Hydrogen in atmosphere

In this example, Ph2 the partial pressure of hydrogen (in atmospheres) at the surfaee of the electrode. Usually, its value will be the same as atmospheric pressure.

In 1766 Cavendish separated hydrogen from other gases and showed that it burned to water. In connection with Lavoisier s discovery of the role of airy oxygen (1777) it became clear that water is a chemical compound. Only in 1900 was Armand Gautier the first to proclaim the presence of hydrogen in atmospheric air. This was verified in 1902 by Rayleigh s spectroscopic studies in air. 

Aluminum and Hydrogen. Hydrogen [1333-74-0] is the only gas known to be appreciably soluble in soHd or molten aluminum. Hydrogen can be introduced into Hquid aluminum from reaction with moisture present in the furnace atmosphere or the refractories, or with moisture entrapped in the oxide film of the soHd aluminum before melting. The solubiUty of hydrogen in molten and soHd aluminum is shown in Table 6. 

When heated in a hydrogen chloride atmosphere, WO3 is completely volatilised at ca 500°C, forming the oxydichloride, WO2CI2. 

In the CVD coating process, the tools are heated in a sealed reactor with gaseous hydrogen at atmospheric or lower pressure volatile compounds are added to the hydrogen to supply the metallic and nonmetaUic constituents of the coating. For example, TiC coatings are produced by reaction of TiCl vapors with methane (CH and hydrogen (H2) at 900 to 1100°C. The reaction is... 

Wilkinson Hyd.rogena.tion, One of the best understood catalytic cycles is that for olefin hydrogenation in the presence of phosphine complexes of rhodium, the Wilkinson hydrogenation (14,15). The reactions of a number of olefins, eg, cyclohexene and styrene, are rapid, taking place even at room temperature and atmospheric pressure but the reaction of ethylene is extremely slow. Complexes of a number of transition metals in addition to rhodium are active for the reaction. 

The catalyst is previously prepared in an apparatus for catalytic hydrogenation, in which are placed 0.5 g. of palladous chloride, 3.0 g. of Norite, and 20 ml. of distilled water. The bottle is swept out with hydrogen and then shaken with hydrogen for 2-3 hours at 2-3 atmospheres (40 lb.) pressure. The palladium on carbon is collected on a Biichner funnel, washed with five 50-ml. portions of distilled water, then with five 50-ml. portions of 95% ethanol, and finally twice with ether. Upon drying, about 3 g. of the catalyst is obtained. It is stored in a vacuum desiccator over solid sodium hydroxide. If the reduction of the chloro-lepidine does not proceed normally, the used catalyst should be removed by suction filtration and a fresh 3-g. portion of catalyst added. Failure of the reduction step is usually due to an inactive catalyst or to impurities in the acetic acid or chlorolepidine. The palladium catalysts, prepared as described elsewhere in this volume, are presumably also satisfactory for the reduction of 2-chlorolepidine (p. 77).

Isoallospirostane-3, 11-dione (0.3 g) is hydrogenated in 50 ml of ethanol at room temperature and atmospheric pressure over a small spoonful (about 1 g) of prereduced W4 Raney nickel. After filtration and evaporation the residue is recrystallized to give an 80-85% yield of the 3yS-hydroxyl-ll-one. ... 

Reduction of 17a-EthynyI to 17a-Ethyl °° A solution of 5 g of 17a-ethynyl-androst-5-ene-3j9,17j5-diol in 170 ml of absolute alcohol is hydrogenated at atmospheric pressure and room temperature using 0.5 g of 5 % palladium-on-charcoal catalyst. Hydrogen absorption is complete in about 8 min with the absorption of 2 moles. After removal of the catalyst by filtration, the solvent is evaporated under reduced pressure and the residue is crystallized from ethyl acetate. Three crops of 17a-ethylandrost-5-ene-3) ,17j9-diol are obtained 3.05 g, mp 197-200° 1.59 g, mp 198.6-200.6° and 0.34 g, mp 196-199° (total yield 5.02 g, 90%).
