Molecularity xiii

The type of behavior shown by the ethanol-water system reaches an extreme in the case of higher-molecular-weight solutes of the polar-nonpolar type, such as, soaps and detergents [91]. As illustrated in Fig. Ul-9e, the decrease in surface tension now takes place at very low concentrations sometimes showing a point of abrupt change in slope in a y/C plot [92]. The surface tension becomes essentially constant beyond a certain concentration identified with micelle formation (see Section XIII-5). The lines in Fig. III-9e are fits to Eq. III-57. The authors combined this analysis with the Gibbs equation (Section III-SB) to obtain the surface excess of surfactant and an alcohol cosurfactant.

Thrombin, the two-chain derivative of the prothrombin molecule, has a molecular weight of approximately 37,000 daltons. Its proteolytic properties induce the conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin to produce the initial visible manifestation of coagulation, the soluble fibrin clot. In addition, thrombin influences the activity of Factors V, VIII, and XIII and plasmin. Thrombin affects platelet function by inducing viscous metamorphosis and the release reaction with subsequent aggregation. 

Factor XIII. Factor XIII circulates in the blood as a zymogen composed of two pairs of different polypeptide chains designated A and B. Inert Factor XIII has a molecular weight of 350,000 daltons and is converted to its active transglutaminase form in the presence of thrombin and calcium. Activated Factor XIII, Xllla, induces an irreversible amide exchange reaction between the y-glutamine and S-lysine side chains of adjacent fibrin...

If the substance shared between two solvents can exist in different molecular states in them, the simple distribution law is no longer valid. The experiments of Berthelot and Jungfleiscli, and the thermodynamic deduction show, however, that the distribution law holds for each molecular state separately. Thus, if benzoic acid is shared between water and benzene, the partition coefficient is not constant for all concentrations, but diminishes with increasing concentration in the aqueous layer. This is a consequence of the existence of the acid in benzene chiefly as double molecules (C6H5COOH)2, and if the amount of unpolymerised acid is calculated by the law of mass action (see Chapter XIII.) it is found to be in a constant ratio to that in the aqueous layer, independently of the concentration (cf. Nernst, Theoretical Chemistry, 2nd Eng. trans., 486 Die Verteilnngssatz, W. Hertz, Ahrens h annulling, Stuttgart, 1909). 

Using the same method as described in II.B, Binsch and Heil-bronner have examined the second-order bond distortion in the lowest excited states of nonalternant hydrocarbons (I, IV—VII, X, XI, XIII — XV and XVII), and have shown that, of the molecules examined, only VI and XVII suffer a molecular-symmetry reduction in the lowest... 

Transfer constants for polystyrene chain radicals at 60° and 100°C, obtained from the slopes of these plots and others like them, are given in the second and third columns of Table XIII. Almost any solvent is susceptible to attack by the propagating free radical. Even cyclohexane and benzene enter into chain transfer, although to a comparatively small extent only. The specific reaction rate at 100°C for transfer with either of these solvents is less than two ten-thousandths of the rate for the addition of the chain radical to styrene monomer. A fifteenfold dilution with benzene was required to halve the molecular weight, i.e., to double l/xn from its value (l/ rjo for pure styrene (see Fig. 16). Other hydrocarbons are more effective in lowering the degree of polymerization through chain transfer.
