The compound is very soluble in liquid ammonia, solutioirs changing from faint yellow to orange as the concentration increases. Concentrated solutions are extremely viscous, and crystals from liquid ammonia solutions contain 3 mols. of ammonia of crystallisation, which are readily eliminated at low pressures. Sodium triphenyl germanide is also very soluble in benzene saturated with ammonia, and fairly soluble in ether and pure benzeixe. Solutions in liquid ammonia are as highly ionised as ordinary salts, and benzene solutions in the presence of ammonia readily conduct the current. Sodium triphenyl germanide... 

Sodium, potassium, and chloride ions are all required in the human diet. When dissolved in water, sodium and potassium are positively charged ions (cations), and chloride is a negatively charged ion (anion). These three minerals are called Mood electrolytes because the ions can conduct electrical currents. Sodium is foimd primarily in the extracellular fluids, and potassium is found predominantly within the cell. Both of these elements are needed to maintain a proper fluid balance inside and outside of the cell. Because these three minerals are found in most foods, deficiency is rare. 

Sodium is a soft, silvery alkali metal and reacts vigorously with water to generate hydrogen gas. The word sodium is derived from sodanum (a Medieval Latin name for a headache remedy), and natrium (Latin for soda ) is the origin of the element s symbol. Humphry Davy isolated the element in 1807 via the electrolysis of caustic soda, NaOH. Currently, sodium metal is obtained from the electrolysis of a molten mixture of sodium chloride and...

Linked to this problem of cost is the energy leqnired to manufacture sodium borohydride. Using current methods this far exceeds the leqnirements of compounds snch as methanol. Currently sodium borohydride is made from borax (Na0-2B203-10H20), a naturally occurring mineral with many nses that is mined in large quantities, and... 

Currently, sodium-copper-chlorophyllin is the most widely used natural green colorant. This chlorophyll derivative has been the basis of many of the studies carried out on the functional value of chlorophyll compounds, and important antimutagenic and anticarcinogenic properties have been found. Research has been... 

Both forms sublime very readily, even at room temperature a small sample on exposure to the air will completely volatilise in a short time, particularly on a warm day or if the sample is exposed to a gentle current of air. Hence the above method for rapid drying. A sample confined in an atmospheric desiccator over calcium chloride rapidly disappears as the vapour is adsorbed by the calcium chloride. A sample of the hexahydrate similarly confined over sodium hydroxide undergoes steady dehydration with initial liquefaction, for the m.p. of the hydrated-anhydrous mixture is below room temperature as the dehydration proceeds to completion, complete resolidification occurs. 

Place 45 g. (43 ml.) of benzal chloride (Section IV,22), 250 ml. of water and 75 g. of precipitated calcium carbonate (1) in a 500 ml. round-bottomed flask fltted with a reflux condenser, and heat the mixture for 4 hours in an oil bath maintained at 130°. It is advantageous to pass a current of carbon dioxide through the apparatus. Filter off the calcium salts, and distil the filtrate in steam (Fig. II, 40, 1) until no more oil passes over (2). Separate the benzaldehyde from the steam distillate by two extractions with small volumes of ether, distil off most of the ether on a water bath, and transfer the residual benzaldehyde to a wide-mouthed bottle or flask. Add excess of a concentrated solution of sodium bisulphite in portions with stirring or shaking stopper the vessel and shake vigorously until the odour of benzaldehyde can no longer be detected. Filter the paste of the benzaldehyde bisulphite compound at the pump... 

Sebacic acid. Dissolve 40 g. of methyl hydrogen adipate in 100 ml. of absolute methanol to which 01 g. of sodium has been added. Pass a current of about 2 0 amps, until the pH of the solution is about 8 (ca. 5 hours) test with B.D.H. narrow-range indicator paper. Transfer the contents of the electrolysis cell to a 500 ml. round-bottomed flask, render neutral with a little acetic acid, and distil off the methanol on a water... 

Ionic bonding was proposed by the German physicist Walther Kossel in 1916 in or der to explain the ability of substances such as molten sodium chloride to conduct an electric current He was the son of Albrecht Kossel winner of the 1910 Nobel Prize in physiology or medi cine for early studies in nu cleic acids... 

Lime Soda. Process. Lime (CaO) reacts with a dilute (10—14%), hot (100°C) soda ash solution in a series of agitated tanks producing caustic and calcium carbonate. Although dilute alkaH solutions increase the conversion, the reaction does not go to completion and, in practice, only about 90% of the stoichiometric amount of lime is added. In this manner the lime is all converted to calcium carbonate and about 10% of the feed alkaH remains. The resulting slurry is sent to a clarifier where the calcium carbonate is removed, then washed to recover the residual alkaH. The clean calcium carbonate is then calcined to lime and recycled while the dilute caustic—soda ash solution is sent to evaporators and concentrated. The concentration process forces precipitation of the residual sodium carbonate from the caustic solution the ash is then removed by centrifugation and recycled. Caustic soda made by this process is comparable to the current electrolytic diaphragm ceU product. 

The inorganic flocculating agents are water-soluble salts of divalent or trivalent metals. For all practical purposes these metals are aluminum, iron, and calcium. Sodium siHcate is also used in some appHcations. The principal materials currently in use are described in the foUowing. 

The earhest frothing process developed was the Dunlop process, which made use of chemical gelling agents, eg, sodium fluorosiUcate, to coagulate the mbber particles and deactivate the soaps. The Talalay process, developed later, employs freeze-coagulation of the mbber followed by deactivation of the soaps with carbon dioxide. The basic processes and a multitude of improvements are discussed extensively in Reference 3. A discussion more oriented to current use of these processes is given in Reference 115. 

Lactic acid is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for multipurpose food use. Lactate salts such as calcium and sodium lactates and esters such as ethyl lactate used in pharmaceutical preparations are also considered safe and nontoxic (7). The U.S. Food and Dmg Administration fists lactic acid (all isomers) as GRAS and sets no limitations on its use in food other than current good manufacturing practice (46). 

If the ECM of titanium is attempted in sodium chloride electrolyte, very low (10—20%) current efficiency is usually obtained. When this solution is replaced by some mixture of fluoride-based electrolytes, to achieve greater efficiencies (> 60%), a higher voltage (ca 60 V) is used. These conditions ate needed to break down the tenacious oxide film that forms on the surface of titanium. It is this film which accounts for the corrosion resistance of titanium, and together with its toughness and lightness, make this metal so useful in the aircraft engine industry.
