Hydration definition

Hydroxide Fe(OH)3 (Fe + plus OH ) has definite existence and there are many ill-deiined hydrates used as pigments. FeOOH has two forms goethite and lepidocrocite. Colloidal Fe(OH)3 is easily obtained as a deep red sol. Many Fe(III) hydroxy complexes are known. Fe(OH)2 may be formed from Fe and OH" in the absence of O2 but it is very readily oxidized. 

The traditional definition of a zeolite refers to microporous, crystalline, hydrated aluminosilicates with a tliree-dimensional framework consisting of comer-linked SiO or AlO tetrahedra, although today the definition is used in a much broader sense, comprising microporous crystalline solids containing a variety of elements as tetrahedral building units. The aluminosilicate-based zeolites are represented by the empirical fonmila... 

The definition above is a particularly restrictive description of a nanocrystal, and necessarily limits die focus of diis brief review to studies of nanocrystals which are of relevance to chemical physics. Many nanoparticles, particularly oxides, prepared dirough die sol-gel niediod are not included in diis discussion as dieir internal stmcture is amorjihous and hydrated. Neverdieless, diey are important nanoniaterials several textbooks deal widi dieir syndiesis and properties [4, 5]. The material science community has also contributed to die general area of nanocrystals however, for most of dieir applications it is not necessary to prepare fully isolated nanocrystals widi well defined surface chemistry. A good discussion of die goals and progress can be found in references [6, 7, 8 and 9]. Finally, diere is a rich history in gas-phase chemical physics of die study of clusters and size-dependent evaluations of dieir behaviour. This topic is not addressed here, but covered instead in chapter C1.1, Clusters and nanoscale stmctures, in diis same volume. 

Furthermore, it is the system. Hydrate I/Hydrate II (or Anhydrous Salt), that possesses a definite pressure at a particular temperature this is independent of the relative amounts, but is dependent upon the nature of the two components in equilibrium. It is incorrect, therefore, to speak of the vapour pressure of a salt hydrate. ... 

The term lime also has a broad coimotation and frequently is used in referring to limestone. According to precise definition, lime can only be a burned form quicklime, hydrated lime, or hydraiflic lime. These products are oxides or hydroxides of calcium and magnesium, except hydraiflic types in which the CaO and MgO are chemically combined with impurities. The oxide is converted to a hydroxide by slaking, an exothermic reaction in which the water combines chemically with the lime. These reversible reactions for both high calcium and dolomitic types are Quicklime... 

Bismuth trioxide may be prepared by the following methods (/) the oxidation of bismuth metal by oxygen at temperatures between 750 and 800°C (2) the thermal decomposition of compounds such as the basic carbonate, the carbonate, or the nitrate (700—800°C) (J) precipitation of hydrated bismuth trioxide upon addition of an alkah metal hydroxide to a solution of a bismuth salt and removal of the water by ignition. The gelatinous precipitate initially formed becomes crystalline on standing it has been represented by the formula Bi(OH)2 and called bismuth hydroxide [10361 -43-0]. However, no definite compound has been isolated. 

This chapter has given an overview of the structure and dynamics of lipid and water molecules in membrane systems, viewed with atomic resolution by molecular dynamics simulations of fully hydrated phospholipid bilayers. The calculations have permitted a detailed picture of the solvation of the lipid polar groups to be developed, and this picture has been used to elucidate the molecular origins of the dipole potential. The solvation structure has been discussed in terms of a somewhat arbitrary, but useful, definition of bound and bulk water molecules. 

FIG. 13 Average number of hydrogen bonds (for definition see text) as a function of p in five simulations at different levels of hydration in a Vycor pore. Full hues show the number of water-water bonds, long-dashed hnes show the number of bonds between water molecules and Vycor, and short-dashed lines denote the sum of the two. From top to bottom, the frames correspond to a water content of about 96, 74, 55, 37, and 19% of the maximum possible (corresponding to 2600, 2000,1500, 1000, and 500 water molecules in a cylindrical cavity of about 4nm diameter and 7.13 nm length). (From Ref. 24.)... 

There has been considerable discussion about the extent of hydration of the proton and the hydroxide ion in aqueous solution. There is little doubt that this is variable (as for many other ions) and the hydration number derived depends both on the precise definition adopted for this quantity and on the experimental method used to determine it. H30" has definitely been detected by vibration spectroscopy, and by O nmr spectroscopy on a solution of HF/SbFs/Ha O in SO2 a quartet was observed at —15° which collapsed to a singlet on proton decoupling, 7( 0- H) 106 Hz. In crystalline hydrates there are a growing number of well-characterized hydrates of the series H3O+, H5O2+, H7O3+, H9O4+ and H13O6+, i.e. [H(0H2) ]+ n = 1-4, Thus... 

The largest protonated cluster of water molecules yet definitively characterized is the discrete unit lHi306l formed serendipitously when the cage compound [(CyHin)3(NH)2Cll Cl was crystallized from a 10% aqueous hydrochloric acid solution. The structure of the cage cation is shown in Fig. 14.14 and the unit cell contains 4 [C9H,8)3(NH)2aiCUHnOfiiai- The hydrated proton features a short. symmetrical O-H-0 bond at the centre of symmetry und 4 longer unsymmetrical O-H - 0 bonds to 4... 

Most of the work done in the pteridine series has been concerned with the equilibria between the neutral species and the anions. This work was more fruitful than that involving the cations because all three of the values, p /, p a , and pK/ (for definitions, see Section II, A), could be determined, and, from these, ratios of the hydrated to the anhydrous forms were calculated. Furthermore, the kinetics in the... 

The similarity between humulene and caryophyllene had not escaped Chapman s notice at the time that he isolated humulene, but as he was nnable to prepare a hydrate, which is one of the easiest of the caryophyllene derivatives to obtain in a pure state, he concluded that the sesquiterpene was not identical with caryophyllene. Eecent work by fiemmler does not tend to establish the identity of the two sesquiterpenes, and unless and until further evidence to the contrary is forthcoming, humvdene may be regarded as a definite chemical individual. 

Chromic hydroxide, Cr(OH)3, is a compound with low solubility in water. It is usually hydrated and does not have the definite composition represented by the formula. It is quite soluble either in strong acid or strong base. 

Historical Introduction and Perchlorates in General History. The early history of perchlorates and the perchlorate mdustryhas been thoroughly discussed (Refs 12 14, p 2), so it will be only briefly reviewed here. Early exptl work on chlorates and perchlorates was closely tied to the discovery and identification of Cl. Several workers, notably Priestly, Lavoisier, and Scheele reported the isolation of volat liqs and gases which probably were oxides or oxyacids of Cl, but they failed to identify and characterize the compds isolated. Scheele, for example, treated muriatic ac (HCl) with Mn dioxide and obtained a volat liq which he called muriatic ac derived of its phlogiston (Ref 14, p3). The first perchlorate definitely identified was the K salt which was prepd by Stadion in 1816 by the thermal decompn of K chlorate (Ref 2). From this he prepd a hydrate of perchloric ac by heating the K salt with sulfuric ac (Ref 3). Pure (anhyd) perchloric ac was first prepd by Roscoe in 1862 by distn of the hydrated ac (Ref 4)... 

Many of the d-block elements form characteristically colored solutions in water. For example, although solid copper(II) chloride is brown and copper(II) bromide is black, their aqueous solutions are both light blue. The blue color is due to the hydrated copper(II) ions, [Cu(H20)fJ2+, that form when the solids dissolve. As the formula suggests, these hydrated ions have a specific composition they also have definite shapes and properties. They can be regarded as the outcome of a reaction in which the water molecules act as Lewis bases (electron pair donors, Section 10.2) and the Cu2+ ion acts as a Lewis acid (an electron pair acceptor). This type of Lewis acid-base reaction is characteristic of many cations of d-block elements. 

This concept covers most situations in the theory of AB cements. Cements based on aqueous solutions of phosphoric acid and poly(acrylic acid), and non-aqueous cements based on eugenol, alike fall within this definition. However, the theory does not, unfortunately, recognize salt formation as a criterion of an acid-base reaction, and the matrices of AB cements are conveniently described as salts. It is also uncertain whether it covers the metal oxide/metal halide or sulphate cements. Bare cations are not recognized as acids in the Bronsted-Lowry theory, but hydrated... 

Water as the solvent is essential for the acid-base setting reaction to occur. Indeed, as was shown in Chapter 2, our very understanding of the terms acid and base at least as established by the Bronsted-Lowry definition, requires that water be the medium of reaction. Water is needed so that the acids may dissociate, in principle to yield protons, thereby enabling the property of acidity to be manifested. The polarity of water enables the various metal ions to enter the liquid phase and thus react. The solubility and extent of hydration of the various species change as the reaction proceeds, and these changes contribute to the setting of the cement. 

There are other soUd states which sometimes confuse the measurement and definition of solubiUty. The dmg may crystaUize as a hydrate, i.e. under inclusion of water molecules. If the hydrate form is more stable than the pure form it may be difficult to measure the intrinsic solubility of the drug at all. Often drugs tend to precipitate in an amorphous form, often under the inclusion of impurities. As with metastable polymorphs, such amorphous precipitates may lead to erroneously high solubility measurements. CommerciaUy, drugs are often crystallized in salt form, e.g. as the hydrochloride salt, a cation with a chloride anion. In these co-crystallized salts, a much lower solubility than the intrinsic solubility will typi-... 

Remarkable data on primary hydration shells are obtained in non-aqueous solvents containing a definite amount of water. Thus, nitrobenzene saturated with water contains about 0.2 m H20. Because of much higher dipole moment of water than of nitrobenzene, the ions will be preferentially solvated by water. Under these conditions the following values of hydration numbers were obtained Li+ 6.5, H+ 5.5, Ag+ 4.4, Na+ 3.9, K+ 1.5, Tl+ 1.0, Rb+ 0.8, Cs+0.5, tetraethylammonium ion 0.0, CIO4 0.4, NO3 1.4 and tetraphenylborate anion 0.0 (assumption). 

In Figure 10.19a, no new compound was formed between the solute and solvent. Some solutes can form compounds with their solvents. Such compounds with definite proportions between solutes and solvents are termed solvates. If the solvent is water, the compounds formed are termed hydrates.
