Linear relationship between the concentrations

Frequently linear correlations exist between the concentrations as has been stated in Section 2.1.1. The index ° symbolises that the law of conser- 

If one combines the columns of the matrix L (which belong to the vector of the linear independent concentration a ) to the matrix LI and combines the columns, which belong to the vector of the linear dependent concentrations a°, to the matrix L2, then one can rewrite eq. (5.48) in the following form  

Under these conditions LI is a p x matrix with the elements 

This equation determines the linear dependent concentrations a as a function of the linear independent ones a. The matrix L2 LI has the dimension pxs. Next a combination matrix of the dimension nxs 

At first this vector b consists of s zero elements, p elements follow, which are created by multiplication of the inverse matrix with the vector b. Combining eq. (5.53) with the fundamental equation (5.42) one finds

Since the majority of the elements in surface dust arise from deposited aerosol and added soil it is not surprising to find strong linear relationships between the concentrations of the elements in an atmospheric dust and street or house dust. This is illustrated by the two examples given in Fig. 8 for remote house dust vs urban atmospheric dust and street dust vs rural atmospheric dust. As discussed above crustal/soil material is a major component of atmospheric dust and the soil based elements in the atmospheric dust are Al, Ca, Fe, Mg, Mn, Ni, K, Si and Ti. The elements As, Br, Cd, Cl, Co, Cu, Pb, Rb, Se, V, and Zn are, on the other hand, enriched in atmospheric dust. The same elemental distribution applies to surface dust, but in this case their concentrations (compared on a mass basis) are reduced presumably due to dilution with soil. However, the elements enriched in the atmosphere remain enriched in the surface dusts. 

In the calculation results (Fig. 14.6), increasing the CO2 fugacity decreases the pH to about 6, causing calcite to dissolve into the fluid. The fugacity increase drives CO2 from the buffer into the fluid, and most of the CO2 (Fig. 14.7) becomes C02(aq). The nearly linear relationship between the concentration of C02(aq) and the fugacity of C02(g) results from the reaction... 

A typical example arises from Beer-Lambert s law. In spectrophotometry, it describes the linear relationship between the concentration of a chemical species and the measured absorbance at a particular wavelength. The corresponding coefficients are called molar absorptivities. They are specific for each species and wavelength. We refer to Chapter 3.1, Beer-Lambert s Law, for a more detailed introduction of Beer-Lambert s law. 

Of the many possible boundary and initial conditions for Eq. (1-38), we consider in this book only uniform concentration at the particle surface, uniform concentration in the continuous phase far from the particle, and uniform initial concentrations in each phase. In addition, the interface is taken to be at an equilibrium described by a linear relationship between the concentrations in each phase ... 

The calculation of Kd shown above assumes a linear relationship between the concentration sorbed and the concentration of the chemical in the aqueous phase (i.e., a linear isotherm). If sorption was known to be non-linear, the Freundlich constant, N, would need to be known or an estimate of it would need to be made. Generally values of N range from 0.7 to 1.2. 

Shaw and Bell (1991) examined this effect in the case of competition between radiocaesium and the K+ and NH4+ ions during root uptake by wheat (Triticum aestivum). These authors formalised the observed relationships in terms of classical Michaelis-Menten kinetics which necessitates the assumption that each of these ions is taken up by identical sites associated with the root plasmalemma. Lembrechts et al. (1990) found a similar negative and non-linear relationship between the concentration of Ca either in soil or in solution culture and the degree of radiostrontium uptake by lettuce Lactuca saliva). The principle of competitive exclusion of a radionuclide by an ion analogue may be exploited, with varying degrees of success, as a post-con-... 

A similar linear relationship between the concentrations of povidone and solubilized active ingredient was found for sulindac [604]. 

The relationship of pH to hydrogen ion concentration (in nanomoles per liter). The normal blood pH of 7.40 corresponds to 40 nmol/L of H. The solid straight line is drawn to show the linear relationship between the concentration of H" and pH, over the pH range of 7.20-7.50. A 0.01 -unit change in pH is equivalent to about 1.0 nmol/L change in the opposite direction. 

At 8.72 M HBr, a linear relationship between the concentration of Se(lV) and the solubility of Se(0) was recorded for [Se(IV)] < 0.0165 M, and a constant Se(0) solubility above this value. The linear part of the curve was used to eonclude that the average oxidation state of selenium in these solutions was (1.49 + 0.03). On this basis and the positions of three Raman bands, an equilibrium constant for the reaction... 

The intensity of the effect depends on the composition of the solutions involved, becoming more pronounced for more concentrated solutions and/or when solution inter-mixing is slower. A linear relationship between the concentration of the Schlieren-generating species and the intensity of the effect is not observed [3]. 

In the discussion of the mechanism of chromatographic separation, it was tacitly assumed that the distribution coefficient is a constant, which, in other words, means occurence of a linear relationship between the concentration of the sample molecules in the stationary and mobile phases irrespective of the quantity of the sample. An elution peak with a Gaussian distribution in the chromatogram is taken to represent such a situation, namely, that the isotherm of the relationship ... 

An alternate method of calibration is the Method of Standard Additions (MSA) calibration. This calibration method requires that known amounts of the analyte be added directly to the sample, which contains an unknown amount of analyte. The increase in signal due to the added analyte (e.g., absorbance, emission intensity) permits us to calculate the amount of analyte in the unknown. For this method of calibration to work, there must be a linear relationship between the concentration of analyte and the signal. 

In both of the foregoing examples, the consistent (linear) relationship between the concentration of the carcinogenic entity and the dose level below the pharmacokinetic threshold yields consistent estimates for the parameter 3 over this dose range. However inconsistent estimates of 3 derived from dose levels above the pharmacokinetic threshold arise from the nonlinear relationship between the concentration of the entity inducing the carcinogenic response and the dose level. 

Discussions of OH groups in the context of catalysis normally focus on their role as active centers in a number of reactions. The work by Haag et al. (94) constitutes a classic example the authors estahhshed a linear relationship between the concentration of aluminum in HZSM-5 (which imphes an equal concentration of bridging hydroxyls) and the activity for cracking of -hexane. It was concluded that aU protonic acid sites in the zeohte are characterized by the same turnover frequency. Many other correlations between catalytic properties of materials and the strength and/or density of their Bronsted acid sites are well estabHshed. We will not discuss this aspect in detail and recommend instead a number of recently pubhshed reviews (59,60,87). Two more points are worth mentioning. One point is that the cooperative action of Bronsted and Lewis acid sites has been demonstrated. The second is that, of course, OH groups must not necessarily be involved in a catalytic conversion in fact, they can even block the catalyt-icaUy active sites. 

ADP-ribosylation in mitochondria. We investigated ADP-ribosyl transferase and NAD-glycohydrolase activities in rat liver mitochondria and mitoplasts (IS) as well as in rat brain synaptic and non-synaptic mitochondria (16). The time course of ADP-ribosyl transferase activity in synaptic and non-synaptic rat brain mitochondria was similar to that reported in rat liver mitochondria. A linear relationship between the concentration of mitochondrial proteins used and enzyme activity could be demonstrated. The velocity of the reaction reached a plateau at approximately 400 ug of protein. On protein basis the total ADP-ribosyl transferase activity in rat liver and rat brain synaptic and non-synaptic mitochondria was quite similar 23.7 1.8 22.7 2.2 19.7 1.5 pmol/mg protein at 37°C, 10 min, respectively. 

The correctness of first-order reaction kinetics is in accordance with the fact that the product distribution did not change with the severity of the reaction, as illustrated in Figure 8 for experiments made at 450 C. Consequently, it is possible to obtain a linear relationship between the concentration of products and the residence time of the reaction the slopes of the straight... 

The concentrations of allyl radical in the present experiments were estimated by means of the rate equation below. A second-order rate constant kQ for recombination of allyl radical to diallyl was approximated to be 5,0xlO l/mol sec by extrapolation from the value reported by Golden et al. (22), The rate of diallyl formation was obtained from the linear relationship between the concentration of diallyl and the residence time as mentioned above. This rate is substituted in the following equation in order to calculate the allyl radical concentration. 

The 5-hexenyl radical cyclization rate and other intramolecular radical isomerization rates have been used as a kinetic standard by Garst since 1969540b 6y Kochi since 1970. According to Scheme 164, a linear relationship between the concentration of the transfer reagent [XY] and the relative yields of uncyclized products [AY] and methylcyclopentane derivatives [Cy5Y] must obtain according to the following equation ... 

The advantages of this method are (/) there is a linear relationship between the concentration of ketosteroid and optical density over a wide range of steroid concentration, and (2) a correction may be applied for chromogens which interfere in this analysis. The major drawback of this procedure is the instability of the ethanolic potassium hydroxide solution which must either be prepared freshly every few days or suitably preserved (58,131). It should also be noted that the major urinary ketosteroids do not have equal extinction coefficients under the conditions proposed by Callow. Etiocholane-3a-ol-17-one gives significantly more color than an-drosterone, epiandrosterone, or dehydroepiandrosterone (93,130). 

Akimoto and Echigoya have studied the oxidation of butadiene on a Mo-Ti catalyst. They observed a linear relationship between the concentration of Mo species and rate of CO2 formation. However, rate of MA formation increases nonlinearly. It was concluded that only one Mo site is involved in the rate-controlling step during CO2 formation, whereas more than one site was necessary for MA formation. They also conclude from their...
