Empirical observations

That H and C chemical shifts correlate linearly with charge density in carbonium ions and carbanions has been an operating 

In order to explore the significance of the term in determining Aa, Musher (1962) calculated its effect for the C7H7 and CsHs ions and found that the correlated points provided a near perfect fit with a correlation line of slope 11-2. Fraenkel et al. (1960) introduced a correction for the variation of ring current with ring size and found it to be small. In Table 1, the raw data for the pnmr shifts for these ions as well as some other monocyclic aromatic ions are given, along 

Chemical Shifts and Corrections for Monocyclic Aromatic Ions 

Compare the chemical shift of cyclopropene vinyl hydrogens (7-0, Wiberg and Nist, 1961) with normal alkenes ( 6 0). 

A similar plot of proton shifts vs. carbon shifts forpora-substituted benzenes, where charges differences are much smaller, gives a line of slope 17-2 (Stothers, 1972, p. 199).

Various functional forms for / have been proposed either as a result of empirical observation or in terms of specific models. A particularly important example of the latter is that known as the Langmuir adsorption equation [2]. By analogy with the derivation for gas adsorption (see Section XVII-3), the Langmuir model assumes the surface to consist of adsorption sites, each having an area a. All adsorbed species interact only with a site and not with each other, and adsorption is thus limited to a monolayer. Related lattice models reduce to the Langmuir model under these assumptions [3,4]. In the case of adsorption from solution, however, it seems more plausible to consider an alternative phrasing of the model. Adsorption is still limited to a monolayer, but this layer is now regarded as an ideal two-dimensional solution of equal-size solute and solvent molecules of area a. Thus lateral interactions, absent in the site picture, cancel out in the ideal solution however, in the first version is a properly of the solid lattice, while in the second it is a properly of the adsorbed species. Both models attribute differences in adsorption behavior entirely to differences in adsorbate-solid interactions. Both present adsorption as a competition between solute and solvent. 

On the basis of these empirical observations and your own knowledge of stenc effects in six mem bered nngs predict the preferred form (a or 3 pyranose) at equihbnum in aqueous solution for each of the following... 

The concept of corresponding states was based on kinetic molecular theory, which describes molecules as discrete, rapidly moving particles that together constitute a fluid or soHd. Therefore, the theory of corresponding states was a macroscopic concept based on empirical observations. In 1939, the theory of corresponding states was derived from an inverse sixth power molecular potential model (74). Four basic assumptions were made (/) classical statistical mechanics apply, (2) the molecules must be spherical either by actual shape or by virtue of rapid and free rotation, (3) the intramolecular vibrations are considered identical for molecules in either the gas or Hquid phases, and (4) the potential energy of a coUection of molecules is a function of only the various intermolecular distances. 

The correlations used are based partly on theoretical consideration and partly on empirical observations. The basic filtration data are correlated by application of the classic cake-filtration equation, aided by various simplifying assumptions which are sufficiently valid for many (but not all) situations. Washing and drying correlations are of a more empirical nature but with strong experimental justification. If steam or thermal diying is being examined, additional correlations are required beyond those summarized below for such applications, it is advisable to consult an eqmpment manufacturer or refer to pubhshed technical papers for guidance. 

Another stereochemical feature of the Diels-Alder reaction is addressed by the Alder rule. The empirical observation is that if two isomeric adducts are possible, the one that has an unsaturated substituent(s) on the alkene oriented toward the newly formed cyclohexene double bond is the preferred product. The two alternative transition states are referred to as the endo and exo transition states ... 

Additional empirical observations concerning this reaction were that use of BF3 as its etherate or addition of small amounts of water (both apparently common practices in certain polymerizations) reduce the overall yield of cyclic products because of chain termination. In a typical reaction mixture, 12-crown-4, 15-crown-5, and 18-crown-6 were formed in 15%, 5% and 4% yields respectively. Dioxane constituted 40% of the product mixture and the remainder was less than 3% each of identified components below the cyclododecamer. ... 

AH and AS to various notional subprocesses such as bond dissociation energies, ionization energies, electron affinities, heats and entropies of hydration, etc., which themselves have empirically observed values that are difficult to compute ab initio. 

From empirical observation, ILs tend to be immiscible with non-polar solvents. They can therefore be washed or brought into contact with diethyl ether or hexane to extract non-polar reaction products. Among solvents of greater polarity, esters (ethyl acetate, for example) exhibit variable solubility with ILs, depending on the nature of the IL. Polar or dipolar solvents (including chloroform, acetonitrile, and methanol) appear to be totally miscible with all ILs (excepting tetrachloroaluminate IL and the like, which react). Among notable exceptions, [EMIMJCl and [BMIMJCl are insoluble in dry acetone. 

Park, et. ai, make a number of interesting empirical observations about PFA. First, it is fairly easy to see that the position of the right-most T in a given particle can never move further to the right thus, all particles are either stationary or move left. Second, the maximum speed of a particle - defined as displacement, d (= number of sites shifted to left before pattern begins repeating), divided by period,... 

As already noted in Chapter 2 (eq. 2.23), equations (4.56) and (4.58) are in good qualitative agreement with the classical promotion literature as well. This type of equation was first discussed as an empirical observation by Boudart many year ago.123 Today we see that both experiment and theory support it. 

Trouton s rule The empirical observation that the entropy of vaporization at the boiling point (the enthalpy of vaporization divided by the boiling temperature) is approximately 85 J-K—1 -mol 1 for many liquids. 

Data were gathered during activities described in the six lessons of 100 minutes. In Activities 1-5 (in consecutive lessons) stndents worked in gronps (4-6 students), while in Activity 6 (some weeks later) stndents worked individnally. This teaching approach was adopted to promote stndents nnderstanding of how a chemical equilibrium process occurs by supporting the nse of empirical observation and... 

Convergence order At for Euler s method is based on more than the empirical observation in Example 2.4. The order of convergence springs directly from the way in which the derivatives in Equations (2.11) are calculated. The simplest approximation of a first derivative is...

The minimization of the expected risk given by Eq. (1) cannot be explicitly performed, because P(, y) is unknown and data are not available in the entire input space. In practice, an estimate of 7(g) based on the empirical observations is used instead with the hope that the function that minimizes the empirical risk 7g p(g) (or objective function, as it is most commonly referred) will be close to the one that minimizes the real risk 7(g). 

Detachment includes two processes erosion and sloughing. Sloughing is a process in which large pieces of biofilm are rapidly removed, frequently exposing the surface. The causes are not well understood. Biofilm erosion is defined as continuous removal of single cells or small groups of cells from the biofilm surface and is related to shear stress at the biofilm/fluid interface. An increase in shear stress increases the erosion rate and decreases the biofilm accumulation rate. Empirical observations indicate that the erosion rate is related to biofilm thickness and density. 

The second extrathermodynamic method that we discuss here differs from Hansch analysis by the fact that it does not involve experimentally derived substitution constants (such as o, log P, MR, etc.). The method was originally developed by Free and Wilson [29] and has been simplified by Fujita and Ban [30]. The subject has been extensively reviewed by Martin [7] and by Kubinyi [8]. The method is also called the de novo approach, as it is derived from first principles rather than from empirical observations. The underlying idea of Free-Wilson analysis is that a particular substituent group at a specific substitution site on the molecule contributes a fixed amount to the biological activity (log 1/C). This can be formulated in the form of the linear relationship ... 

Much of what is knotm about the structure response of the ECD is based on empirical observations. Clearly, the ability to correlate the response of the detector to fundamental molecular parameters would be useful. Chen and Wentworth have shorn that the information required for this purpose is the electron affinity of the molecule, the rate constant for the electron attachment reaction and its activation energy, and the rate constant for the, ionic recombination reaction [117,141,142]. in general, the direct calculation of detector response factors have rarely Jseen carried j out, since the electron affinities and rate constants for most compounds of interest are unknown. 

Predictions based on the model have been compared to observed urinary or fecal excretion of americium in humans. Model predictions agreed reasonably well with the empirical observations (Leggett 1992). 

Predictions based on the model have been compared to observed time courses for lung, liver, and skeletal americium burden in dogs that inhaled americium oxide (Mewhinney and Griffith 1983). Data on lung retention for four humans who accidentally inhaled americium were also compared to model predictions. The empirical observations fell within predicted retention patterns for particle sizes (AMAD) 0.5 and 1.8 im (Mewhinney and Griffith 1983). 

From 8 to 30 pounds [or 120 leaves, if foliage (4)] of the field sample are used penetration samples are dissected or otherwise suitably treated so as to afford several pounds of the desired anatomical portion of the field sample. [The size of the field sample and its method of collection vary tremendously for different materials—e.g., olives vs. alfalfa hay. These two parameters are under statistical investigation, but the paucity of reliable and sufficiently extensive data precludes formal publication of field sampling and processing techniques for materials other than leaves 4). A manual of processing procedure (5) has been mimeographed for guidance of personnel, based upon empirical observations as data are accumulated, it will be revised and expanded periodically. ]...
