Percentage solutions, chemical preparation

A binder—free Na-Y zeolite with Si/Al ratio of 2.29 was obtained from Strem Chemical Co., La,Na—Y and Cs,Na-Y zeolites were prepared by exchanging Na-Y zeolite with LaCls and CsCl solution at room temperature. The percentage of metal ion exchanged in a zeolite has been determinated by Inductively-Coupled-Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy and the number is used as prefix for the samples, e.g., Cs exchanged level of 667. is represented as 66Cs,Na-Y sample. 

Other chemicals used (NaCl, urea, and HCl) were reagent grade. The solutions for ultracentrifugation were made up in acid-washed 10-ml. volumetric flasks to contain the desired percentage of bile salt in water, NaCl solution, or a solution of NaCl and urea. These solutions were run in the Spinco model E analytical ultracentrifuge equipped with a temperature-control system and an electronic speed-control system within 3 days of preparation. 

In conclusion we emphasize that the final chemical composition of the surface films covering Li electrodes in solutions is the result of a delicate balance between several competing reduction processes of solvent, salt anion, and contaminants. In this section we emphasize the role of salt reduction processes. However, each solution has to be studied separately since the above balance is determined by factors such as salt concentration, the nature of the solvent, contamination level, etc., all of which differ from system to system. Table 4 presents element analysis by XPS of surface films formed on freshly prepared Li electrodes in several solutions. It demonstrates how the impact of salt reduction on the Li surface chemistry depends on the solution composition and the storage time. (The atomic percentage of fluorine on the surface is a good measure for the impact of the salt.)... 

The term chemical assessment describes the process through which the reaction scheme to arrive at a target molecule is combinatorialized. This process may include the transfer of a reaction from solution onto SP and/or the adaptation of the reaction conditions to the use of many monomers with different reactivities and stabilities for library synthesis. Monomer rehearsal is an accurate check of the reactivity of a monomer set in the synthetic scheme for the buildup of the library so that the unreactive/difficult monomers are removed from the set. A model library is a small set of discretes, or a small pool, that is prepared using the planned synthetic route for the library and is fully characterized by the appropriate analytical tools Only if the results are satisfactory is the library synthesis carried out. Quality control determines the analytical profile of a library as a single entity, but data from each library individual, or a significant percentage of library individuals, are acquired. A library with 80% confirmed pure compounds is a good-quality library, but the 20% of samples that are... 

Methyl methaciylate-maleic anltydiide eopoly mer matrices with different percentages of surface anhydride fuiKtional groups were prepared by solution copolymerisation. Acriflavine was botmd on the matrix surfaces by chemical bonding in organic medirrm. The amormt of acriflavine borrrrd to the rrratrix was spectroscopically characterised, arrd the in-vitro release rate of acriflavine in weakly basic medirrm was established along with the determination of its antirrricrobial activity. 9 refs. 

The samples which were cured chemically with acetic anhydride and pyridine, and then heated to remove solvent, appeared to be incompletely imidized, and yielded lower molecular weights than thermally cured samples from the same polyamic acid. In addition, these samples produced a bright red solution in sulfuric acid, in contrast to the orange-gold color observed in solutions from thermally cured samples. The red color disappeared within 24 hours, when the molecular weights were determined. This color was also observed by Wallach (4), who carried out viscosity measurements on sulfuric acid solutions of chemically cured PMDA/DAPE polyimides. Wallach observed a slow decrease in the dilute solution viscosity with time over a period of hours from the initial preparation of the solution. We have not observed any decrease in viscosity for 24 hours for solutions prepared from thermally cured samples. Polyimide samples which have been cured chemically have been shown to contain a small percentage of isoimide, which is then converted to the more stable imide at higher temperatures (8-9). The observed red color in sulfuric acid solutions may be because protonation of... 

The catalysts are named according to the metal salt composition of the aqueous solution used to impregnate the support. Thus, for exemple, NiCoio was prepared from a mixture containing 90% nickel acetate and 10% cobalt acetate. The atomic percentage which was determined by chemical analysis (Table 1) of the catalyst 10.9% is in good agreement with the initial salt ratio 11.1%. The same observation stands for NiCu-io-... 

In the MTT assay, after a 24 or 48 h incubation of the cultured cells, the culture medium was removed and 20 pi of the MTT solution prepared at 5 mg/ml (Sigma Chemical Company, MO, USA) was added to each well for 4 h. The resulting crystals were dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). The controls included native cells and the medium itself. The spectrophotometric absorbance of each well was measured with the use of a microplate reader (ELx 800, Bio-Tek Instruments, Winooski, VT, USA) at 550 mn. The cytotoxicity percentage was calculated by the formula percent cytotoxicity (cell death) = (1 - [absorbance of experimental wells/ absorbance of control wells]) x 100%. 

There are several types of calculations that can be undertaken once we recognize the concept that a mole is simply a way to count particles. We can determine the empirical formula of a chemical based on the mass percentage analysis of its elements. We can also determine the molar concentration of solutions prepared by dissolving a known mass of the solute or by diluting a concentrated solution.
