Dissociation substance

EUSES is a useful model for chemicals outside the domain of the persistent, non-dissociating substances of intermediate lipophilicity. Due to the high complexity of the model, it is lacking in transparency on the other hand, the performance of the model is characterized as a good compromise between complexity and practicability. In order to adapt the model to different assumptions or assess the uncertainty, it is necessary to use the EU TGD2003 Spreadsheet version 1.24 of April 2008. This spreadsheet aims to represent the algorithms described in the 2003-version of the EU Technical Guidance Document, as implemented in EUSES 2.0.3. 

Dissociation of the neutral acid in water necessitates modifications for air-sea exchange in the model, which is based on Henry s law. Other possible pathways, e.g. sea spray, are neglected. Henry s law is restricted to concentrations of physically solved, non dissociated substances. Since only the non-dissociated acid is volatile, it is important to correct the air-water partition coefficient as to reflect the relative proportions of volatile and non-volatile components. The corrected parameter is the effective Henry s law coefficient, which is related to the Henry s law coefficient as a function of pH (modified Henderson-Hasselbalch equation) ... 

Moderately strong electrolytes, such as aqueous HNO3, generally have been treated thermodynamically as completely dissociated substances. Thus, for HN03(aq), the value for AfG of — 111.25 kJ mol hsted in [Ref. 11] refers to the reaction... 

Therefore the decree of dissociation of a substance can be found by measuring the densities of the undissociated and partially (or completely) dissociated substance in the gaseous Male. Molecular weights may be substituted for densities giving... 

The integrand must be finite as x, approaches zero. In the case of a dissociating substance, a proper choice of the components or species is required. The value of A(je/(1 — x,) becomes indeterminate in the limit as xl goes to unity, but can be determined by the use of l Hopital s theorem. We have... 

Organic bases such as amines R-NHs, contain no OH to dissociate. However, if we assume that, the. R-NH2 reacts with HjO to form R-NHsOH, then we can consider the dissociation of organic bases to yield OH" ions directly just as we do for inorganic bases. In fact, this is frequently done when we consider aqueous ammonia, NH3 we assume that the dissociable substance present is NH OH. ... 

Undissociated or poorly dissociated substances have lower rejection (e.g., silica). 

Multivalent ions (Ca, Mg ) have a higher rejection than monovalent ions (Na ) Undissociated, or poorly dissociated substances have lower rejections (e.g., sifica). Acids and bases are rejected to a lower extent than their salts. 

A simple continuous method for determining the content of dissociable substances, particularly in the case of measurements to be repeated regularly at specified intervals, is important not only for systematic but also for intermittent checking on water and its content of dissolved mineral substances. 

In the clinical setting 1 osmole means a concentration of 1 mol of a non-dissociable substance per kg of solvent or per litre of solution. If this cmicentration is expressed as mole per kg of solvent (molality) it is called osmolality. If the concentration is expressed as mole per litre of solution (molarity) it is called osmolarity. 

The carry-over of corrosion product radionuclides with the main steam in the direction of the turbine is effected, on the one hand, by droplet entrainment with the residual moisture content of the steam and, on the other, by steam volatility. Usually, droplet carry-over is the most significant transport mechanism however, the oxides of the primary system metals show a measurable solubility in steam even at BWR operating conditions. At different plants, concentrations of dissolved cobalt on the order of 60 ng/kg were measured in condensed samples of main steam, i. e. significantly higher than could be explained by droplet entrainment (e. g. Hepp et al., 1986). These observations are consistent with the fundamental results on steam volatility of weakly dissociated compounds under BWR operating conditions which were reported by Styrikovich and Martynova (1963). Since only non-dissociated substances are volatile with steam, it has to be assumed that a fraction of the cobalt present as dissolved ions in the reactor water at ambient temperature is converted to non-dissociated oxide, hydroxide or ferrite at the plant operating temperature. 

Returning to problem (1.8), (1.9) for the stationary diffusion of the dissociating substance, we arrive at the following conclusion. The concentration distribution of the substance depends essentially on the value of the parameter e u x) = u x e), where e - e D, C). For small values of the parameter c (i.e., when the diffusion coefficient is much less than the intensity of dissociation, or decay, of the substance) there are small regions in the neighborhood of the material surface where the concentration is finite, and outside of these regions the concentration is practically equal to zero. In this case, it is said that the concentration has a boundary layer. 

Equivalent weights in ion combinations. In relictions in which ions combine to form an insoluble solid (or a soluble but practically nondissociating substance), the number of equivalents in 1 mole is equal to the total charge of either ion forming the precipitate (or the weakly dissociated substance). For example, in the reaction... 

If the volatile products which occur during plastics processing do not contain water or other dissociative substances, any wear in the melt region cannot be traced back to electro-chemical corrosion. Electro-chemical corrosion can only be caused by ions. It must then be a purely chemical corrosion caused by degradation products of the polymers or by the functional groups, even in the molten state, as well as optionally by pigments and other additives. 

Osmolarity is a measure of the osmotically active concentration. For nonelectrolytes it is identical with molarity, but for dissociable substances, the molarity must be multiplied by the number of particles (ions) which arise during dissociation (cf. this Section, below). 

Associating and Dissociating Substances.—In the case of certain substances it is found that the molar weight, calculated from the vapour density, has a value sometimes greater and sometimes less than that corresponding with the formula which, on other grounds, must be assigned to the substance and it is also found that in those cases, the vapour density is not independent of, but alters with, the temperature. These cases of abnormal vapour densities, as they were termed, are accounted for by the assumption of association or of dissociation of the molecules of the substance in the vapour state and from the values of the density obtained one can... 

It may be pointed out tbat accutate deteiminations of the vapour denaty of associating and dissociating substances cannot be carried out even with the Victor Meyer or the Lumsden apparatus, on account of the impossibility of preventing completely the diffusion of the vapour and the... 

In the case of aqueous solutions, the depression produced by I mole of a normal (non-associating and non-dissociating) substance in 1000 gm. of water is i 86o .)...
