The Committee on Data for Science and Technology (CODATA) was established in 1966 as an interdisciplinary committee of the International Council of Science and Technology (ICSU). The CODATA Task Group on Fundamental Constants was established in 1969, with the aim to provide internationally accepted values of the fundamental physical and chemical constants and related conversion factors. The first such CODATA set was established in 1973, while the latest one in 1998 (Mohr and Taylor 1999, 2000). The latest recommended values of the fundamental constants are also available on an Internet page (CODATA 2003), on which the following presentation is based. Those interested in all recommended values or in the earlier versions of the CODATA set are referred to that Internet page. 

HyperChem supplements the standard MM2 force field (see References on page 106) by providing additional parameters (force constants) using two alternative schemes (see the second part of this book. Theory and Methods). This extends the range of chemical compounds that MM-t can accommodate. MM-t also provides cutoffs for calculating nonbonded interactions and periodic boundary conditions. 

The major absorption in the 31P n.m.r. spectrum of an equimolar solution of penta-phenoxyphosphorane and sodium phenoxide in DMF-acetonitrile is due to the hexaphenoxyphosphate anion, as predicted from the low equilibrium constant estimated for equation (2) (page 35).27 Catechol and phosphorus oxychloride in refluxing benzene gave the spirophosphorane(108), which with triethylamine gave the salt (109).45 On the basis of its 31P chemical shift in DMF solution, (108) was formulated86 as the free six-co-ordinate acid (110), but it seems probable that DMF is... 

IVom that period a constant race was kept up between soap-making and the artificial production of soda. Every improvement in Leblanc s system was followed by an extension of the soap trade and it is a curious fact, that tho seaport of Liverpool exports annually more soap at present, than did all tire ports of Great Britain previous to the conversion by Mr, Muspratt, on tho large scale, of chloride of sodium into crude carbonate of soda. The manufacture of soap has, on the other hand, been a powerful stimulus to the preparation of soda, and of the important secondary product—chloroxide of calcium, or bleaching powder —two substances which are so intimately allied with almost all branches of chemical manufactures. Thus soap occupies one of the most important pages in tho, history of applied chemistry. The increase ta the consumption of this article has led, moreover, to the dis-... 

Prior to this discussion, we would like to refer to a qualitative introduction given by Bard and Faulkner (ref. 21, Sect. 11.1.2 and 11.2.3). In a few pages they give a clear indication of the effect of the chemical reaction on the several characteristic electrochemical quantities (e.g. half-wave potential, limiting current, etc.). In addition, it is argued that a chemical rate constant, ft,-, is measurable by a given technique if its reciprocal value, 1/fc, falls within the experimental time range accessible for the technique (the so-called time window ). 

Students in introductory biochemistry laboratory may use methodology books more than any other type, although much of the data is now on the Web. While doing biochemical experiments, you may need physical, chemical, and biochemical information such as definition of terms, R values, molecular weights, and physical constants. This information is easily found in the many handbooks and collections of biochemical data. Some useful handbooks with a brief description of contents are listed on the next page.

Solubility Equilibria The Solubility Product Principle.—It was seen on page 133 that the chemical potential of a solid is constant at a definite temperature and pressure consequently, when a solution is saturated with a given salt Mv A, the chemical potential of the latter in the solution must also be constant, since the chemical potential of any substance present in two phases at equilibrium must be the same in each phase. It is immaterial whether this conclusion is applied to the undissociated molecules of the salt or to the ions, for the chemical potential is given by...

Ew, any characteristic potential of the wave E1/2, Ep, Ep/2, E°, standard reduction potential of the electron transfer step, involving an exchange of n electrons (n > 0 for a reduction n < 0 for an oxidation). intrinsic standard heterogeneous rate constant k, rate constant of the homogeneous follow-up chemical reaction. Chemically reversible or irreversible (see footnote page 55). 

In the Fourteenth Edition links to the internet were added. Worldwide web page addresses were added for manufacturers and associations in the appropriate entries and in Appendix III. Trademarked entries and their associated manufacturers were updated to reflect the constant flux in the modem chemical industry. Many additional chemical entries, definitions, and cross-references were added to make the work current with the constantly growing field of chemistry.
