Fig. 4 illustrates the time-dependence of the length of top s water column in conical capillary of the dimensions R = 15 pm and lo =310 pm at temperature T = 22°C. Experimental data for the top s column are approximated by the formula (11). The value of A is selected under the requirement to ensure optimum correlation between experimental and theoretical data. It gives Ae =3,810 J. One can see that there is satisfactory correlation between experimental and theoretical dependencies. Moreover, the value Ae has the same order of magnitude as Hamaker constant Ah. But just Ah describes one of the main components of disjoining pressure IT [13]. It confirms the rightness of our physical arguments, described above, to explain the mechanism of two-side liquid penetration into dead-end capillaries. 

The argument for the S 2 process, when the transition from acetic acid as solvent to nitric acid as solvent is considered, is less direct, for because of the experimental need to use less reactive compounds, zeroth-order nitration has not been observed in nitric acid. It can be estimated, however, that a substance such as nitrobenzene would react about 10 faster in first-order nitration in nitric acid than in a solution of nitric acid (7 mol 1 ) in acetic acid. Such a large increase is understandable in terms of the S z mechanism, but not otherwise. 

For this type of reaction the value of the solvent deuterium isotope effect is often a conclusive argument for the proposed mechanism 16). Rate measurements of 1 in acetic acid-acetate buffers in light and heavy water resulted in an isotope effect ktiiO lkozo of 2.5, and A oac/ doac of 9. A ratedetermining proton transfer to the /3-carbon atom of the enamine has been proposed and accounts for the experimental results I6-18 Eq. (5). 

If the equipment required for absorptiometry with monochromatic beams is at hand, this method should be tried whenever instantaneous readings are not required. The simplicity of the experimental results is a powerful argument for the method.

Direct evidence of nucleation during the induction period will also solve a recent argument within the field of polymer science as to whether the mechanism of the induction of polymers is related to the nucleation process or to the phase separation process (including spinodal decomposition). The latter was proposed by Imai et al. based on SAXS observation of so-called cold crystallization from the quenched glass (amorphous state) of polyethylene terephthalate) (PET) [19]. They supposed that the latter mechanism could be expanded to the usual melt crystallization, but there is no experimental support for the supposition. Our results will confirm that the nucleation mechanism is correct, in the case of melt crystallization. 

More recently, arguments for the origin of Amontons s law have arisen that are based on experimental studies demonstrating that the shear stress as varies with the local pressure P according to Eq. [4]... 

The mechanism argument for the passive layer surface begins with the clear result that the reaction pathway is a 2e pathway (i.e., HjC ), while onbareFeitis a 4e transfer. The possible mechanisms for H202 formation are shown in Table 7.17. Comparing the predictions of Table 7.17 with the experimental results, only A and C fit. But C involves 02H+ formation on a passive layer and seems unlikely for the potential region in which the results obtained are some 0.2 positive to the pzc, i.e., repulsion of a positive radical would occur.86 Hence, the probable mechanism is A, namely. 

It is clear from this chapter that the coulombic attraction theory potential is much better adapted to explain the experimental phenomena described in Chapter 1 than the DLVO theory potential (Equation 1.2). Of course, if you predict an interaction potential, you predict force-distance curves along the swelling axis. There have been a lot of arguments about how direct measurements of forces between spherical colloidal particles refute the coulombic attraction theory. Let us get the facts first. We now examine the experimental curves for the n-butylammonium vermiculite system. 

The electronic structure of AuSb2 yielded a complex picture of electron donating and accepting levels by experimental studies. Due to this fact, Ahn et al. [8] cleared up the Fermi surface only for certain symmetry directions and gave strong arguments for the modification of the usual nearly free electron (NFE) model in that case.
