The magnesium ion having a high hydration energy (Table 6.2) also shows hydrolysis but to a lesser extent (than either Be or AF ). The chloride forms several hydrates which decompose on heating to give a basic salt, a reaction most simply represented as (cf. p. 45) ... 

Several important generalizations can be made. The first is that fossil fuel prices are primary competition for biomass energy. Table 28 summarizes 1990 U.S. tabulations of average, consumption-weighted, deflvered fossil fuel prices by end-use sector (90). The deflvered price of a given fossil fuel is not the same to each end user ie, the residential sector normally pays more for fuels than the other sectors, and large end users pay less. 

The creation of sugar in the leaves of natural plants is considered the most efficient way of capturing solar energy. Table 1 illustrates the area of land needed to capture 27.7 x 10 kj (6.61 x 10 kcal) of solar energy (2) in various food products. 

The reaction rate of molecular oxygen with alkyl radicals to form peroxy radicals (eq. 5) is much higher than the reaction rate of peroxy radicals with a hydrogen atom of the substrate (eq. 6). The rate of the latter depends on the dissociation energies (Table 1) and the steric accessibiUty of the various carbon—hydrogen bonds it is an important factor in determining oxidative stabiUty. 

All of the world s major economies, as well as scores of smaller, low-income nations, rely mainly on hydrocarbons. Crude oil now supplies two-fifths of the world s primary energy (Table 1). There are distinct consumption patterns in the shares of light and hea vy oil products the United States burns more than 40 percent of all its liquid fuels as gasoline, Japan just a fifth and the residual fuel oil accounts for nearly a third of Japanese use, but for less than 3 percent of the U.S. total. Small countries of the Persian Gulf have the highest per capita oil consumption (more than 5 t a year in the United Arab Emirates and in Qatar) the U.S. rate is more than 2.5 t a year European means arc around 1 t China s mean is about 120 kg, and sub-Saharan Africa is well below 100 kg per capita. 

Since Rutherford s work, scientists have identified other types of nuclear radiation. Some consist of rapidly moving particles, such as neutrons or protons. Others consist of rapidly moving antiparticles, particles with a mass equal to that of one of the subatomic particles but with an opposite charge. For example, the positron has the same mass as an electron but a positive charge it is denoted 3 or f e. When an antiparticle encounters its corresponding particle, both particles are annihilated and completely converted into energy. Table 17.1 summarizes the properties of particles commonly found in nuclear radiation. 

C06-0094. Use average bond energies (Table 6-2) to compare the stabilities of ethanol, C2 H5 OH, and dimethyl ether, (CH3)2 O, which have the same empirical formula, C2 Hg O (all the bonds are single bonds). 

C06-0095. Use average bond energies (Table 6-2) to compare the stabilities of allyl alcohol,... 

This problem has two parts, one dealing with photons and the other with electrons. We are asked to relate the wavelengths of the particle-waves to their corresponding energies. Table 7J, emphasizes that photons and electrons have different relationships between energy and wavelength. Thus, we use different equations for the two calculations. 

Although it is not surprising that anions have a rather high affinity for protons, it is also found that neutral molecules bind protons with the release of energy. Table 9.3 shows the proton affinities for some neutral molecules having simple structures. 

In addition to the repulsion, the reaction enthalpy has influence on the activation energy. Table 15.14 illustrates the increments AEh of this influence, as well as the geometrical... 

Consistently with (5.30b)-(5.30e), the intermolecular charge transfer A0b a (Table 5.3, first column) clearly correlates with the strength of nB— oah interactions (Fig. 5.1), the A b h binding energy (Table 5.1, first column), and the (inverse) Rb...h distance (Table 5.1, second column). Furthermore, the transferred...
