Disopyr mide. Disopyramide phosphate, a phenylacetamide analogue, is a racemic mixture. The dmg can be adininistered po or iv and is useful in the treatment of ventricular and supraventricular arrhythmias (1,2). After po administration, absorption is rapid and nearly complete (83%). Binding to plasma protein is concentration-dependent (35—95%), but at therapeutic concentrations of 2—4 lg/mL, about 50% is protein-bound. Peak plasma concentrations are achieved in 0.5—3 h. The dmg is metabolized in the fiver to a mono-AJ-dealkylated product that has antiarrhythmic activity. The elimination half-life of the dmg is 4—10 h. About 80% of the dose is excreted by the kidneys, 50% is unchanged and 50% as metabolites 15% is excreted into the bile (1,2). 

Siddiqi-Lucas suggested that component volume fractions might be used to correlate the effects of concentration dependence. They found an average absolute deviation of 4.5 percent for nonpolar-nonpolar mixtures, 16.5 percent for polar-nonpolar mixtures, and 10.8 percent for polar-polar mixtures. 

Microprobe studies of pack-chromised iron (Cr powder, alumina, CrCl, mixture) shows that the surface Cr concentration builds up with time to 95% in 20 h at 1 300 K ", and that the diffusion coefficient for Cr in a-phase is very concentration dependent. The growth of carbides during pack-chromising and during gas-vanadising have been studied. 

The simplest case to be analyzed is the process in which the rate of one of the adsorption or desorption steps is so slow that it becomes itself rate determining in overall transformation. The composition of the reaction mixture in the course of the reaction is then not determined by kinetic, but by thermodynamic factors, i.e. by equilibria of the fast steps, surface chemical reactions, and the other adsorption and desorption processes. Concentration dependencies of several types of consecutive and parallel (branched) catalytic reactions 52, 53) were calculated, corresponding to schemes (Ila) and (lib), assuming that they are controlled by the rate of adsorption of either of the reactants A and X, desorption of any of the products B, C, and Y, or by simultaneous desorption of compounds B and C. 

Figure 4 [29] shows the (s) versus profiles for potato amylose and the amylose/amylopectin mixture from wheat starch corresponding to the concentration versus radial displacement data of Fig. 3. The s data used in the concentration dependence plot of Fig. 3 for wheat amylopectin comes from (s) vs. s analysis data of Fig. 2b and similar. The concentrations shown in the abscissa in Fig. 4 have been obtained from the total starch loading concentration normalised by the weight fraction of the amylopectin component estimated from the (s) vs. s profiles.

When the system contains more than one component it is important to be able to explore the distribution of the different components both locally and at long range. One way in which this can be achieved is to evaluate the distribution function for the different species. For example in a binary mixture of components A and B there are four radial distribution functions, g (r), g (r), g (r) and g (r) which are independent under certain conditions. More importantly they would, with the usual definition, be concentration dependent even in the absence of correlations between the particles. It is convenient to remove this concentration dependence by normalising the distribution function via the concentrations of the components [26]. Thus the radial distribution function of g (r) which gives the probability of finding a molecule of type B given one of type A at the origin is obtained from... 

Each gas establishes its own dynamic equilibrium with water. The concentration depends on the partial pressure of the gas in the atmosphere and on the value of its Henry s law constant at 25 °C. Recall from Chapter 5 that the partial pressure of any gas in a mixture is given by the mole fraction (X multiplied by total pressure. 

Approaches to the determination of the concentration-dependent terms in expressions for reversible reactions are often based on a simplification of the expression to limiting cases. By starting with a mixture containing reactants alone and terminating the study while the reaction system is still very far from equilibrium, one may use an initial rate study to determine the concentration dependence of the forward reaction. In similar fashion one may start with mixtures containing only the reaction products and use the initial rates of the reverse reaction to determine the concentration dependence of this part of the rate expression. Additional simplifications in these initial rate studies may arise from the use of stoichiometric ratios of reactants and/or products. At other times the use of a vast... 

The data generated in GC experiments is called a chromatogram, with an example shown in Fig. 14.1. Each peak represents one component of the separated mixture. The retention time ( R) is indicative of the identity of the analyte the peak height or peak is related to the amount (mass or concentration, depending on the detector) of the compound that is present. The peak width is also important, as it provides a measure of the efficiency of the separation process and how many peak compounds the method is capable of separating. 

Mn Mgi )2Si04 olivine mixture obtained by Morioka (1981). The concentration profiles are symmetric, indicating that the diffusivities are independent of the concentration of the diffusing ion. On the contrary, possible asymmetry in the diffusion profiles indicate that concentration depends significantly on the diffusing cations. In this case, the interdiffusion coefficient can be obtained by the Boltzmann-Matano equation ...
