Metal evolution

Fig. 2. Stochastic accretion models for an open system. The infalling gas is assumed to be extragalactic material with standard Big Bang nucleosynthetic abundances (Xo = 0.758, Yo = 0.242, 2D=6.5xlCP5, SBBN) and zero metals, (a) Star formation rate vs. time for the thin disk. From the top to the bottom the curves refer to 44%, 10%, 5%, 1% and no mass added, (b) Metallicity vs. time for the thin disk. From the top to the bottom the curves refer to standard case (no mass added), 1%, 5%, 10%, 44% of mass added. The metallicity evolution curve illustrates the relatively weak dilution effects that are offset by continuing star formation. Details for the Deuterium abundances are shown in Fig. 3...

Fig. 12.14. Metallicity evolution in DLAs. Curves show predicted mean metallic-ity in the interstellar gas relative to solar predicted by chemical evolution models of Pei, Fall and Hauser (1999), Pei and Fall (1995), Malaney and Chaboyer (1996) and Somerville, Primack and Faber (2001) respectively. Data points giving column-density weighted metallicities based on zinc only (filled circles) or other elements (open circles) are plotted in the upper panel taking upper limits as detections and in the lower panel taking upper limits as zeros. Horizontal error bars show the redshift bins adopted. After Kulkarni et al. (2005).

The result is that when 8 is large, stars form rapidly, roughly as in a Schmidt Law in volume density with n 2, until star formation is quenched by shocks and there is a saturation conversely, when it is small, there is a much more gradual process. Figure 12.15 shows the resulting metallicity evolution with time for different <5 s, assuming a yield p = 0.02 Z . 

The basic data for stochastic simulations of galaxies and their constituent populations and metallicity evolution is the initial mass function (IMF), which represents the mass distribution with which stars are presumed to form. Its derivation from the observed distribution of luminosity among field stars (refs. 57 and 58 and references therein) and from star clusters involves many detailed corrections for both stellar evolution and abundance variations among the observed population. The methods for achieving the IMF from the observed distribution are most thoroughly outlined by Miller and Scalo but can be stated briefly, since they also relate to an accurate testing of various proposed stochastic methods. It should first be noted that the problems encountered for stellar distributions are quite similar to those with which studies of galaxies and thdr intrinsic properties have to deal. 

It would be most useful to apply this to the field population in general. In addition, models are currently bdng studied which allow for the formation of stars of different masses by using different reaction channels in the Langevin systems of the following sections in order to see whether the IMF is a stable stochastic function of time. If it changes, the star formation rate, the metallicity evolution of the disk, and the IMF variations become inexorably linked and impossible to separate. ... 

In the one-zone picture, the metallicity evolution can be solved using the coupled star-gas evolution equations, and the same is true for this case. If we assume that the terms in the metallicity function are only spatiaUy dependent through the stellar population evolution equation, then it is possible to solve explicitly for the metallicity as a function of position in the galaxy. 

J.C. The National Museum displays a fabulous collection of artifacts from mineral, vegetable and animal evolution. It constitutes a superb place for meditation. Is alchemy correctly understood as accelerated metallic evolution or is it the science of Genesis or is it natural magic ... 

Figure 7. The star-formation and metallicity evolution history for Sculptor derived by Tolstoy et al. (2001) from Ca II triplet measurements and photometry of red giants. The upper panel shows a schematic plot of how the star formation rate may have varied over time. The lower panel shows the corresponding variation in metallicity over the same time period (dashed line). Overploted on the lower panel are the Ca II triplet measurements for individual Sculptor giants, with ages determined using isochrones.

For heavy doping, and to take into account both the finite value of cr when temperature tends to 0 K and the increase of a with T at low temperatures, Kaiser and Graham [65] proposed to modify the representation of the previous interfibril domain (index 2). They replace it (Fig. 21.22b) by two parallel domains one, whose conductivity is equal to 0-3, continues to represent the interfibril hoppings the other, an amorphous metal type, introduces into the conductivity formula a new component (T4 such that (T4(T) = (T40 + aT, where 0-40 and a are constant. For high doping levels, the metallic evolution of thermoelectric power with temperature displays a distortion at low temperatures (at around 50 K) Kaiser and Graham [63-66] take this into account by... 

In addition to the abnormal properties already discussed, aqueous hydrofluoric acid has the properties of a typical acid, attacking metals with the evolution of hydrogen and dissolving most metallic hydroxides and carbonates. 

Cadmium is a soft metal, which forms a protective coating in air, and burns only on strong heating to give the brown oxide CdO. It dissolves in acids with evolution of hydrogen ... 

A convenient form of apparatus, particularly for large classes, is shown in Fig. 84 it is identical with that used for the determination of the equivalent weight of metals by hydrogen evolution. A and H are glass tubes connected together by the rubber tubing J and securely fastened to the board B. The tube A is... 

Primary aromatic amides are crystaUine sohds with definite melting points. Upon boiling with 10-20 per cent, sodium or potassium hydroxide solution, they are hydrolysed with the evolution of ammonia (vapour turns red htmus paper blue and mercurous nitrate paper black) and the formation of the alkah metal salt of the acid ... 

Sodium, like every reactive element, is never found free in nature. Sodium is a soft, bright, silvery metal which floats on water, decomposing it with the evolution of hydrogen and the formation of the hydroxide. It may or may not ignite spontaneously on water, depending on the amount of oxide and metal exposed to the water. It normally does not ignite in air at temperatures below llSoC. 

As with other metals of the alkali group, it decomposes in water with the evolution of hydrogen. It catches fire spontaneously on water. Potassium and its salts impart a violet color to flames. 

Zinc is a bluish-white, lustrous metal. It is brittle at ordinary temperatures but malleable at 100 to ISOoC. It is a fair conductor of electricity, and burns in air at high red heat with evolution of white clouds of the oxide. 

The element has a metallic, bright silver luster. It is relatively stable in air at room temperature, and is readily attacked and dissolved, with the evolution of hydrogen, but dilute and concentrated mineral acids. The metal is soft enough to be cut with a knife and can be machined without sparking if overheating is avoided. Small amounts of impurities can greatly affect its physical properties. 

Anhydrous, monomeric formaldehyde is not available commercially. The pure, dry gas is relatively stable at 80—100°C but slowly polymerizes at lower temperatures. Traces of polar impurities such as acids, alkahes, and water greatly accelerate the polymerization. When Hquid formaldehyde is warmed to room temperature in a sealed ampul, it polymerizes rapidly with evolution of heat (63 kj /mol or 15.05 kcal/mol). Uncatalyzed decomposition is very slow below 300°C extrapolation of kinetic data (32) to 400°C indicates that the rate of decomposition is ca 0.44%/min at 101 kPa (1 atm). The main products ate CO and H2. Metals such as platinum (33), copper (34), and chromia and alumina (35) also catalyze the formation of methanol, methyl formate, formic acid, carbon dioxide, and methane. Trace levels of formaldehyde found in urban atmospheres are readily photo-oxidized to carbon dioxide the half-life ranges from 35—50 minutes (36). 

Oxygen and nitrogen also are deterrnined by conductivity or chromatographic techniques following a hot vacuum extraction or inert-gas fusion of hafnium with a noble metal (25,26). Nitrogen also may be deterrnined by the Kjeldahl technique (19). Phosphoms is determined by phosphine evolution and flame-emission detection. Chloride is determined indirecdy by atomic absorption or x-ray spectroscopy, or at higher levels by a selective-ion electrode. Fluoride can be determined similarly (27,28). Uranium and U-235 have been determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy (29). 

This is essentially a corrosion reaction involving anodic metal dissolution where the conjugate reaction is the hydrogen (qv) evolution process. Hence, the rate depends on temperature, concentration of acid, inhibiting agents, nature of the surface oxide film, etc. Unless the metal chloride is insoluble in aqueous solution eg, Ag or Hg ", the reaction products are removed from the metal or alloy surface by dissolution. The extent of removal is controUed by the local hydrodynamic conditions.
