Compounds of the general formulation M Al2(CHs)6XJi— where M = alkali metal, tetraalkylammonium ion and X = Ns, SCN", SeCN, Cl, Br, 7"—react in a visually dramatic fashion with small aromatic molecules to form non-stoichio-metric liquid complexes. In the most favorable situation, as many as 16 benzene molecules are trapped per anionic unit. Because of similarity to the well known solid-state clath-rates, the designation liquid clathrate is used for the new substances. The term is not meant to imply order as in the solid state, but to convey the method of interaction of M[Al2(C 112)6X1 unth aromatic molecules. The liquid cloth-rate may consist of either roughly spherical or layerlike domains the latter is supported by the x-ray crystallographi-cally determined structure of K CHsSe Al(CHs)s s1 2CsHs. 

Dimeihylamine, C2H7N, (CH3)2NH. Colourless, inflammable liquid with an ammoniacal odour, mp -96" C, b.p. 7°C. Occurs naturally in herring brine. Prepared in the laboratory by treating nitrosodimetbyl-aniline with a hot solution of sodium hydroxide. Dimethylamine is largely used in the manufacture of other chemicals. These include the solvents dimethylacetamide and dimethyl-formamide, the rocket propellant unsym-metrical dimethylhydrazine, surface-active agents, herbicides, fungicides and rubber accelerators.

In most diying operations, water is the liquid evaporated and air is the normally employed purge gas. For diying purposes, a psychro-metric chart found very useful is that reproduced in Fig. 12-36.

Cracking n-hutane is also similar to ethane and propane, hut the yield of ethylene is even lower. It has been noted that cracking either propane or butanes at nearly similar severity produced approximately equal liquid yields. Mixtures of propane and butane LPG are becoming important steam cracker feedstocks for C2-C4 olefin production. It has been forecasted that world LPG markets will grow from 114.7 million metric tons/day in 1988 to 136.9 MMtpd in the year 2000, and the largest portion of growth will be in the chemicals field. 

The resistance when moving one layer of liquid over another is the basis for the laboratory method of measuring absolute viscosity. Poise viscosity is defined as the force (pounds) per unit of area, in square inches, required to move one parallel surface at a speed of one centimeter-per-second past another parallel surface when the two surfaces are separated by a fluid film one centimeter thick. Figure 40.16. In the metric system, force is expressed in dynes and area in square centimeters. Poise is also the ratio between the shearing stress and the rate of shear of the fluid. 

The concept of kinematic viscosity is the outgrowth of the use of a head of liquid to produce a flow through a capillary tube. The coefficient of absolute viscosity, when divided by the density of the liquid is called the kinematic viscosity. In the metric system, the unit of viscosity is called the stoke and it has the units of centimeters squared per second. One one-hundredth of a stoke is a centistoke. 

In view of the problems referred to above in connection with direct potentiometry, much attention has been directed to the procedure of potentio-metric titration as an analytical method. As the name implies, it is a titrimetric procedure in which potentiometric measurements are carried out in order to fix the end point. In this procedure we are concerned with changes in electrode potential rather than in an accurate value for the electrode potential with a given solution, and under these circumstances the effect of the liquid junction potential may be ignored. In such a titration, the change in cell e.m.f. occurs most rapidly in the neighbourhood of the end point, and as will be explained later (Section 15.18), various methods can be used to ascertain the point at which the rate of potential change is at a maximum this is at the end point of the titration. 

In Eq. (128), the superscript V stands for the vapor phase v2 is the partial molar volume of component 2 in the liquid phase y is the (unsym-metric) activity coefficient and Hffl is Henry s constant for solute 2 in solvent 1 at the (arbitrary) reference pressure Pr, all at the system temperature T. Simultaneous solution of Eqs. (126) and (128) gives the solubility (x2) of the gaseous component as a function of pressure P and solvent composition... 

The estimation of the diffusional flux to a clean surface of a single spherical bubble moving with a constant velocity relative to a liquid medium requires the solution of the equation for convective diffusion for the component that dissolves in the continuous phase. For steady-state incompressible axisym-metric flow, the equation for convective diffusion in spherical coordinates is approximated by...

We have defined above a way of quantifying the structure of water based on the profile of fx values that encode the number of each possible joined state of a molecule. It is now possible to use this profile as a measure of the structure of water at different temperatures. As an application of this metric it is possible to relate this to physical properties. We have shown the results of our earlier work in Table 3.3. The reader is encouraged to repeat these and to explore other structure-property relationships using the fx as single or multiple variables. A unified parameter derived from the five fx values expressed as a fraction of 1.0, might be the Shannon information content. This could be calculated from all the data created in the above studies and used as a single variable in the analysis of water and other liquid properties. 

In scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) a microelectrode probe (tip) is used to examine solid-liquid and liquid-liquid interfaces. SECM can provide information about the chemical nature, reactivity, and topography of phase boundaries. The earlier SECM experiments employed microdisk metal electrodes as amperometric probes [29]. This limited the applicability of the SECM to studies of processes involving electroactive (i.e., either oxidizable or reducible) species. One can apply SECM to studies of processes involving electroinactive species by using potentiometric tips [36]. However, potentio-metric tips are suitable only for collection mode measurements, whereas the amperometric feedback mode has been used for most quantitative SECM applications. 

In Ref. 11, IT voltammograms of NH4 and N03 were obtained when a 0-pipette was exposed to vapors of ammonia and nitric acid, and linear dependence of the voltam-metric response on concentration of vapor-generating solution has been demonstrated. The surface liquid layer in all pipettes used in that work was aqueous, and only the detection of water-soluble gases was discussed. However, the detection of organic compounds in the gas phase may also be possible using a 0-pipette with a nonaqueous sensing film.
