List of species

Another example of a precipitation reaction is the process that occurs when we mix aqueous solutions of potassium hydroxide (KOH) and iron(III) chloride (FeCl3). A precipitate forms. A list of species present helps us to determine the net ionic equation describing this process ... 

To balance a reaction, we first choose a species to appear on the reaction s left side, and express that species composition in terms of a basis B. The basis might be a list of the elements in the species stoichiometry, or an arbitrary list of species that combine to form the left-side species. Then we form a second basis B composed of species that we want to appear on the reaction s right side. To balance the reaction, we calculate the transformation matrix relating basis B to B, following the procedures in Chapter 5. The transformation matrix, in turn, gives the balanced reaction and its equilibrium constant. 

Alternatively, the conservation of atomic species is commonly expressed in the form of chemical equations, corresponding to chemical reactions. We refer to the stoichiometric constraints expressed this way as chemical reaction stoichiometry. A simple system is represented by one chemical equation, and a complex system by a set of chemical equations. Determining the number and a proper set of chemical equations for a specified list of species (reactants and products) is the role of chemical reaction stoichiometry. 

The system is formally represented by a list of species, followed by a list of elements, both in arbitrary order ... 

Any software that includes matrix reduction can be used similariy. For example, wilh Maple (Watedoo Maple, Inc.), the first three steps in Example 1-3 are initiated by (1) with (linalg) (2) transpose (array ([list of species as in (1)])) (3) rref ( ). In many cases, the matrix reduction can be done conveniently by hand manipulation. 5Chemical reaction stoichiometry is described more fully on a Web site located athttp //www.chemical-stoichiometry.net. The site includes a tutorial and a Java applet to implement the matrix reduction method used in the examples here. 

As mentioned before, it is convenient to include the components in the list of species and define their equilibrium constant as in Table 1, i.e. with a P value of 1. This allows a veiy concise notation, easy to code in MATLAB (as we will see later) ...

These jumping spiders are known for their excellent vision, but there is evidence from several species that they also use pheromones for communication, as suggested by Crane (1949). More than 30 species now have been investigated, making this the most thoroughly studied family. The earlier work has been reviewed and will not be discussed in detail here (see Table 4.1 for list of species Pollard et al., 1987 Jackson, 1987). In addition, the variability of response to pheromones by individual males has been addressed (Jackson and Cooper, 1990). 

Salvia divinorum as an herb can be used quite safely and many people claim that it has proved beneficial to them. Hopefully there will not be a rush to isolate the pure compound as it is almost inevitable that it will cause problems, people will get hurt, the compound and possibly the plant will get negative attention and it will become scheduled. We will just be adding one more potentially valuable plant ally to the list of species which are already feared and condemned in our society. 

An example of different domains in a copper corrosion problem is shown schematically in Fig. 11.2. Four of the domains domains are volumetric. That is, they are three-dimensional, so concentrations of species within these domains might have units of mol/m3, for example. The volumetric domains shown correspond to the gas (G), bulk copper that is being corroded (B), an aqueous layer (A), and a layer in which corrosion products have formed (C). The list of species that can exist in one domain may be (and surely is) different from the species present in another domain. Chemical reaction rates-of-progress within a volumetric domain have units like mol/m3-s. 

In the corrosion example, we defined a layer of material containing oxidation and corrosion products. In this domain named C, for example, two phases were specified to exist, according to some particular model of the process. One of the phases is denoted CuO, and represents an oxide coating that has formed. The second phase, is designated CuS2, and contains products of an atmospheric sulfidation process. Within each phase, different chemical species may reside, for example, Cu+ ions, elemental Cu, holes, and electrons. The list of species depends on the particular reaction mechanism. 

Step 1. Let s begin by listing the species present initially before any dissociation reactions and by identifying them as acids or bases. We ll include in our list the acid HCN and the solvent H20, but won t include the species that are produced by dissociation reactions (H30+, CN-, and OH-) because they are present only in small concentrations. Since water can behave either as an acid or a base, our list of species present initially is... 

A select list of species containing sulfur plus an additional heteroatom is given in Table III. These groups of compounds have been observed in coal derived products from various sources. To be able to make reasonable comparisons only data from bituminous coals are used. Possible structures for the formulae given in Table III are shown in Scheme I. It should be emphasized that further information is necessary to positively assign structures. The viability of these structural assignments will be discussed in the next three sections. 

The apparent lack of any systematic derivation of the list of species in the category of quality has not gone unnoticed by scholars. J.L. Ack-rill is representative ... 

The regimented interpretation can also go some way toward answering another of Ackrill s worries. Ackrill claims that Aristode does not deduce the list of species in the category of quality from any sort of principle. The differentiation of the genus, dispositions, though, can be seen as a deduction of the species under it. The species are derived...

Though the fauna is undoubtedly mixed, a part of it is certainly of a similar geological age, and therefore Kretzoi (1953) employed the term Suttdian biozone . According to Kormos (1925), I present the following list of species with numbers of specimens... 

When a program is to be used many times, it should have just one argument so that it can be applied to a list of species properties using Map in Mathematica. This can be done with the program calcpK298is (14). This program derives a list of functions of ionic strength that yield the successive pfc of a reactant at 298.15 K. 

Phase equilibria of vaporization, sublimation, melting, extraction, adsorption, etc. can also be represented by the methods of this section within the accuracy of the expressions for the chemical potentials. One simply treats the phase transition as if it were an equilibrium reaction step and enlarges the list of species so that each member has a designated phase. Thus, if Ai and A2 denote liquid and gaseous species i, respectively, the vaporization of Ai can be represented stoichiometrically as —Aj + A2 = 0 then Eq. (2.3-17) provides a vapor pressure equation for species i. The same can be done for fusion and sublimation equilibria and for solubilities in ideal solutions. 

The tableau comprises a list of components, a list of species, the stoichiometric matrix, and the log K vector for the species formed from the components. The rows of the matrix give the stoichiometric coefficients for forming each...

The terms components and species in chemistry have specific meanings different from those in common parlance. There are a limited number of components, which define the composition of the solution. Species are chemical entities that actually occur in the solution. Each species can be obtained as a product of chemical reaction from components, but a component cannot be obtained as a product of chemical reaction from other components. For example, in aqueous NaCl, there are two components, namely water and NaCl, and numerous species, namely water and the ions H iaq), OH (aq), Na taq), and Cr(aq). The above list of species is usually sufficient to describe the behavior of dilute solutions, but it is not complete. Specific problems may require consideration of other species, such as ion pairs in aqueous NaCl. The concept of components and species was originally introduced in solution chemistry, but it can also be used in surface... 

Species composition and biodiversity of the Aral phytoplankton have changed dramatically since the early 1970s [2, 26 and citations therein]. Before this period, the list of species numbered 375 with the domination of Bacillariophyta and Chlorophyta species [27], The most abundant species in the central parts of the sea was Actinocyclus ehrenhergii var. crassa [28]. In the 1970-1980s, not only did most brackish water species disappear from the Aral Sea, but also some marine species. In this period, the biodiversity of the phytoplankton community decreased from 306 to 250 species with the predominance of Bacillariophyta, Cyanophyta, and Chlorophyta [18,29]. In 1999-2002, the number of species dropped to 159 with the absolute dominance of Bacillariophyta (115 species) [26]. 

More fundamentally, the current data model does not provide any way to document why some chemical reactions were included in the simulation, while others were left out. Typically, a large number of assumptions about which reactions/species are likely to be important (under the reaction conditions of interest to the simulation s author) are made by the person (or computer program) who assembles the list of species and reactions, based on his or her (or its) chemistry knowledge. Because the current data model does not provide any convenient way to document these assumptions, most of these assumptions are never documented at all, and this contributes to the impression that this information is not worth recording. The fact that it is usually very difficult to uncover complete information about the assumptions behind a reaction list... 

This task is not trivial even in the case of the simplest hydrocarbons (C1-C4). Indeed, there are obvious participants in the process—initial reactants (hydrocarbon and oxidant), total oxidation products (water, C02), intermediates (target and side partial oxidation products). But already here we are facing a dilemma. The broader the list of species included (composition and structure of which do not contradict the chemical sense and which can be at least in principle present in the reaction mixture), the less definite is the available information about the kinetics of their transformation. 

The most consistent way to develop a theoretical kinetic model of a complex process can be described as follows. First, we determine the list of species participating in the process, and then compile a set of elementary reactions based on the fullness principle. The most logical step after this would consist of ab initio calculations of kinetic parameters for elementary reactions included into the model (kinetic scheme). If the parameters calculated in this way are in significant contradiction with values obtained from independent experiments, this should cause a re-consideration of the underlying principles of both the calculations and the experimental measurements. However, this must not influence the core of the model and values of other kinetic parameters. 

An English translation of Cronstedfs book (1788) contained the same list of species and varieties cited previously, but also reported the chemical analysis of Kirwan as well as an observation by Fabroni, deputy-director of the Museum of Physics and Natural History of Florence. Fabroni observed that colored mica was dissolved by acqua regia or muriatic acid to produce a liquid that is yellow on account of iron.
