Hydration charge

The size of a polysaccharide normally refers to M or the DP—a restriction that makes no allowance for a, vex, and ty—all in a dispersion capable of being many times that of the primary structure at or near 0. Hydration, charge, i, and T are indirect determinants of size.

If the middle carbonyl group ( ) were hydrated, charge separation and repulsion would be reduced. This is because a hydroxyl group has a smaller electron-withdrawing effect than an oxygen atom. In addition, steric interaction is diminished by the fact that the OH substituents are situated out of the plane of the ring.

A number of refinements and applications are in the literature. Corrections may be made for discreteness of charge [36] or the excluded volume of the hydrated ions [19, 37]. The effects of surface roughness on the electrical double layer have been treated by several groups [38-41] by means of perturbative expansions and numerical analysis. Several geometries have been treated, including two eccentric spheres such as found in encapsulated proteins or drugs [42], and biconcave disks with elastic membranes to model red blood cells [43]. The double-layer repulsion between two spheres has been a topic of much attention due to its importance in colloidal stability. A new numeri-... 

It is also possible to explain, from hydration models, the differences between equally-charged cations, such as the alkali metals = 73,5, = 50,1 land 38.68, all in units of mor cm ). From atomic... 

Anions are usually less strongly hydrated, as indicated above, and from equation A2.4.38 this would suggest that increasing the charge on the anion should lead unequivocally to an increase in mobility and hence to an increase in limitmg ionic conductivity. An inspection of table A2.4.2 shows this to be home out to some extent by the limited data... 

It will be noted that hydration enthalpy decreases with increasing ionic radius and increases very sharply with increase in ionic charge, these results being what we should expect for an electrostate interaction between a charged ion and the dipole of a water molecule (p, 44). 

Obviously sufficient energy is available to break the A1—Cl covalent bonds and to remove three electrons from the aluminium atom. Most of this energy comes from the very high hydration enthalpy of the AP (g) ion (p. 78). Indeed it is the very high hydration energy of the highly charged cation which is responsible for the reaction of other essentially covalent chlorides with water (for example. SnCl ). 

The ability of living organisms to differentiate between the chemically similar sodium and potassium ions must depend upon some difference between these two ions in aqueous solution. Essentially, this difference is one of size of the hydrated ions, which in turn means a difference in the force of electrostatic (coulombic) attraction between the hydrated cation and a negatively-charged site in the cell membrane thus a site may be able to accept the smaller ion Na (aq) and reject the larger K (aq). This same mechanism of selectivity operates in other ion-selection processes, notably in ion-exchange resins. 

The small lithium Li" and beryllium Be ions have high charge-radius ratios and consequently exert particularly strong attractions on other ions and on polar molecules. These attractions result in both high lattice and hydration energies and it is these high energies which account for many of the abnormal properties of the ionic compounds of lithium and beryllium. 

In the presence of appropriate ligands, the values may be affected sufficiently to make Cu(l) stable but since the likely aquo-complex which Cu(I) would form is [Cu(H20)2], with only two water ligands, the (hypothetical) hydration energy of Cu is therefore much less than that of the higher charged, more strongly aquated [Cu(H20)e]. ...
