Order, first

These systems are solved by a step-limited Newton-Raphson iteration, which, because of its second-order convergence characteristic, avoids the problem of "creeping" often encountered with first-order methods (Law and Bailey, 1967) ... 

Bubble-point and dew-point pressures are calculated using a first-order iteration procedure described by the footnote to Equation (7-25). 

These reactions follow first-order kinetics and proceed with racemisalion if the reaction site is an optically active centre. For alkyl halides nucleophilic substitution proceeds easily primary halides favour Sn2 mechanisms and tertiary halides favour S 1 mechanisms. Aryl halides undergo nucleophilic substitution with difficulty and sometimes involve aryne intermediates. 

If the signal y(t) is only significative (>-10 dB) on a portion T, the time-limited first order estimate hi(t), is a good approximation of the idealized medium (figure n°2a).

On compression, a gaseous phase may condense to a liquid-expanded, L phase via a first-order transition. This transition is difficult to study experimentally because of the small film pressures involved and the need to avoid any impurities [76,193]. There is ample evidence that the transition is clearly first-order there are discontinuities in v-a plots, a latent heat of vaporization associated with the transition and two coexisting phases can be seen. Also, fluctuations in the surface potential [194] in the two phase region indicate two-phase coexistence. The general situation is reminiscent of three-dimensional vapor-liquid condensation and can be treated by the two-dimensional van der Waals equation (Eq. Ill-104) [195] or statistical mechanical models [191]. 

An example of a two-stage hydrolysis is that of the sequence shown in Eq. IV-69. The Idnetics, illustrated in Fig. IV-29, is approximately that of successive first-order reactions but complicated by the fact that the intermediate II is ionic [301]... 

A monolayer undergoes a first-order reaction to give products that also form monolayers. An equation that has been used under conditions of constant total area is (t - K°°)/(ifi - t") = exp(-)kr). Discuss what special circumstances are implied if this equation holds. 

To first order, the dispersion (a-a) interaction is independent of the structure in a condensed medium and should be approximately pairwise additive. Qualitatively, this is because the dispersion interaction results from a small perturbation of electronic motions so that many such perturbations can add without serious mutual interaction. Because of this simplification and its ubiquity in colloid and surface science, dispersion forces have received the most significant attention in the past half-century. The way dispersion forces lead to long-range interactions is discussed in Section VI-3 below. Before we present this discussion, it is useful to recast the key equations in cgs/esu units and SI units in Tables VI-2 and VI-3. 

A LEED pattern is obtained for the (111) surface of an element that crystallizes in the face-centered close-packed system. Show what the pattern should look like in symmetry appearance. Consider only first-order nearest-neighbor diffractions. 

Stigter and Dill [98] studied phospholipid monolayers at the n-heptane-water interface and were able to treat the second and third virial coefficients (see Eq. XV-1) in terms of electrostatic, including dipole, interactions. At higher film pressures, Pethica and co-workers [99] observed quasi-first-order phase transitions, that is, a much flatter plateau region than shown in Fig. XV-6.

For qualitative insight based on perturbation theory, the two lowest order energy eorreetions and the first-order wavefunetion eorreetions are undoubtedly the most usetlil. The first-order energy eorresponds to averaging the eflfeets of the perturbation over the approximate wavefunetion Xq, and ean usually be evaluated without diflfieulty. The sum of aJ, Wd ds preeisely equal to tlie expeetation value of the Hamiltonian over... 

The long-range interactions between a pair of molecules are detemiined by electric multipole moments and polarizabilities of the individual molecules. MuJtipoJe moments are measures that describe the non-sphericity of the charge distribution of a molecule. The zeroth-order moment is the total charge of the molecule Q = Yfi- where q- is the charge of particle and the sum is over all electrons and nuclei in tlie molecule. The first-order moment is the dipole moment vector with Cartesian components given by... 

If the long-range mteraction between a pair of molecules is treated by quantum mechanical perturbation theory, then the electrostatic interactions considered in section Al.5.2.3 arise in first order, whereas induction and dispersion effects appear in second order. The multipole expansion of the induction energy in its fill generality [7, 28] is quite complex. Here we consider only explicit expressions for individual temis in the...
