The role of the pH of the medium in the electrode reactions of organic compounds in aqueous solutions is well understood and has been recently reviewed in detail (Zuman, 1969). In particular, our understanding of this parameter is due to the large number of polarographic investigations where it has been found that the half-wave potential, the limiting current and the shape of the wave for an oxidation or reduction process may all be dependent on the acidity of the medium. 

Hydrolysis of substrates is performed in water, buffered aqueous solutions or biphasic mixtures of water and an organic solvent. Hydrolases tolerate low levels of polar organic solvents such as DMSO, DMF, and acetone in aqueous media. These cosolvents help to dissolve hydrophobic substrates. Although most hydrolases require soluble substrates, lipases display weak activity on soluble compounds in aqueous solutions. Their activity markedly increases when the substrate reaches the critical micellar concentration where it forms a second phase. This interfacial activation at the lipid-water interface has been explained by the presence of a...

Another important quality measure is the analysis of the field-fortified samples. The field-fortified samples have been handled, shipped and stored in the same manner as the treated samples. Any loss of analyte in the field-fortified samples will be used to correct residue levels of the field treated samples. It is best practice to keep the storage interval as short as possible to minimize losses. The acceptable storage time will vary according to the stability of each compound in aqueous solution. A good guideline is to analyze the samples within 30 days of sampling. 

Another potential site of reactivity for anhydrides in protein molecules is modification of any attached carbohydrate chains. In addition to amino group modification in the polypeptide chain, glycoproteins may be modified at their polysaccharide hydroxyl groups to form ester derivatives. Esterification of carbohydrates by acetic anhydride, especially cellulose, is a major industrial application for this compound. In aqueous solutions, however, esterification may be a minor product, since the oxygen of water is about as strong a nucleophile as the hydroxyls of sugar residues.

Detection, identification and quantification of these compounds in aqueous solutions, even in the form of matrix-free standards, present the analyst with considerable challenges. Even today, the standardised analysis of surfactants is not performed by substance-specific methods, but by sum parameter analysis on spectrophotometric and titrimetric bases. These substance-class-specific determination methods are not only very insensitive, but also very unspecific and therefore can be influenced by interference from other compounds of similar structure. Additionally, these determination methods also often fail to provide information regarding primary degradation products, including those with only marginal modifications in the molecule, and strongly modified metabolites. 

Surfactants are surface-active compounds, which are used in industrial processes as well as in trade and household products. They have one of the highest production rates of all organic chemicals. Commercial mixtures of surfactants consist of several tens to hundreds of homologues, oligomers and isomers of anionic, non-ionic, cationic and amphoteric compounds. Therefore, their identification and quantification in the environment is complicated and cumbersome. Detection, identification and quantification of these compounds in aqueous solutions, even in the form of matrix-free standards, still poses the analyst considerable problems.

The dissociation of an acidic or basic compound in aqueous solution produces ions that interact with water. The pH of the aqueous solution is determined by the position of equilibrium in reactions between the ions that are present in solution and the water molecules. Pure water contains a few ions, produced by the dissociation of water molecules ... 

Other compounds to be investigated include the ni-V compounds, such as In As, InP, and GaAs [155,157,252,253]. The stability of these compounds in aqueous solutions is questionable, but with relatively simple modifications in the hardware a system where potential control is maintained during the whole deposition can be constructed. Work is underway to deposit the Zn-based n-VI compounds as well [279], and initial work has been encouraging. 

Ultrasonic irradiation has also been employed for chemical remediation of water but the mode of sonochemical degradation of organic compounds in aqueous solution depends upon their physical and chemical properties. This is because there are two ways in which the cavitation bubble can function. In the case of volatile chemicals which enter the bubble, destruction occurs through the extreme conditions generated on collapse. In the case of chemicals remaining in the aqueous phase the bubble acts as a source of radicals (H, HO and HOO ) which enter the bulk solution and react with pollutants. 

De Visscher et al. (1996) investigated the sonolysis of benzene and other monocyclic aromatic compounds in aqueous solution by 520 kHz ultrasonic waves. The experiments were performed in a 200-mL glass reactor equipped with a cooling Jacket maintained at 25 °C. At initial benzene concentrations of 3.38 and 0.45 mM, the first-order reaction rates were 0.00171 and 0.02308/min, respectively.

Effects of electrolytes on the solubility of organic compounds in aqueous solutions were established empirically more than 100 years ago by Setschenow (1889). He found that the presence of dissolved inorganic salts in an aqueous solution decreases the aqueous solubility of nonpolar and weak polar organic compounds. This effect, known as the salting-out effect, is expressed by the empirical Setschenow formula... 

In the presence of excess monoalkylamine, carbonyl compounds in aqueous solution are in equilibrium with the corresponding imine. In most cases these imines cannot be isolated but they are reduced at a less negative potential than the carbonyl compound. Selective reduction of such equilibrium mixtures is a useful route to alkylamines from ketones in yields of 70-90%. The process fails with hindered ketones such as camphor and with bulky amines such as fert.-butyl amine. Overall the reaction has advantages of lower costs and simpler work-up compared to the use of cyanoborohydride reducing agents. In the electrochemical reaction, protonation of carbanion intermediates occurs from the more hindered side and where two isomeric products are fomied, the least hindered amine predominates [193].

When restrictions are not placed on the amount of time or the amount of material, different solvents or different quantities of acid or base are usually used as variables. It is not only important to know the solubility of the compounds in aqueous solutions but also in other solvents to which the compound might be exposed during synthesis and formulation. The solvents usually have a wide range of dielectric constants and the experimental results provide a solubility profile which can be utilized in the selection of appropriate solvents to use during the development of the compound. Since the compounds almost always selected for development are either weak acids or weak bases, the solubilities of the compounds will be pH-dependent. The use of different amounts of acid or base with an excess amount of compound permits the determination of a pH-solubility profile.
