membranes with exaetly the same hole with different surfaee energies were prepared one at a time. 

The bubble volume was ealculated from the total volume of air passed through a hole and the number of bubbles, whieh was obtained by playing the reeorded videotape, in a given time. The bubble diameters, surface-to-volume ratio, and so forth are derived from the caleulated bubble volume, assuming the spherieal bubble, although bubbles in water are far from a sphere as seen in figures presented in Chapter 27.

Another potential site of reactivity for anhydrides in protein molecules is modification of any attached carbohydrate chains. In addition to amino group modification in the polypeptide chain, glycoproteins may be modified at their polysaccharide hydroxyl groups to form ester derivatives. Esterification of carbohydrates by acetic anhydride, especially cellulose, is a major industrial application for this compound. In aqueous solutions, however, esterification may be a minor product, since the oxygen of water is about as strong a nucleophile as the hydroxyls of sugar residues. 

The hydrogen ion (H+) represents a very different situation. When hydrogen is released into the soil solution by ionization, it loses its electron. The naked proton (H+) is naturally attracted to the partially negative oxygen of water and its lone pair of electrons (Figure 5.8, equation 2). The result of this interaction is the species H30+, which is called a hydronium ion. This is the true species in the soil solution even though scientific papers and texts will use the simpler H+ when writing equations. 

A coordinate covalent bond forms between the aluminum and the hydrating water molecules. Aluminum is a Group lllA element, so the aluminum (111) cation (with a chcirge of -1-3) formally has no valence electrons. The oxygen of water has lone pairs. Therefore, water molecules most likely hydrate the cation by donating lone pairs to form coordinate covalent bonds. In this respect, you can call the water molecules ligands of the metal ion. 

Addition of a small amount of ADP in the presence of an oxidizable substrate and excess P, causes a brief period of brisk respiration that can be repeated by adding more ADP. Experiments of this type provide one means for estimating P-to-O ratios. The P-to-O ratio is proportional to the amount of ADP consumed to reduce one oxygen of 02 to one oxygen of water. 

This reaction is kinetically favored because the oxygen of water is a nucleophile, whereas the carbonyl carbon is an electrophile. In the initial step the curved, colored arrows that represent the flow of electron pairs suggest three electron pair migrations that happen in quick succession (figure 10a). An electron pair migrates from the O—H of the water molecule to the O. An electron pair from the O attacks the carbonyl carbon, and an electron pair between the C and the O in the carbonyl migrates to the O of the carbonyl. The intermediate step involves the results of these and two additional electron pair migrations from the relatively unstable intermediate products that lead to the final products. 

In the product-determining step of Scheme 6, the nucleophilic oxygen of water attacks one of the carbons this carbon then withdraws its orbital from the three-center bond and an ordinary a bond is formed between the remaining carbon and the hydrogen. 

Since there is a negative and a positive end to the water molecule, it may interact with either positive or negative ions. Such an interaction is called solvation (or, in the particular case of water, hydration). The interaction between negative ions and the positive end of the water molecule is almost always electrostatic in nature the interaction between positive ions of the salt and the oxygen of water may be electrostatic, or the water might form a covalent bond. Thus, for sodium chloride, the hydrated tons may be appropriately represented ...

Actually, hydrogen ions (protons) do not exist in aqueous solutions. Each proton combines with one water molecule by coordination with a free pair of electrons on the oxygen of water, and hydronium ions are formed ...

The oxygen of water acts as a nucleophile and adds to the carbonyl carbon. 

The acylium ion would have a longer lifetime in concentrated sulfuric acid than in aqueous hydrochloric acid because the concentration of water in the former acid is extremely low. In aqueous hydrochloric acid, the starting ketones are more likely to be in equilibrium with their hydrates, and the intermediate acylium ion might never form. If it does form, it will react so rapidly with the nucleophilic oxygen of water that the electrophilic aromatic substitution cannot occur. 

That Si —Cl bonds have some double bond character and involve the use of the 3d orbitals of Si, with donation from the chlorine lone pairs, is suggested by the high heat of formation of SiCl4. One d orbital is occupied in spM hybridisation, but the empty 3d orbitals can also accept electrons from the oxygen of water. CCI4, with its lower heat of formation, is bound by simple (T-bonds and is not hydrolysed because there are no low-lying carbon orbitals of suitable symmetry to accept electrons from the water molecule.
