In an ideal Bose gas, at a certain transition temperature a remarkable effect occurs a macroscopic fraction of the total number of particles condenses into the lowest-energy single-particle state. This effect, which occurs when the Bose particles have non-zero mass, is called Bose-Einstein condensation, and the key to its understanding is the chemical potential. For an ideal gas of photons or phonons, which have zero mass, this effect does not occur. This is because their total number is arbitrary and the chemical potential is effectively zero for tire photon or phonon gas. 

The chemically activated molecules are fonned by reaction of with the appropriate fliiorinated alkene. In all these cases apparent non-RRKM behaviour was observed. As displayed in figure A3.12.11 the measured imimolecular rate constants are strongly dependent on pressure. The large rate constant at high pressure reflects an mitial excitation of only a fraction of the total number of vibrational modes, i.e. initially the molecule behaves smaller than its total size. However, as the pressure is decreased, there is time for IVR to compete with dissociation and energy is distributed between a larger fraction of the vibrational modes and the rate constant decreases. At low pressures each rate constant approaches the RRKM value. 

Nowadays, chemical elements are represented in abbreviated form [2]. Each element has its ovm symbol, which typically consists of the initial upper-case letter of the scientific name and, in most cases, is followed by an additional characteristic lower-case letter. Together with the chemical symbol, additional information can be included such as the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus, the atomic number (the number of protons in the nucleus) thus isotopes can be distinguished, e.g., The charge value and, finally, the number of atoms which are present in the molecule can be given (Figure 2-3). For example, dioxygen is represented by O2. 

Multiple Chiral Centers. The number of stereoisomers increases rapidly with an increase in the number of chiral centers in a molecule. A molecule possessing two chiral atoms should have four optical isomers, that is, four structures consisting of two pairs of enantiomers. However, if a compound has two chiral centers but both centers have the same four substituents attached, the total number of isomers is three rather than four. One isomer of such a compound is not chiral because it is identical with its mirror image it has an internal mirror plane. This is an example of a diaster-eomer. The achiral structure is denoted as a meso compound. Diastereomers have different physical and chemical properties from the optically active enantiomers. Recognition of a plane of symmetry is usually the easiest way to detect a meso compound. The stereoisomers of tartaric acid are examples of compounds with multiple chiral centers (see Fig. 1.14), and one of its isomers is a meso compound. 

Chemical compounds having odor and taste number in the thousands. In 1969 a description of the odor characteristics of more than three thousand chemical compounds used in the flavor and perfume industries were described (41). The Hst of volatile compounds found in food that may contribute to odor and taste is even larger (42), and the Hst of all possible flavor compounds, including those that have yet to be synthesized, is greater than a thousand. Many different compounds have the same flavor character or quaUty, differing perhaps in their relative intensity but indistinguishable in the type of flavor they ehcit. The exact number of different flavor quaUties is not known, but it appears to be much less than the total number of compounds with flavor. 

An important consideration for all radiopharmaceuticals and especially radiolabeled biologically active molecules is specific activity. There are two types of specific activity radionucHdic and biological. RadionucHdic specific activity refers to the ratio of the number of atoms of a particular radioisotope to the total number of atoms of the element. For Tc, the radionuchdic specific activity is the number of Tc atoms to the total number of Tc and Tc atoms. Because all isotopes of an element ate chemically identical, a low specific activity may lead to a low yield in the synthesis of a radiopharmaceutical if a significant proportion of the reagents is consumed by the undesited isotopes. 

For a PVnr system of uniform T and P containing N species and 7T phases at thermodynamic equiUbrium, the intensive state of the system is fully deterrnined by the values of T, P, and the (N — 1) independent mole fractions for each of the equiUbrium phases. The total number of these variables is then 2 + 7t N — 1). The independent equations defining or constraining the equiUbrium state are of three types equations 218 or 219 of phase-equiUbrium, N 7t — 1) in number equation 245 of chemical reaction equiUbrium, r in number and equations of special constraint, s in number. The total number of these equations is A(7t — 1) + r -H 5. The number of equations of reaction equiUbrium r is the number of independent chemical reactions, and may be deterrnined by a systematic procedure (6). Special constraints arise when conditions are imposed, such as forming the system from particular species, which allow one or more additional equations to be written connecting the phase-rule variables (6). 

The total number of independent equations is therefore (tt — )N + r In their fundamental forms these equations relate chemical potentials, which are functions of temperature, pressure, and composition, the phase-rule variables. Since the degrees of freedom of the system F is the difference between the number of variables and the number of equations. 

Formulate the constraining material-balance equations, based on conservation of the total number of atoms of each element in a system comprised of w elements. Let subscript k identify a particular atom, and define Ai as the total number of atomic masses of the /cth element in the feed. Further, let a be the number of atoms of the /cth element present in each molecule of chemical species i. The material balance for element k is then... 

Equation (1) can be used in a general way to determine the variance resulting from the different dispersion processes that occur in an LC column. However, although the application of equation (1) to physical chemical processes may be simple, there is often a problem in identifying the average step and, sometimes, the total number of steps associated with the particular process being considered. To illustrate the use of the Random Walk model, equation (1) will be first applied to the problem of radial dispersion that occurs when a sample is placed on a packed LC column in the manner of Horne et al. [3]. 

Abbreviations N is the total number of particles Pdim is the average density of dimers in each of the parts I and III is the average density of monomers in each of the parts II and IV p is the average density at the middle of parts II and IV this value has been used to calculate the excess chemical potential from Eq.

When investigating the suitability of a particular resin-bound separations process, the following factors are often important (i) resin consumption (ii) solvent usage (iii) productivity-chemical, optical and volume yields (iv) total number of separations steps and (v) capital costs. For any particular process, these factors differ in their relative importance. However, when evaluating a new separations method it is useful to examine each of these factors. The nonchromatographic separation method...

One molecule (or mole) of propane reacts with five molecules (or moles) of oxygen to produce three molecules (or moles) or carbon dioxide and four molecules (or moles) of water. These numbers are called stoichiometric coefficients (v.) of the reaction and are shown below each reactant and product in the equation. In a stoichiometrically balanced equation, the total number of atoms of each constituent element in the reactants must be the same as that in the products. Thus, there are three atoms of C, eight atoms of H, and ten atoms of O on either side of the equation. This indicates that the compositions expressed in gram-atoms of elements remain unaltered during a chemical reaction. This is a consequence of the principle of conservation of mass applied to an isolated reactive system. It is also true that the combined mass of reactants is always equal to the combined mass of products in a chemical reaction, but the same is not generally valid for the total number of moles. To achieve equality on a molar basis, the sum of the stoichiometric coefficients for the reactants must equal the sum of v. for the products. Definitions of certain terms bearing relevance to reactive systems will follow next. 

The isolation and structural characterization of plant constituents are often difficult and time-consuming. Consequently, at the present time, only a small percentage of the total number of natural plant products has been identified. Early in the development of natural product chemistry it was apparent to many botanists and chemists that plants might be characterized and classified on the basis of their chemical constituents. The distribution of chemical constituents among plant families is presented by Swain (139) and Hegnauer (66). 

A remarkable feature of the metathesis reaction is that the enthalpy difference between products and reactants (AHr) is virtually zero, because the total number and the types of the chemical bonds are equal before and after the reaction. Hence, ideally, the free enthalpy of the reac-... 

By the components of the system we are to understand the least number of independently variable constituents, in terms of which the composition of every phase in the system can be completely specified. The number of components will therefore contribute to the total number of independent variables defining the state of chemical and physical equilibrium of the system. It is not necessary that the components shall be actual constituents of the system all that is required is that they shall be independently variable, Le.y the least number has been chosen. Thus, in systems composed of solid fuming sulphuric acid in presence... 

The concentrations of reactants are of little significance in the theoretical treatment of the kinetics of solid phase reactions, since this parameter does not usually vary in a manner which is readily related to changes in the quantity of undecomposed reactant remaining. The inhomogeneity inherent in solid state rate processes makes it necessary to consider always both numbers and local spatial distributions of the participants in a chemical change, rather than the total numbers present in the volume of reactant studied. This is in sharp contrast with methods used to analyse rate data for homogeneous reactions in the liquid or gas phases. 

The formulas of ionic compounds have a different meaning from those of molecular compounds. Each crystal of sodium chloride has a different total number of cations and anions. We cannot simply specify the numbers of ions present as the formula of this ionic compound, because each crystal would have a different formula and the subscripts would be enormous numbers. However, the ratio of the number of cations to the number of anions is the same in all the crystals, and the chemical formula shows this ratio. In sodium chloride, there is one Na+ ion for each Cl ion so its formula is NaCl. Sodium chloride is an example of a binary ionic compound, a compound formed from the ions of two elements. Another binary compound, CaCl2, is formed from Ca2+ and Cl- ions in the ratio 1 2, which is required for electrical neutrality.

To conclude this synthetic section, it appears very clear that the experimental approaches for preparation of POPs are very numerous and give accessibility to phosphazene polymers and copolymers with different structures and properties. Moreover, it has been recently estimated [10,383] that the total number of polyphosphazenes reported up to now in the literature is about 700, and that these materials can find potential practical application as flame- and fire-resistant polymers [44,283, 384-388] and additives [389, 390] thermally stable macromolecules [391] chemically inert compounds [392] low temper-...
