Oxygen, sampling

Total Hydrocarbon Gontent. The THC includes the methane combined in air, plus traces of other light hydrocarbons that are present in the atmosphere and escape removal during the production process. In the typical oxygen sample, methane usually constitutes more than 90% of total hydrocarbons. The rest may be ethane, ethylene, acetylene, propane, propylene, and butanes. Any oil aerosol produced in lubricated piston compressor plants is also included here. 

Mass spectrometric m/e abundance ratios were normalized using oxygen samples from electrolysis of water of known isotopic composition. 

A second-order structural transformation in La uC at 233 5°C was reported (118) in a thermal expansion study. The LajCu04 product was prepared at high temperature (1100°C) by the solid-state reaction of the corresponding binary oxides. The material was found to decompose above 1200°C with the loss of oxygen. Samples of La uC, prepared at 1200°C, then maintained at 750°C in vacuum, yielded products having the general composition La2Cu04.x, or... 

A 250 ml flask is filled with oxygen, collected over water at a barometric pressure of 730 torr and a temperature of 25°C. What will be the volume of the oxygen sample, dry, at standard conditions ... 

Samples of HY zeolite were exhaustively treated with successive doses of tetramethylsilane in a static reactor at different temperatures in the range 250°-650°C. Rate data for methane evolution were obtained, and the kinetics were discussed. Silicon and some carbon were incorporated, giving gray materials parts of which were calcined in oxygen. Samples of the original H Y, the treated zeolite, and calcined materials were tested for their abilities to accept electrons from perylene and to isomerize cyclopropane and protoadamantane. The treated zeolite had good electron transfer properties but low and high activities for the isomerizations, respectively. However, the opposite was true for the calcined materials. These results are discussed in terms of the acidic properties of the modified zeolites. 

For the most oxygenated sample, the carboxidation reaction may be presented by (7.19), having huge stoichiometric coefficients compared to conventional chemical reactions ...

A certain mass of oxygen was collected over water when potassium chlorate was decomposed by heating. The volume of the oxygen sample collected was 720 mL at 25°C and a barometric pressure of 755 torn What would the volume of the oxygen be at STP (Hint First calculate the partial pressure of the oxygen. Then use the combined gas law.)... 

Fio. 25. Representation of catalytic runs, according to the kinetics of first order, for the reaction of a stoichiometric mixture, at room temperature, on a sample of NiO(200°) pretreated in oxygen at 200°. A, Oxygenated sample B, the same sample after regeneration in vacuo at 200° C, second regeneration followed by oxygen treatment (57). 

After the interaction of carbon monoxide with the oxygenated sample of nickel oxide, oxygen may be readsorbed on the surface at 200°. Two cases will be considered successively. 

It is clear that a detailed reaction mechanism cannot be deduced from kinetic measurements only. However, since different kinetic laws have been deduced from the results of the kinetic study of the reaction on fresh, regenerated and oxygenated samples, the kinetic results demonstrate that the surface of NiO(250°) is modified when it contacts nitrous oxide or oxygen at 250° and that each gas produces a specific surface modification. 

It must be noted that the presence of paramagnetic species, such as molecular oxygen, reduces Tx. Interestingly, therefore, it was observed that the effects of MHz ultrasound on 7 , are greater for deoxygenated than oxygenated samples due to the deoxygentating effects of ultrasound the implication is that the ultrasonically... 

Fig. 11.4. A simple model of the band structure shows that for a nominally fully oxygenated sample of YBa2Cu307 <5 (i.e. d 0) the holes responsible for superconductivity reside in the predominantly oxygen 2p valence band (a). As the oxygen deficiency, (5, is increased, the number of holes in the valence band is reduced until at d 0.6 superconductivity is lost and a charge transfer insulator is created (b). Also shown are the corresponding oxygen K-edge spectra.

Following Ashby s first observation (7) of chemiluminescence from the oxidative degradation of polymers, a number of papers have appeared dealing with oxidative chemiluminescence from a variety of polymers (8-16). In this chapter we continue the 1,4-polyisoprene work with a study of the low-temperature chemiluminescence emitted in the autoxidation of three additional elastomers, cis-1,4-polybutadiene, amorphous 1,2-polybutadiene, and fmns-polypentenamer. We also report the chemiluminescence obtained from singlet-oxygenated samples of cis-1,4-polybutadiene and trans-polypentenamer, as well as rate data for singlet oxygen reactions with the 1,4-polyisoprene, 1,4-polybutadiene, and model compounds in solution.
