The one-electron reduction of thiazole in aqueous solution has been studied by the technique of pulse radiolysis and kinetic absorption spectrophotometry (514). The acetone ketyl radical (CH ljCOH and the solvated electron e were used as one-electron reducing agents. The reaction rate constant of with thiazole determined at pH 8.0 is fe = 2.1 X 10 mole sec in agreement with 2.5 x 10 mole sec" , the value given by the National Bureau of Standards (513). It is considerably higher than that for thiophene (6.5 x 10" mole" sec" ) (513) and pyrrole (6.0 X10 mole sec ) (513). The reaction rate constant of acetone ketyl radical with thiazolium ion determined at pH 0.8 is lc = 6.2=10 mole sec" . Relatively strong transient absorption spectra are observed from these one-electron reactions they show (nm) and e...

To prepare the standard pH buffer solutions recommended by the National Bureau of Standards (U.S.), the indicated weights of the pure materials in Table 8.15 should be dissolved in water of specific conductivity not greater than 5 micromhos. The tartrate, phthalate, and phosphates can be dried for 2 h at 100°C before use. Potassium tetroxalate and calcium hydroxide need not be dried. Fresh-looking crystals of borax should be used. Before use, excess solid potassium hydrogen tartrate and calcium hydroxide must be removed. Buffer solutions pH 6 or above should be stored in plastic containers and should be protected from carbon doxide with soda-lime traps. The solutions should be replaced within 2 to 3 weeks, or sooner if formation of mold is noticed. A crystal of thymol may be added as a preservative.

There are no estabHshed specifications for the standard reference samples used in general chemical analysis. Many such substances, however, are analyzed and certified by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), formerly the National Bureau of Standards (NBS). Specific reference standards are required for many of the analyses included in the USP and NE standards for dmgs.

Research sponsored by BFRIP regarding the use of brominated flame retardants shows that there is no evidence that the use of decabromodiphenyl oxide leads to any unusual risk. In addition, a study by the National Bureau of Standards (now National Institute of Science and Technology) showed that the use of flame retardants significantly decreased the ha2ards associated with burning of common materials under reaUstic fire conditions (73). Work ia Japan confirms this finding (74).
