Hydrogen salt effect

Absorption of Hydrogen Chloride. Effective heat stabilizers have the abiHty to bind hydrogen chloride. Most stabilizer systems contain one or more metallic soaps or salts which readily undergo a simple acid—base reaction with the by-product hydrogen chloride as the PVC degrades ... 

Bell has calculated Hq values with fair accuracy by assuming that the increase in acidity in strongly acid solutions is due to hydration of hydrogen ions and that the hydration number is 4. The addition of neutral salts to acid solutions produces a marked increase in acidity, and this too is probably a hydration effect in the main. Critchfield and Johnson have made use of this salt effect to titrate very weak bases in concentrated aqueous salt solutions. The addition of DMSO to aqueous solutions of strong bases increases the alkalinity of the solutions. 

The special salt effect is a constant feature of the activation of substrates in cages subsequent to ET from electron-reservoir complexes. In the present case, the salt effect inhibits the C-H activation process [59], but in other cases, the result of the special effect can be favorable. For instance, when the reduction of a substrate is expected, one wishes to avoid the cage reaction with the sandwich. An example is the reduction of alkynes and of aldehydes or ketones [60], These reductions follow a pathway which is comparable to the one observed in the reaction with 02. In the absence of Na + PFg, coupling of the substrate with the sandwich is observed. Thus one equiv. Na+PFg is used to avoid this cage coupling and, in the presence of ethanol as a proton donor, hydrogenation is obtained (Scheme VII). 

Since much work has gone into eventually disproving this mechanism for hydrogen exchange it is worth examining the soundness of the experimental data upon which the theory was based. Firstly, the log rate coefficient versus acidity function plots should have had unit slopes and the fact that they did not was attributed to salt effects. Secondly, different rate coefficients were obtained at the... 

Certain metal salts effectively reduce the photoactivity of titanium dioxide pigments. Combination of these salts with an appropriate antioxidant and/or ultraviolet stabilizer provided highly efficient stabilization of polypropylene. The deactivation/ stabilization performance of the metal salts is adequately explained on the basis of their decomposition of hydrogen peroxide at the pigment surface and by annihilation of positive holes in the pigment crystal lattice. 

The secondary salt effect is important when the catalytically active ions are produced by the dissociation of a weak electrolyte. In solutions of weak acids and weak bases, added salts, even if they do not exert a common ion effect, can influence hydrogen and hydroxide ion concentrations through their influence on activity coefficients. 

In the most common case z = 0, and the secondary salt effect implies that the hydrogen ion concentration will increase with increasing ionic strength. However, the direction of the effect is determined by the sign of the quantity (z - 1). 

As already treated in the hydrogen section, isotope fractionations, the hydration of ions may play a significant role in hydrothermal solutions and volcanic vapors (Driesner and Seward 2000). Such isotope salt effects may change the oxygen isotope fractionation between water and other phases by several permil. 

It was later proposed that more suitable extractants to overcome, and also measure, the salt effects which displace hydrogen ions in a seasonal manner would be either 0.1 M KCI or 0.01 M CaCl2, with the latter being more widely used (Schofield and Taylor, 1955).
