Molarity determination

The reagent must be kept cold at all times because at room temperature the active reagent slowly decomposes and the mixture darkens considerably. Once prepared the reagent can be stored at -20°C (freezer) 1n a well-sealed flask without a significant loss of activity. A sample stored in this way for 1 year showed only a slight, 5-10%, loss of activity. The molar activity of the active reagent is equivalent to the titanium tetrachloride (TiCl ) molarity (determined by reaction with excess ketone followed by GLC analysis) however, an increase in the proportion of TiCl makes no difference to the molar activity. 

The computation of pure-component and mixture enthalpies is implemented by FORTRAN IV subroutine ENTH, which evaluates the liquid- or vapor-phase molar enthalpy for a system of up to 20 components at specified temperature, pressure, and composition. The enthalpies calculated are in J/mol referred to the ideal gas at 300°K. Liquid enthalpies can be determined either with... 

Standard-state fugacities at zero pressure are evaluated using the Equation (A-2) for both condensable and noncondensable components. The Rackett Equation (B-2) is evaluated to determine the liquid molar volumes as a function of temperature. Standard-state fugacities at system temperature and pressure are given by the product of the standard-state fugacity at zero pressure and the Poynting correction shown in Equation (4-1). Double precision is advisable. 

The partial molar entropy of adsorption AI2 may be determined from q j or qsi through Eq. XVII-118, and hence is obtainable either from calorimetric heats plus an adsorption isotherm or from adsorption isotherms at more than one temperature. The integral entropy of adsorption can be obtained from isotherm data at more than one temperature, through Eqs. XVII-110 and XVII-119, in which case complete isotherms are needed. Alternatively, AS2 can be obtained from the calorimetric plus a single complete adsorption isotherm, using Eq. XVII-115. This last approach has been recommended by Jura and Hill [121] as giving more accurate integral entropy values (see also Ref. 124).

Curves (a) and (6) were determined by Raman measurements using the 1400 cm band while curve (c) was derived from infra-red measurements on the 237s cm band. Unity on the NO2+ concentration scale was determined to be 5-6 molar ( 2S 8 weight %). (From Olah et...

The normal boiling point of 2-methylthiazole is 17 0= 128.488 0.005°C. The purity of various thiazoles was determined cryometrically by Handley et al. (292), who measured the precise melting point of thiazole and its monomethyl derivatives. Meyer et al. (293, 294) extended this study and, from the experimental diagrams of crystallization (temperature/degree of crystallization), obtained the true temperatures of crystallization and molar enthalpies of fusion of ideally pure thiazoles (Table 1-43). 

The heat capacity of thiazole was determined by adiabatic calorimetry from 5 to 340 K by Goursot and Westrum (295,296). A glass-type transition occurs between 145 and 175°K. Melting occurs at 239.53°K (-33-62°C) with an enthalpy increment of 2292 cal mole and an entropy increment of 9-57 cal mole °K . Table 1-44 summarizes the variations as a function of temperature of the most important thermodynamic properties of thiazole molar heat capacity Cp, standard entropy S°, and Gibbs function - G°-H" )IT. 

Similarly, molar excess functions have been determined for various thiazole-solvent binary mixtures (Table 1-46) (307-310). 

The molar diamagnetic susceptibility of thiazole and some derivatives was initially determined by the classical Curie-Cheneveau method (5,315,316) and later confirmed by a method (317) based on the difference of NMR proton chemical shift of a sample of tetramethylsilane immersed in the liquid to be investigated, according to the shape (cylindrical or spherical) of the sample tube (Table 1-47) (318),...

This experiment describes a method for determining the acidity, reported as an equivalent molarity of H2SO4, of rain water. Because the volume of standard base needed to titrate a sample of rain water is small, the analysis is done by a standard addition. A 10.00-mL sample of nominally 0.005 M H2SO4 is diluted with 100.0 mL of distilled water and standardized by titrating with 0.0100 M NaOH. A second 10.00-mL sample of the sulfuric acid is mixed with 100.0 mL of rain water and titrated with the same solution of NaOH. The difference between the two equivalence point volumes... 

When standardizing a solution of NaOH against potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHP), a variety of systematic and random errors are possible. Identify, with justification, whether the following are systematic or random sources of error, or if they have no effect. If the error is systematic, then indicate whether the experimentally determined molarity for NaOH will be too high or too low. The standardization reaction is...

Isomerization of cyclohexane in the presence of aluminum trichloride catalyst with continuous removal of the lower boiling methylcyclopentane by distillation results in a 96% yield of the latter (54). The activity of AlCl -HCl catalyst has been determined at several temperatures. At 100°C, the molar ratio of methylcyclopentane to cyclohexane is 0.51 (55).

Resoles. Like the novolak processes, a typical resole process consists of reaction, dehydration, and finishing. Phenol and formaldehyde solution are added all at once to the reactor at a molar ratio of formaldehyde to phenol of 1.2—3.0 1. Catalyst is added and the pH is checked and adjusted if necessary. The catalyst concentration can range from 1—5% for NaOH, 3—6% for Ba(OH)2, and 6—12% for hexa. A reaction temperature of 80—95°C is used with vacuum-reflux control. The high concentration of water and lower enthalpy compared to novolaks allows better exotherm control. In the reaction phase, the temperature is held at 80—90°C and vacuum-refluxing lasts from 1—3 h as determined in the development phase. SoHd resins and certain hquid resins are dehydrated as quickly as possible to prevent overreacting or gelation. The end point is found by manual determination of a specific hot-plate gel time, which decreases as the polymerization advances. Automation includes on-line viscosity measurement, gc, and gpc. 

The quahty of sulfonic acids produced as iatermediates on an iadustrial scale is important to detergent manufacturers. Parameters such as color, water, free oil (unsulfonated material), and acid value (actual sulfonic acid) are all factors that determine the quaUty of a sulfonic acid. The quaUty of the feedstock prior to sulfonation, such as iodine value, water content, and sulfonatabiUty, affects the quaUty of the sulfonic acid produced. Sulfonation conditions, such as temperature, molar ratio, rate, etc, also affect the quaUty of sulfonic acid. 

Samples can be removed for analysis, phase volumes can be measured to determine mixture composition and molar volumes (70), and phase boundaries can be measured. Many different configurations of view cells have been proposed. Some are capable of pressures ia excess of 100 MPa (14,500 psi). The cell coateats may be viewed safely through the sapphire wiadow by use of a mirror, video camera, or borescope.
