Gas molecules

The fluid portion of the blood, the plasma, accounts for 55 to 60% of total blood volume and is about 90% water. The remaining 10% contains proteins (8%) and other substances (2%) including hormones, enzymes, nutrient molecules, gases, electrolytes, and excretory products. All of these substances are dissolved in the plasma (e.g., oxygen) or are colloidal materials (dispersed solute materials that do not precipitate out, e.g., proteins). The three major plasma proteins include ...

Because gases have so much space between the molecules, gases can be compressed, or squeezed, into a smaller space. 

A gas has an indefinite shape and an indefinite volume. The kinetic model for a gas is a collection of widely separated molecules, each moving in a random and free fashion, with negligible attractive or repulsive forces between them. Gases will expand to occupy a larger container so there is more space between the molecules. Gases can also be compressed to fit into a small container so the molecules are less separated. 

Very straightforward effects of surface chemistry of carbons are seen on the adsorption from solutions of aromatics [10-17], dyes [18], heavy metals [19-24], pharmaceuticals [25-27], polar species such as alcohols [28-30], acids or aldehydes [31,32], and even small-molecule gases [33,34]. In those applications the species present on the carbon surface can enhance the specific interactions or even alter the porosity via blocking of pore entrances for molecules to be adsorbed. Specific interactions include hydrogen bonding, acid-base, and complexation. 

In many ways, the essence of chemistry is considering things on the atomic and molecular level. This idea applies when we study chemical reactions and also when we examine the properties of matter. So as we begin to look at matter and materials from a chemist s perspective, we will always want to focus on the way the properties of matter are related to the properties and behavior of its constituent molecules. Gases provide an excellent starting point for this because the observable macroscopic properties of gases are very direct results of the behavior of individual molecules within the gas. 

As discussed in Section 0.1, most substances and mixtures can exist in three states solid, liquid, and gas. The physical properties of these states of matter are very different. In gases, the distances between molecules are so large compared to molecular size that the effect of molecular interaction is negligibly small at ordinary temperatures and pressures. Because there is a great deal of empty space in a gas—that is, space that is not occupied by molecules—gases can be readily compressed. The lack of strong forces between molecules also allows a gas to expand to flU the volume of its container. Furthermore, the large amount of empty space results in very low densities under normal conditions. 

It should be noted that detailed studies of vibrational relaxation in the state show that typically many hundred torr of added atomic or small molecule gases and even over 100 torr of larger polyatomics such as cyclohexane are required to completely equilibrate the spectrum. - However, we can define approximately the region of Boltzmann fluorescence as being that above about 10 torr of gas. Only meticulous examination of the emission spectrum reveals further change at higher pressures. 

Adsorption isotherms of this type have proved to be useful to describe adsorption of small molecule gases like (CH4, N2, O2) at ambient temperature and pressures up to 50 MPa, [7.80]. The enthalpy of adsorption then is, cp. Eq. (7.4) ... 

Diffusion the mixing of two or more substances (solids, liquids, gases or combinations thereof) due to the intermingling motion of their individual molecules. Gases diffuse more readily than liquids, similarly, liquids diffuse more readily than solids. 

The problem was later taken up by Pierotti who calculated the cavity term by scaled particle theory and the G-, term with a Lennard-Jones potential between the solute and all the waters taken as a uniform distribution. These were calculated for small molecule gases in several liquids including water. The results were compared with experimental Henry s law constants. An expression of Henry s law in terms of a cavity potential Gc was used ... 

MOFs have shown potential in sensing various subjects, such as cations/anions, small molecules, gases/vapors. Moreover, some special MOFs-based sensing such as pH, temperature, ionizing radiation, and explosives have also been reported. However,...
