Magnesium , equilibrium

Brunauer and co-workers [129, 130] found values of of 1310, 1180, and 386 ergs/cm for CaO, Ca(OH)2 and tobermorite (a calcium silicate hydrate). Jura and Garland [131] reported a value of 1040 ergs/cm for magnesium oxide. Patterson and coworkers [132] used fractionated sodium chloride particles prepared by a volatilization method to find that the surface contribution to the low-temperature heat capacity varied approximately in proportion to the area determined by gas adsorption. Questions of equilibrium arise in these and adsorption studies on finely divided surfaces as discussed in Section X-3. 

Of the generic aluminium alloys (see Chapter 1, Table 1.4), the 5000 series derives most of its strength from solution hardening. The Al-Mg phase diagram (Fig. 10.1) shows why at room temperature aluminium can dissolve up to 1.8 wt% magnesium at equilibrium. In practice, Al-Mg alloys can contain as much as 5.5 wt% Mg in solid solution at room temperature - a supersaturation of 5.5 - 1.8 = 3.7 wt%. In order to get this supersaturation the alloy is given the following schedule of heat treatments. 

Saturation Index an index which shows if a water of given composition and pH is at equilibrium, supersaturated or unsaturated with respect to calcium carbonate (or to magnesium hydroxide). 

Not all metals react with aqueous acids. Among the common metals, magnesium, aluminum, iron, and nickel liberate H2 as zinc does. Other metals, including copper, mercury, silver, and gold, do not produce measurable amounts of hydrogen even though we make sure that the equilibrium state has been attained. With these metals, hydrogen is not produced and it is surely not just because of slow reactions. Apparently... 

The ground material (40-mesh) is dried in vacuo at room temperature over a desiccant (magnesium perchlorate) that permits practically no water vapor pressure. An assumption was made that at room temperature and in the absence of air, decomposition and oxidation would be negligible. It was found, however, that a direct application of this reference method was not practicable from a routine standpoint, because the time to reach equilibrium was exceedingly long (6 to 9 months). 

Although phenylmagnesium bromide and zinc chloride do form an equilibrium mixture of diphenylzinc and magnesium halide, diphenylzinc is not thought to be the actual organometal-lic reagent in this addition reaction. In fact, even at room temperature, the addition reaction of pure diphenylzinc to 2-naphthaldehyde in the presence of 21 is very slow, affording little of the addition product.

Boiling-point elevation and freezing-point depression measurements have demonstrated that at all concentrations in THF and at low concentrations in ether (up to 0.1M) Grignard reagents prepared from alkyl bromides and iodides are monomeric, that is, there are few or no molecules with two magnesium atoms. Thus, part of the Schlenk equilibrium is operating...

The usual designation of Grignard reagents as RMgX is a useful but incomplete representation of the composition of the compounds in ether solution. An equilibrium exists with magnesium bromide and the dialkylmagnesium.20... 

Thus films can be divided into two groups according to their morphology. Discontinuous films are porous, have a low resistance and are formed at potentials close to the equilibrium potential of the corresponding electrode of the second kind. They often have substantial thickness (up to 1 mm). Films of this kind include halide films on copper, silver, lead and mercury, sulphate films on lead, iron and nickel oxide films on cadmium, zinc and magnesium, etc. Because of their low resistance and the reversible electrode reactions of their formation and dissolution, these films are often very important for electrode systems in storage batteries.
