Binary Compounds. The mthenium fluorides are RuF [51621 -05-7] RuF [71500-16-8] tetrameric (RuF ) [14521 -18-7] (15), and RuF [13693-087-8]. The chlorides of mthenium are RUCI2 [13465-51-5] an insoluble RuCl [10049-08-8] which exists in an a- and p-form, mthenium trichloride ttihydrate [13815-94-6], RuCl3-3H2 0, and RuCl [13465-52-6]. Commercial RuCl3-3H2 0 has a variable composition, consisting of a mixture of chloro, 0x0, hydroxo, and often nitrosyl complexes. The overall mthenium oxidation state is closer to +4 than +3. It is a water-soluble source of mthenium, and is used widely as a starting material. Ruthenium forms bromides, RuBr2 [59201-36-4] and RuBr [14014-88-1], and an iodide, Rul [13896-65-6]. 

A homogeneous mixture of two or more components, whether solid, liquid, or gaseous, is called a solution. Solutions have variable composition while pure substances do not. That is, the relative amounts of the various components in a solution can vary. Thus, air, salt water, and sixteen carat gold are each solutions. The gemstone, ruby, is also a solution since it consists of the mineral corundum (AI2O3) with some of the aluminum replaced by chromium to give the crystal its characteristic color. Since the amount of chromium present can be varied, ruby is a solution. 

For code R8 it commences with a solid with the help of AFNOR standards NF T 20-035 . Handling consists in preparing mixtures of variable compositions of an oxidant to be classified as cellulose. Both substances have to have a definite particle size distribution. The composition which gives the fastest combustion on a moulding of the mixture at a distance of 20 cm is established. This speed is compared with the one of the mixture used as a reference, which has an imposed composition of barium nitrate and cellulose. If the combustion speed of the particular substance is higher than that of the reference, it will bear R8. 

This combination has, in the past, been the base of various impact sensitive pyrotechnics, described by Haarmann [1] and more recently on the Internet, including reference to a report [2] of a mere 60-70 kg, dispersed in children s toy caps, demolishing a building in an accidental explosion. Red phosphorus is a material of variable composition and reactivity, so unreliability is to be anticipated. There have been passivating components in most of these mixtures, it is suggested that the pure dry powders will often react on contact. For the more reactive white allotrope ... 

As shown in the previous sections, identifying a small amount of a protein (in the order of tens of picomoles) represents a difficult problem for traditional methods of chemical analysis. The situation is even more complicated when a protein mixture of variable composition should be identified in a complex matrix containing dyes, oils, inorganic pigments, lime, etc. moreover, the analysed materials come often from the Middle Ages or even ancient times and the proteins in them could have undergone various modifications (e.g. oxidation, photodecomposition and microbial digestion) over the centuries. 

This appears not to be one specific compound or mixture, but is of variable composition, depending on the method of preparation. Prepared from gold chloride and aqueous ammonia, the explosive precipitate is largely (C1AuNH2)2NH, but on washing with ammonia hydrolysis to the more explosive (HOAuNH2)2NH occurs, and the equilibrium is reversed by washing with chloride. 

The samples of unknown composition—21-23 and samples 1-20, 24-34 (Appendix I) were those of Aroclors of variable composition. Variables 5-73 are isomer concentrations (Variable 74, the total PCB concentration in ppm was not included in the analysis). Variables 5-73 represent the fractional composition or isomer proportional concentration values. Representative concentration histograms of the data set are presented in Figure 13. Four PLS components were extracted and then used to estimate the Aroclor content of the unknowns and of a standard sample (No. 24). The Aroclor standard is a mixture of three Aroclors in the ratio of 033 0.33 0 0.33. Chromatograms of the samples for which the PLS estimates were made (Table VI) were similar when compared to a chromatogram of a similar mixture of standards. 

Wood chips are processed in mild chemical liquor and subjected to mechanical refining using disc refiners. Semichemical pulping liquors have variable composition ranging from sodium hydroxide alone, alkaline sulfite (sodium sulfite - - sodium carbonate), mixtures of sodium hydroxide and sodium carbonate, to Kraft green or white liquors [3]. Sodium sulfite/ sodium carbonate liquor is most commonly used and the pulp product obtained thereafter is referred to as neutral sulfite semichemical (NSSC) pulp. 

For tablet formulations a response is usually described as a function of the mixture composition. The mixture components are also the cause of a complication of the robustness problem the amount of instability caused by errors made in the composition results in a variance/covariance structure of the mixture variables which depends on the mixture composition itself. The relation between the variance/covariance structure of the mixture variables and the mixture composition itself can be derived using partial derivatives which is shown below. 

The construction of an experimental design for this separation problem is complicated because both mixture and process variables are present. The former variables, which describe the composition of a mixture in terms of fractions, usually result in design spaces which are a subspace of a simplex (e.g. of a triangle or a tetrahedron). Process variables, on the other hand, are really independent. The design space is often a square or a cube. In this paper there are four mixture variables and two process variables. The design space is therefore a part of a tetrahedron in the mixture space, and a square in the process variables space. 

Mixture variables, expressing the composition of the mobile phase as fi ac-tions, have the property that they add up to one (the mixture restriction). The consequence is that no intercept can be estimated when the effects of the solvents are evaluated [10,19]. Moreover interactions and quadratic effects, such as used when the independent variables are process variables, can not be estimated independently. Mathematically it is better to use blending effects only. Interpretation of these blending effects, i.e. explicitly stating what components are responsible for the non-linear effects, is not possible. 

Situations can be imagined, in which more than one solute has to be extracted from a sample. Such situations are, for instance, the extraction of an analyte simultaneously with an internal standard or a drug simultaneously with one or more major metabolites or co-drugs. Under these conditions, the aim of an extraction procedure is to extract all substances as quantitatively as possible. However, for each solute to be extracted the optimum composition may be located in another region of the factor space there may be no such combination of mixture variables, that guarantees optimum extraction for all substances. 

Berthollet insisted that his results supported the idea of variable composition, whose values depended upon the condition under which the reactions took place. Of special significance were the relative concentrations of the reactants. When he made these kinds of claims for the oxide of copper, Proust responded by claiming that Berthollet was expressing the composition of different mixtures of the two copper oxides whose fixed composition he had determined. 

In fact, most of us benefit from the use of catalysis. Automotive catalytic converters have represented the most massive application of environmental catalysis and one of the most challenging and successful cases in catalysis, generally. Automobile catalysts deseive a few more comments. The engine exhaust emission is a complex mixture, whose composition and flow rate change continuously depending on a variety of factors such as driving conditions, acceleration, and speed. Despite the variability of the conditions, three-way catalysts have achieved the reduction of exhaust carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and... 

Under suitable conditions solid products of variable composition may be obtained from aqueous solutions of sulphur dioxide, and hydrates containing 6 to 15 molecules of water have been described.2 It has been shown by a more recent investigation,3 however, that only one hydrate, namely S02.6HaO, is formed. This gives a eutectic with ice at —2-6° C. The so-called higher hydrates consist of mixtures of the hexahydrate with ice. 

Tables II and III are presented as an initial attempt to establish a broad correlation between crystallization and structure in terms of cation composition. The extensive assumptions and uncertainties involved are well recognized including acceptance of assignment of framework type based on similarity of x-ray powder diffraction patterns, exclusion of some polyhedral cages found in zeolite structures (62) f the relative concentrations of cations in mixtures, variables other than cation, and the possible presence of impurity cations not reported but derived from reagents or reaction vessels.

Wohler,1 however, has shown that the product of the interaction of arsine and an aqueous solution of platinic chloride or potassium chlor-platinite is a mixture of variable composition, and he was unable to obtain the hydroxyarsenide. 

A series of laboratory experiments with a pure substance (shown in Figure 2-2) will result in data for pressure, temperature, and volume. A similar series of experiments with a two-component system will result in data for additional variables. The composition of the overall mixture, the composition of the equilibrium liquid, and the composition of the equilibrium gas are all important. Therefore, in addition to plotting combinations of temperature, pressure, and volume, additional graphs with these variables plotted against composition are possible.
