Identifying properties

After understanding the probiem, the second step is to conduct a theoreticai screening to determine the expected thermai hazards of a system. Tabie A.l identifies properties of materiais to be considered, and some potentiai sources of information, in formuiating an opinion about the thermai hazards of particuiar materiais and reactions. 

Reaction with Acids. When one of these compounds is added to an acid solution, it destroys the identifying properties of the acid solution— all but electrical conductivity. 

U 1 Identify properties as chemical or physical, intensive or extensive. 

The notion of a pnre chemical snbstance can be related to empirically identifiable properties (e.g. sharp melting and boiling temperatures) but is nowadays understood in theoretical terms that are abstract (Johnson, 2002 Taber, 2002a). So hydrogen, methane, diamond, sodium, sodium chloride and polythene - poly(ethene) - are all considered examples of single chemical substances, although they are very different... 

It will be noted that asp2 is greater than pu v2 must be less than v and W2 (known as the streaming velocity) is positive, meaning that the explosion products travel in the same direction as the detonation wave. This positive streaming velocity is a characteristic and identifying property of a detonation wave. 

Within a crystal lattice, definite lines of cleavage are present along which a crystal may he split. This is an identifying property of ionic solids. 

The term factor is a catch-all for the concept of an identifiable property of a system whose quantity value might have some effect on the response. Factor tends to be used synonymously with the terms variable and parameter, although each of these terms has a special meaning in some branches of science. In factor analysis, a multivariate method that decomposes a data matrix to identify independent variables that can reconstitute the observed data, the term latent variable or latent factor is used to identify factors of the model that are composites of input variables. A latent factor may not exist outside the mathematical model, and it might not therefore influence... 

It would be interesting to identify properties of a catalyst that determine which of these two groups the catalysts belongs (50). 

Classification of Solvents. Solvent classification helps to identify properties useful in solvent selection for individual applications for example, the study of acid-base reactions, oxidation-reduction reactions, inorganic coordination chemistry, organic nucleophilic displacement reactions, and electrochemistry. 

The wavelength of maximum absorption, /.max, and the corresponding max are identifying properties of a compound. Units are normally omitted from specifications of e.

The biochemist needs a test, called an assay, for some unique identifying property of the protein. A positive result on the assay indicates that the protein is present. Determining an effective assay is often difficult but, the more specific the assay, the more effective the purification. For enzymes, which are protein catalysts (Chapter 8), the assay usually measures enzyme activity—that is, the ability of the enzyme to promote a particular chemical reaction. This activity is often measured indirectly. Consider the enzyme lactate dehydrogenase, which catalyzes the following reaction in the synthesis of glucose ...

When students apply the tests they have learned to a mixture of two of the five chemicals, each chemical reveals at least one of its main identifying properties (see Figure 14-1). Testing also reveals properties that are true for more than one chemical. For example, if the mixture does not mix well with water, it could contain either talc or cornstarch. In this case, students would need to perform another test to reveal a second property. For instance, if they smelled die mixture and determined it had no odor, they could rule out talc (baby powder) as a possibility and confirm that one of the chemicals is cornstarch. In this case, the absence of odor also illustrates the importance of negative test results—a concept the class will explore in greater depth in the Final Activities. 

Conditions on system properties, for example, potential surfaces, state densities, masses, and so forth, which are necessary for relaxation and which emerge from quantum ergodic theory, would be used to identify properties of molecular systems necessary and sufficient to ensure statistical reaction dynamics. 

The anti-inflammatory effects of the long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids EPA and DHA were amongst their earliest identified properties. During the last decades, many studies in both animals and humans have been done to evaluate the beneficial effects of these fatty acids on a variety of inflammatory diseases (Calder, 2006, 2007 Sijben and Calder, 2007 Simopoulos, 2002). The outcomes of theses studies have been reviewed frequently and, therefore, are not the focus of this chapter. Noticeably, the mechanism underlying the antiinflammatory effects of omega-3 fatty acids remains to be fully elucidated.
