Monomeric equilibrium constant

According to Kolp et al. ( 1), Ka, the monomeric equilibrium constant has been determined by potentlometrlc titration to be... 

Zollinger (1971) calculated the actual rate constant referring to the monomeric diazo component from the (overall) measured rates and the dimerization equilibrium constant. The ratio of rates of the first to the second azo coupling reaction of the biphenyl-4,4 -bis-diazonium ion with the trianion of 2-naphthol-3,6-disulfonic acid at 15 °C, k /k2 9 is 80. 

It is well established that poly(styryl)lithium is predominantly associated into dimers in hydrocarbon solutions (14,15), while it is monomeric in tetrahydrofuran (j ). Furthermore, concentrated solution viscosity measurements have shown that the equilibrium constant (K ) for the process shown in eq l [PSLi = poly(styryl)lithium] ha i value... 

The Mass Action Model The mass action model represents a very different approach to the interpretation of the thermodynamic properties of a surfactant solution than does the pseudo-phase model presented in the previous section. A chemical equilibrium is assumed to exist between the monomer and the micelle. For this reaction an equilibrium constant can be written to relate the activity (concentrations) of monomer and micelle present. The most comprehensive treatment of this process is due to Burchfield and Woolley.22 We will now describe the procedure followed, although we will not attempt to fill in all the steps of the derivation. The aggregation of an anionic surfactant MA is approximated by a simple equilibrium in which the monomeric anion and cation combine to form one aggregate species (micelle) having an aggregation number n, with a fraction of bound counterions, f3. The reaction isdd... 

Thermodynamic studies yield values of Ap as a function of the mole fraction in terms of the components at constant temperature and pressure. We must now assume which species are present, basing the assumptions on our knowledge of the chemical behavior of the component and of the system as a whole, and values of the equilibrium constants relating to the formation of the species from the components. The most convenient independent variable is the mole fraction of the monomeric species, xAt. A sufficient number of equations to calculate all mole fractions of the species and the components in terms of xAl are obtained from the expressions for the assumed independent equilibrium constants and the fact that the sum of the mole fractions in terms of species must equal unity. The assumed values of the equilibrium constants are adjusted and the species changed until Equation (11.107) is satisfied. The equivalent equation for the second component must also be satisfied. 

To give some idea of how the computational algorithms relate to the ideas presented in Section 5.2.5 consider again the example for monomeric hydroxy-aluminium species. The equilibrium constant for the formation of the species can be... 

CH3)3CO— is an initiator residue]. With copolymerization of free monomers, they should have observed an increasing A/B ratio according to the method used with complex propagation, A/B should remain constant. The authors observed both cases. They concluded that maleic anhydride with a monomeric donor, like styrene, yields a DA complex by a reversible reaction, with an equilibrium constant of 10-1 to 10-2 dm3 mol-1. The initiating radical is formed from the complex, and the copolymerization is in fact a terpolymerization involving the two free monomers and their complex. These authors have applied the same technique in a study of the type of radicals formed in copolymerization of maleic anhydride with vinyl sulphides. Even in this case they provided evidence of the existence of a complex. 

After sufficient time, the system reaches an equilibrium where the monomer concentrations remain constant at M, and M2 oo. The initial concentrations, /M, o and IM2 0, are selected at will for each kind of system, but the corresponding equilibrium concentrations IMXj00 and /M2 oo are determined by the pertinent equilibrium constants and by M, 0 and M2 0 i. e. by the initial monomer concentrations, including those monomeric units which have been incorporated in IM 0 and /M 0. 

Here we describe studies of the interaction of interleukin-6 (IL-6) with a soluble form of its cell surface receptor (sIL-6R). A procedure utilising a competition approach is presented which allows the determination of the equilibrium constant in solution thus avoiding any potential problems associated with deviation in kinetic characteristics upon surface immobilisation. In addition, binding characteristics of stable monomeric and dimeric forms of IL-6 are presented to demonstrate both the drastic influence of solute multivalency on kinetic and equilibrium properties and the importance of auxiliary techniques such as analytical ultracentrifugation for the interpretation of SPR data. 

Figure 7.5. Species in equilibrium with amorphous silica. Diagram computed from equilibrium constants (25°C, I = 0.5). The line surrounding the shaded area gives the maximum soluble silica. The mononuclear wall represents the lower concentration limit below which multinuclear silica species are not stable. In natural waters the dissolved silica is present as monomeric silicic acid.

Effects of nonether solvent on the equilibrium between monomeric complexes have received little attention. An H-NMR investigation of the effect of N,N,N, N -tetramethylethylenediamine (TMED) on THE solutions of ethylmagnesium bromide demonstrated little effect on the equilibrium constant at — [32] however, TMED... 

In the photodecomposition of polystyrene-bound cobaloximes, the polymer chain decreases the mobility of bis(dimethylglyoximato)pyridinecobalt(L) and increases the probability of recombination of L and a radical fixed on the polymer chain. Retardation of the dissociation resulted in a larger equilibrium constant for the polymeric system than that for the analogous monomeric system.130...
