Equilibrium symbols used

This open question is symbolized by the unusual type of equilibrium arrows used in Scheme 11-2. 

Fig. 2.3. Relation between the K+ and CI concentration of geothermal waters and inclusion fluids. The solid line defines the equilibrium condition between the solution and the assemblage albite-K-feldspar at 250°C. For symbols used, see caption to Fig. 2.2. (Shikazono, 1978a).

This is usually described as the Hill equation (see also Appendix 1.2C [Section 1.2.4.3]). Here, H is again the Hill coefficient, and y and vm l, are, respectively, the observed response and the maximum response to a large concentration of the agonist, A. [A]50 is the concentration of A at which y is half maximal. Because it is a constant for a given concentration-response relationship, it is sometimes denoted by K. While this is algebraically neater (and was the symbol used by Hill), it should be remembered that K in this context does not necessarily correspond to an equilibrium constant. Employing [A]50 rather than K in Eq. (1.6) helps to remind us that the relationship between... 

In this section charges on cations or anions are omitted for sake of generality. L and H.L are used to symbolize a ligand and the corresponding uncharged Br0nsted acid. The conventional symbols used for equilibrium constants are similar to those described in Ref. (8). 

The symbols used in Section 1.5 to describe the evolution of element i concentration in the solid and the liquid during fractional crystallization will be kept. Other parameters used in the present derivation are almost identical to those of DePaolo (1981) although reference to time, which is immaterial to the mass balance and equilibrium conditions, has been omitted. Let a be the subscript representing the assimilated material, and assume that country-rocks concentration Cj is constant. Mass balance requires... 

Distribution ratio is the total analytical concentration of a substance in the organic phase to its total analytical concentration in the aqueous phase, usually measured at equilibrium. Symbol D. D shall be defined and, preferably, specified by an index if the distribution of mercury is measured, the distribution ratio is written D(Hg) or The term partition ratio is not used for the distribution ratio. 

We have therefore tried to explain the existence of an equilibrium diameter without taking into account AW. As the effective values of the distances between interfaces cannot easily be determined for the matrix (except layered structures), we developed the following approach to overcome this difficulty (for symbols used see text referring to Equations 5-9). 

The triplets p, q, r are known as the stoichiometric coefficients of the chemical components in the formation equation of the complex, and are often quoted as subscripts next to the symbol used for the formation constant, which in this case is (3, so that the equilibrium formation constant would be defined as... 

This chapter describes basic physico-chemical relations between the gas phase transport of atoms and molecules and their thermochemical properties, which are related to the adsorption-desorption equilibrium. These methods can either be used to predict the behavior of the adsorbates in the chromatographic processes, in order to design experiments, or to characterize the absorbate from its experimentally observed behavior in a process. While Part I of this chapter is devoted to basic principles of the process, the derivation of thermochemical data is discussed in Part n. Symbols used in the following sections of Part I are described in Section 5. For results, which were obtained applying the described evaluation methods in gas-adsorption chromatography, see Chapters 4 and 7 of this book. 

One of the primary aims in the study of the geochemistry of carbonates in marine waters is the calculation of the saturation state of the seawater with respect to carbonate minerals. The saturation state of a solution with respect to a given mineral is simply the ratio of the ion activity or concentration product to the thermodynamic or stoichiometric solubility product (Equation (3)). In seawater the latter is generally used and Hmingjai is the symbol used to represent the ratio. If H = 1, the solid and solution are in equilibrium if H < 1, the solution is undersaturated and mineral dissolution can occur, and if H > 1, the solution is supersaturated and precipitation should...

Kekules model for the structure of benzene is nearly, but not entirely, correct. Kekules two structures for benzene differ only in the arrangement of the electrons all of the atoms occupy the same positions in both structures. This is precisely the requirement for resonance (review Sec. 1.12). Kekule s formulas represent two identical contributing structures to a single resonance hybrid structure of benzene. Instead of writing an equilibrium symbol between them, as Kekul did, we now write the double-headed arrow (<->) used to indicate a resonance hybrid ... 

Tautomers are structural isomers, not contributors to a resonance hybrid. They readily equilibrate, and we indicate that fact by using the equilibrium symbol between their structures. 

Subscripts on B refer to vibrational states, e.g. B (equilibrium rotational constant) B, Bi, etc. (rotational constant in vibrational state labelled 0, 1, V, etc.). The symbol used for a general moment of inertia is I. I is related to B by...

Table 11.1 Symbols Used for Various Equilibrium Constant Expressions...

Unfortunately, there is no agreement among various authors about symbols to be used in thermodynamics or in equilibrium. All symbols used in this text are shown in the table of nomenclature. The general convention is to use uppercase letters for externally imposed conditions or conditions applying to whole systems, such as P, T and V, U, H, S, and to use lowercase letters for specific (or per unit mass or per mol) properties, such as v, u, h, s. For describing a property of one component in one of several phases in equilibrium, refers to the property x of component i in phase 1. If there is no possible confusion about which phase is meant, the phase superscript is dropped. This is done for mol fractions in vapor-liquid... 

In this section we concentrate on the electronic and vibrational parts of the wavefimctions. It is convenient to treat the nuclear configuration in temis of nomial coordinates describing the displacements from the equilibrium position. We call these nuclear nomial coordinates Q- and use the symbol Q without a subscript to designate the whole set. Similarly, the symbol v. designates the coordinates of the th electron and v the whole set of electronic coordinates. We also use subscripts 1 and ii to designate the lower and upper electronic states of a transition, and subscripts a and b to number the vibrational states in the respective electronic states. The total wavefiinction f can be written... 

Of the adjustable parameters in the Eyring viscosity equation, kj is the most important. In Sec. 2.4 we discussed the desirability of having some sort of natural rate compared to which rates of shear could be described as large or small. This natural standard is provided by kj. The parameter kj entered our theory as the factor which described the frequency with which molecules passed from one equilibrium position to another in a flowing liquid. At this point we will find it more convenient to talk in terms of the period of this vibration rather than its frequency. We shall use r to symbolize this period and define it as the reciprocal of kj. In addition, we shall refer to this characteristic period as the relaxation time for the polymer. As its name implies, r measures the time over which the system relieves the applied stress by the relative slippage of the molecules past one another. In summary.
