The concentration dependence of iron corrosion in potassium chloride [7447-40-7] sodium chloride [7647-14-5] and lithium chloride [7447-44-8] solutions is shown in Figure 5 (21). In all three cases there is a maximum in corrosion rate. For NaCl this maximum is at approximately 0.5 Ai (about 3 wt %). Oxygen solubiUty decreases with increasing salt concentration, thus the lower corrosion rate at higher salt concentrations. The initial iacrease in the iron corrosion rate is related to the action of the chloride ion in concert with oxygen. The corrosion rate of iron reaches a maximum at ca 70°C. As for salt concentration, the increased rate of chemical reaction achieved with increased temperature is balanced by a decrease in oxygen solubiUty. 

Poor to modest yields of trinitromethyl compounds are reported for the reaction of silver nitroform with substituted benzyl iodide and bromide substrates. Compounds like (36), (37), and (38) have been synthesized via this route these compounds have much more favourable oxygen balances than TNT and are probably powerful explosives." The authors noted that considerable amounts of unstable red oils accompanied these products. The latter are attributed to O-alkylation, a side-reaction favoured by an SnI transition state and typical of reactions involving benzylic substrates and silver salts. Further research showed that while silver nitroform favours 0-alkylation, the sodium, potassium and lithium salts favour C-alkylation." The synthesis and chemistry of 1,1,1-trinitromethyl compounds has been extensively reviewed. The alkylation of nitronate salts has been the subject of an excellent review by Nielsen." ... 

The complex is composed of a three-lattice layer of octahedral alumina and two tetrahedral silica sheets. The aluminum is substituted to varying degrees by magnesium (with sodium or potassium for balance of electrical charge). Additional elements present in small amounts include iron, lithium, titanium, calcium, and carbon. 

We can tell from the formula of a salt how it can be produced. Write a balanced chemical equation for the production of each of the following salts (a) magnesium sulfate, (b) aluminum sulfite, (c) potassium carbonate, (d) zinc chlorate, (e) lithium acetate. 

It is feasible to breed more tritium in a lithium cooled reactor than is used in the reaction. The excess tritium can be used to start other reactors or in a reactor using some coolant other than lithium that prevents it from breeding its own tritium. Nature has been kind with the properties of lithium. It is an excellent choice for transferring heat from the reactor and it is the raw material needed for the continual production of more fuel. Both these functions can be provided by the use of liquid lithium as the blanket material. The isotopic composition of the lithium may be adjusted to provide the proper balance of lithium 6 and lithium 7 to optimum heat transfer and production of tritium. The lithium can also be diluted with metallic sodium or potassium to aid in adjusting the tritium production rate. 

Write a balanced equation for the reaction that occurs in each of the following cases (a) Potassium metal is exposed to an atmosphere of chlorine gas. (b) Strontium oxide is added to water, (c) A fresh surface of lithium metal is exposed to oxygen gas. (d) Sodium metal reacts with molten sulfur. 

The original product sold in the United States contains -30% lithium hypochlorite (35% available chlorine), 34% sodium chloride, 20% of potassium and sodium sulfates, 3% lithium chloride, 3% lithium chlorate, 2% lithium hydroxide, 1% lithium carbonate, and the balance is water. It is made from lithium sulfate that is extracted into water from a lithium aluminum silicate ore after it is treated with sulfuric acid. The resulting solution also contains sodium and potassium sulfates. It is neutralized with calcium carbonate to pH 6, treated to remove calcium and magnesium, filtered, and concentrated. Sodium hydroxide is added to convert lithium carbonate to lithium hydroxide. The solution is cooled to 0°C and the resulting sodium carbonate decahydrate crystals are removed by filtration. Slightly more sodium hydroxide than the molar equivalent of lithium hydroxide is then... 

Write the balanced chemical equation for the ionization (or dissociation) that is believed to occur when each of the following compounds dissolves in water. Nitrous acid (HNO2), barium hydroxide [Ba(OH)2], hydrofluoric acid (HF), lithium hydroxide (LiOH), hydrocyanic acid (HCN), potassium hydroxide (KOH). Use a single arrow... 

Describe, in some detail, giving some experimental conditions, how you might prepare the iodides of lithium, sodium, and potassium. Write a general balanced equation for these syntheses as part of your answer. 

On treatment with lithium, sodium, or potassium naphthalenide, the L or L linkers were partially reduced, with the charges balanced by the included Group 1 cations. A small degree of reduction was found to enhance uptake of hydrogen.
