Inorganic substance

The solubility behavior of acids, bases, and their salts is characterized by a significant dependence on the pH value. Typical solubUity as a function of pH profiles result, which is of particular importance for pharmaceutically relevant salts. 

The general trend of a solubility curve can be derived from the Le Chatelier s principle considering the dissolution process as a reaction of breaking and forming new bonds, such as breaking ionic bonds in an ionic crystal (of a salt) and formation of (weak) electrostatic ion-dipole interactions due to hydration of the ions, for example, according to 

The appropriate reaction enthalpy is the solution enthalpy. In case of an endother-mal solution enthalpy, the equilibrium shifts with higher temperature to higher solubilities, and thus results in a positive slope of the solubility curve. On the other hand, an exothermal dissolution process leads to a retrograde solubility behavior. In most cases, the heat of solution is positive, that is, most substances dissolve with absorption of heat. This means that the (positive) lattice enthalpy exceeds the (negative) solvation enthalpy or more energy has to be spent to break the lattice than is evolved by solvation. 

the most frequent cases where solubility increases with temperature are shown. It becomes clear that when applying the melting enthalpy in Equation 3.8, a negative slope of the line always results, implying a positive slope of the solubility curve. Thus, retrograde solubility can only be explained with the solution enthalpy that can possess negative values.

Surface heterogeneity is difficult to remove from crystalline inorganic substances, such as metal oxides, without causing large loss of surface areas by sintering. Thus in Fig. 2.14 in which the adsorbent was rutile (TiO ) all three adsorbates show a continuous diminution in the heat of adsorption as the surface coverage increases, but with an accelerated rate of fall as monolayer completion is approached. 

A factor militating against the use of other adsorptives for pore size determination at the present time is the lack of reliable r-curves. The number of published isotherms of vapours such as benzene, carbon tetrachloride or the lower alkanes, or even such simple inorganic substances as carbon dioxide, on a reasonable number of well-defined non-porous adsorbents, is very small. 

Thus, either the emitted light or the ions formed can be used to examine samples. For example, the mass spectrometric ionization technique of atmospheric-pressure chemical ionization (APCI) utilizes a corona discharge to enhance the number of ions formed. Carbon arc discharges have been used to generate ions of otherwise analytically intractable inorganic substances, with the ions being examined by mass spectrometry. 

Heating inorganic substances to a high temperature on a metal filament yields characteristic positive ions that can be mass analyzed for m/z value and abundance to obtain accurate isotope ratios.

Commercial lecithin is insoluble but infinitely dispersible in water. Treatment with water dissolves small amounts of its decomposition products and adsorbed or coacervated substances, eg, carbohydrates and salts, especially in the presence of ethanol. However, a small percentage of water dissolves or disperses in melted lecithin to form an imbibition. Lecithin forms imbibitions or absorbates with other solvents, eg, alcohols, glycols, esters, ketones, ethers, solutions of almost any organic and inorganic substance, and acetone. It is remarkable that the classic precipitant for phosphoHpids, eg, acetone, dissolves in melted lecithin readily to form a thin, uniform imbibition. Imbibition often is used to bring a reactant in intimate contact with lecithin in the preparation of lecithin derivatives. 

Nitric acid can be used for the dissolution of nickel from many inorganic substances. In some cases perchloric acid is used in combination with nitric acid. Simple organic forms of nickel also can be dissolved in nitric acid. In the case of compHcated stmctural organic forms of nickel, oxidation calorimetry must be used to decompose the substances.

Aromatic amines form addition compounds and complexes with many inorganic substances, such as ziac chloride, copper chloride, uranium tetrachloride, or boron trifluoride. Various metals react with the amino group to form metal anilides and hydrochloric, sulfuric, or phosphoric acid salts of aniline are important intermediates in the dye industry.
