Limiting factors problems involving

Mathematical Models. As noted previously, a mathematical model must be fitted to the predicted results shown In each factorial table generated by each scientist. Ideally, each scientist selects and fits an appropriate model based upon theoretical constraints and physical principles. In some cases, however, appropriate models are unknown to the scientists. This Is likely to occur for experiments Involving multifactor, multidisciplinary systems. When this occurs, various standard models have been used to describe the predicted results shown In the factorial tables. For example, for effects associated with lognormal distributions a multiplicative model has been found useful. As a default model, the team statistician can fit a polynomial model using standard least square techniques. Although of limited use for Interpolation or extrapolation, a polynomial model can serve to Identify certain problems Involving the relationships among the factors as Implied by the values shown In the factorial tables. 

Many partial rate factors are available for the substitution reactions of the other alkylbenzenes, ethylbenzene, i-propylbenzene, and t-butyl-benzene, in addition to the 60 reactions of toluene. The data for these compounds are subject to the same limitations and restrictions described for toluene. The minor uncertainties which do exist are related to the experimental problems involved in the analysis for the small concentration of meta isomer. Rate data for the ortho and para positions are precise (Tables 10, 11, and 12). 

The atomic masses involved are H, 1.008 of S, 32.066. The molecular mass of H2S is 2(1.008) + 32.066 = 34.08. Note that it is not necessary to express the molecular mass to 0.001 u, even though the atomic masses are known to this significance. Since the limiting factor in this problem is n(H2S), known to one part in 400, the value 34.08 (expressed to one part in over 3000) for the molecular mass is more than adequate. This a time-saving device if you had used the complete atomic masses, your answer would be the same. 

For each of these problems find out which reactant is the limiting factor. Then calculate the number of grams of water made and the number of moles of excess. Use the following balanced equation for the combustion involved in a propane heater. 

Selection of the analytical instrumentation for the analysis of the pyrolysate is a very important step for obtaining the appropriate results on a certain practical problem. However, not only technical factors are involved in this selection the availability of a certain instrumentation is most commonly the limiting factor. Gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) are, however, the most common techniques utilized for the on-line or off-line analysis of pyrolysates. The clear advantages of these techniques such as sensitivity and capability to identify unknown compounds explain their use. However, the limitations of GC to process non-volatile samples and the fact that larger molecules in a pyrolysate commonly retain more structural information on a polymer would make HPLC or other techniques more appropriate for pyrolysate analysis. However, not many results on HPLC analysis of pyrolysates are reported (see section 5.6). This is probably explained by the limitations in the capability of compound identification of HPLC, even when it is coupled with a mass spectrometric system. Other techniques such as FTIR or NMR can also be utilized for the analysis of pyrolysates, but their lower sensitivity relative to mass spectrometry explains their limited usage. 

Several stable isotopes are currently available, such as N, C and 0. Compounds labelled with stable isotopes are useful because they involve no radiation hazard in human experiments. The disadvantage, however, is the problem of quantitative assay. Mass spectrometry may be used, but problems of sensitivity and cost of instrumentation are limiting factors.
