (EDB), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), Freon-113, unexploded ordinances (UXO), and soluble metals (copper, nickel, lead, cadmium, arsenic, and chromium). 

In a mixed solvent system, it is possible to control the particle size by changing the composition ratio. In a dispersion polymerization of methyl methacrylate in a mixed solvent of trimethylpentane and carbon tetrachloride, the size of the particle increases as the fraction of carbon tetrachloride, which has affinity to methyl methacrylate, increases. 

It was realized also that the carbon tetrachloride in the aerosol might in itself be a factor in the insect mortality which resulted. Therefore parallel tests were run in several instances in which carbon tetrachloride was omitted, and it was concluded that in the mixtures DDT was the principal toxic ingredient, at least when dispersed as a thermal aerosol. 

In the experiments of Kramers and co-workers, water was the dispersed phase and a mixture of toluene and carbon tetrachloride (density = 965 kg./m.3) the continuous phase. Two types of tracer reactions (1 and II) were used ... 

Lithium dispersion (0.5% sodium in mineral oil, Aldrich) is washed with hexane to remove the oil before use and dried by passing a stream of nitrogen over it. Di-tert-butyldichlorosilane is commercially available (Huls, bp 191°C) or can be prepared by chlorination of di-tert-butylchlorosilane (benzoyl peroxide in refluxing carbon tetrachloride for 8 h, yield > 90%). trans-Butene is commercially available (Aldrich) in lecture bottles and is used as is. Tetrahydrofuran is freshly distilled under nitrogen from sodium ketyl benzophenone immediately prior to use. 

Carbon tetrachloride, CC14, is generally used in the production of other substances, whereas the halocarbons 13 and 12 are in daily use in sprays and refrigerators. The annual rate of production of CFCI3 was 1000 tonnes in 1947 it rose about to 35,000 tonnes in 1957, 150,000 tonnes in 1967, and to at least 300,000 tonnes in 1979 (for details see ref. 13). If the dispersion of these halocarbons in the atmosphere continues to increase, then the annual rate at which they are produced is so great that it cannot fail to have an effect on the accumulated chlorine in the stratosphere, and on the stratospheric ozone. 

In nonpolar molecules such as carbon tetrachloride, the principal attractive force is the London dispersion force, one of the van der Waals forces (Figure 2-24). The London force arises from temporary dipole moments that are induced in a molecule by other nearby molecules. Even though carbon tetrachloride has no permanent dipole moment, the electrons are not always evenly distributed. A small temporary dipole moment is induced when one molecule approaches another molecule in which the electrons are slightly displaced from a symmetrical arrangement. The electrons in the approaching molecule are displaced slightly so that an attractive dipole-dipole interaction results. 

These temporary dipoles last only a fraction of a second, and they constantly change yet they are correlated so their net force is attractive. This attractive force depends on close surface contact of two molecules, so it is roughly proportional to the molecular surface area. Carbon tetrachloride has a larger surface area than chloroform (a chlorine atom is much larger than a hydrogen atom), so the intermolecular London dispersion attractions between carbon tetrachloride molecules are stronger than they are between chloroform molecules. 

Luo et al. have fabricated a conductive polyurethane/MWNT composite thin film with a selective vapor-induced sensing performance through in-situ dispersion polymerization (120). This kind of thin films yielded higher responsivity to some solvent vapors like benzene, toluene, acetone and chloroform than others such as carbon tetrachloride, cyclohexane, methanol and formaldehyde. 

Dispersive Liquid-Liquid Microextraction The aforementioned SDME method, although it significantly reduces solvent consumption, is not free from drawbacks such as low extraction efficiency and slowly reached equilibrium. In many cases, the extraction efficiency can be increased by using dispersive systems such as the emulsion of organic solvent in an aqueous sample. In dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME), a mixture of two solvents (extraction solvent and disperser) is injected by syringe into an aqueous sample. The extraction solvent is a water-insoluble and nonpolar liquid such as toluene, chloroform, dichloro-methane, carbon tetrachloride, or carbon disulfide. A water-miscible, polar solvent, typically acetonitrile, acetone, isopropanol, or methanol, is used as disperser. The typical concentration of extractant in such a mixture is in the range 1-3 %.

In the highly polar solvent, acetic acid, the reaction is completely nonstereospecific. The product distribution is consistent with reaction of ds-stilbene with bromine to form an intermediate carbocation, followed by reaction of bromide on either face of the planar intermediate to give 4-21 and 4-22. In the nonpolar solvent, carbon tetrachloride, the product is exclusively the dl product 4-21 that would result from anti addition of bromide to a bridged bromonium ion. In the polar solvent, the localized charge on an intermediate planar carbocation would be more stabilized than the bromonium ion by solvent interactions, because the charge on the bridged bromonium ion is more dispersed. 

The solubility of chloroacetophenone in the readily volatile solvents is utilised in diffusing it in air. For this purpose benzene is the best solvent, carbon tetrachloride also being occasionally employed. When a solution in one of these solvents is sprayed into the air the solvent evaporates rapidly, leaving the chloroacetophenone dispersed in a state of fine subdivision.
