Favorable conditions

Masking by oxidation or reduction of a metal ion to a state which does not react with EDTA is occasionally of value. For example, Fe(III) (log K- y 24.23) in acidic media may be reduced to Fe(II) (log K-yyy = 14.33) by ascorbic acid in this state iron does not interfere in the titration of some trivalent and tetravalent ions in strong acidic medium (pH 0 to 2). Similarly, Hg(II) can be reduced to the metal. In favorable conditions, Cr(III) may be oxidized by alkaline peroxide to chromate which does not complex with EDTA. 

An enzyme digest is the term applied to a process whereby a peptide or protein is mixed with a selected enzyme under favorable conditions to allow reaction to occur. The enzyme splits the peptide or protein into smaller units that are easier to identify. 

Under favorable conditions, low molecular weight organics may polymerize on surface of adsorbent (dialkenes, 1-alkenes, alkynes, conjugated double-bond systems, and epoxides are especially susceptible to this behavior). 

Under favorable conditions the thermite produces temperatures of about 2200°C, high enough to turn the newly formed metallic iron into a white-hot Liquid that acts as a heat reservoir to prolong and spread the heat or igniting action. 

The most favorable conditions for equation 9 are temperature from 60—75°C and pH 5.8—7.0. The optimum pH depends on temperature. This reaction is quite slow and takes place in the bulk electrolyte rather than at or near the anode surface (44—46). Usually 2—5 g/L of sodium dichromate is added to the electrolysis solution. The dichromate forms a protective Cr202 film or diaphragm on the cathode surface, creating an adverse potential gradient that prevents the reduction of OCU to CU ion (44). Dichromate also serves as a buffering agent, which tends to stabilize the pH of the solution (45,46). Chromate also suppresses corrosion of steel cathodes and inhibits O2 evolution at the anode (47—51). 

Antimicrobial agents don t necessarily fall into only one category. For example, a stedlant under various conditions that could affect its action, such as time, temperature, pH, concentration, and presence of organic matter, might become less potent and act only as a disinfectant, a bactericide, or a sanitizer. Likewise, the reverse situation is also possible—a weaker agent under favorable conditions can exert greater activity and move up in category. 

Inadequate NPSHa establishes favorable conditions for cavitation in the pump. If the pressure in the eye of the impeller falls below the vapor pressure of the fluid, then cavitation can begin. 

Even in good alloys and under favorable conditions, the a value does not lie above about 0.6. In enamelled storage tanks where the current requirement is low, the a value can fall to as low as about 0.1. The cause of the high proportion of selfcorrosion is hydrogen evolution, which occurs as a parallel cathodic reaction according to Eq. (6-5b) or by free corrosion of material separated from the anode on the severely craggy surface [2-4, 19-21]. 

The latter, which is not normally isolated, may, under favorable conditions, be trapped in the presence of a strong nucleophile, as in the conversion of 340 into 338. It was surmised that the biogenetically modelled synthesis of strychnine-type systems was a demonstration of such a reaction. 

The earliest human inhabitants of the earth were hunters and gatherers. Under favorable conditions they required at least 1.5 square kilometers to provide food for one person, and in harsher environments as much as 80 to 100 square kilometers. Population pressure eventually led humans to raise plants and animals. 

Both the Pb disc test and the steel dent test are of particular significance to stab detonators. As a matter of illustration, the steel dent test (Ref 10) consists of firing a detonator in direct end-on contact with a steel block. The depth of the dent produced is a measure of output. The depth, or better, the volume of the dent correlates well with initiation effectiveness. The low-rate detonation, which crushes nearly as much sand as high-order detonation, makes no dent in a steel plate. It has been demonstrated that the depth of the dent is proportionate to the excess of pressure over the yield strength of the steel of the dent block, integrated over the volume of the detonation head. It has been found that a detonator of 0.190-inch diameter or larger, which produces a dent 0.010 of an inch deep in a mild steel block, will initiate a lead of Tetryl or RDX under favorable conditions. Specification requirements for detonators to be used in fuses are usually at least 0.015 to 0.020 inch in depth, and many produce dents up to 0.060 inch deep... 

To summarize under favorable conditions the acidity of a-hydrogens facilitates the generation of a-sulfoxy and a-sulfonyl carbanions in thiirane and thiirene oxides and dioxides as in acyclic sulfoxides and sulfones. However, the particular structural constraints of three-membered ring systems may lead not only to different chemical consequences following the formation of the carbanions, but may also provide alternative pathways not available in the case of the acyclic counterparts for hydrogen abstraction in the reaction of bases. 

Theories neglect that catalysts usually have limited turnover numbers due to destructive side reactions. This may not be so obvious in analytical experiments but it has severe consequences for large scale applications. A simple calculation can illustrate this problem if a redox polymer with a monomer molecular weight of 400 Da and a density of 1 g cm " is considered with all redox centers addressable from the electrode and accessible to the substrate with a turnover number of 1000, then, to react 1 nunol of substrate at a 1 cm electrode surface, at least 5 pmol of active catalyst centers corresponding to 2 mg of polymer, or a dry film thickness of 20 pm are required. This is 20 times more than the calculated optimum film thickness for rather favorable conditions... 

Table III shows that any of the higher oxidation states of nitrogen can serve as a nitrosating agent. To form a nitrosamine, all that need happen is for a nitrosating agent to encounter a nitrosatable substrate under favorable conditions, which might (but need not) involve acceleration of the reaction rate by one of the chemical or physical agents indicated in Table IV.

In order to account for the nonvolatility, infusibility, and limited solubility, Leuchs postulated polymerization of the ground type cyclic compound, as indicated by the subscript x in his formula given above. It is now well established that linear polypeptides are produced on decarboxylation of the N-carboxyanhydrides of a-amino acids, and under favorable conditions the chain length may be fairly large. Leuchs favored the view that strained rings, i.e., those of other than five or six... 

Amidation is particularly well adapted to use as a polymer-forming condensation reaction. The reaction is rapid above 180° to 200°C, it is remarkably free from side reactions, no catalysts are required (indeed, none are known), and the process is of the second order so that the molecular weight increases directly as the time of reaction. Molecular weights of 20,000 to 30,000 are attainable with no great difficulty under favorable conditions. This is not true of particular polyamide reactants susceptible to side reactions, as, for example, in the reaction of a diamine with glutaric acid wherein the inherent instability of the glutaric amide unit leads to decomposition.
