The C-2 epimerization of aldoses promoted by Co(II) N,N,N -trimethylethylenediamine complexes has been shown, by use of C-labeUed substrates, to involve a skeletal rearrangement.

In this section, we will discuss those techniques one uses to evaluate the physical characteristics of the thin films we can deposit. We specifically defer questions as to the chemical nature of the film. 

The measurement of film thickness can be a fairly simple measurement 

A typical surface profile is shown on the video display. Vertical resolution of 5 A and horizontal resolution of 400 A is claimed. As long as the deposited film can be etched off the substrate without etching the substrate, this technique can be used for any thin film. Its primary utility is for R D studies, as it is clearly not a production technique. The only film for which it is not suited is an epi silicon film on a single-crystal silicon substrate. A technique for measuring the thickness of these films will be described in the section on Infrared Spectroscopy. 

As long as the film is not reflective (i.e., specular aluminum) and is deposited on a reflective substrate (i.e., Si02 on silicon), optical techniques are available. It was recognized early that the color of a thin film could be correlated to its thickness. Although not very precise, such information is very useful for quick evaluation in the laboratory. For example, silicon dioxide films on silicon substrates can be evaluated with the data of Table 1. In fact, one of the more useful aspects of this technique is that one can make rapid judgements as to film uniformity. 

Finally, we should note that in addition to film thickness, the index of refraction of the film can be determined and used to obtain chemical information about the film. This aspect will be discussed in Section 7.3.1. 

The solubilities of D-xylose and D-mannose in aqueous ethanol (0-100%) at 25 C have been measured by use of refractometry and h.p.l.c., and some physical properties (m.p., solubilities) of crystalline anhydrous a-lactose, , e-lactose, and 8-lactose have been reported. The excess Gibbs free energies of aqueous solutions of carbohydrates and other polyols at 25°C have been determined and correlated with the sugar configurations. The standard enthalpy of formation (1263.4 1.2 kJmol ) of o-D-mannose at 298.15 K has been calculated from the corresponding standard energy of combustion (-15.6123 0.0065 kJg ) which was

The apparent molal volumes and molal compressibilities of several monosaccharides, disaccharides and methyl pyranosides in dilute aqueous solution have been studied at 5, 15, and 25°C. The results were discussed in the light of solute-solvent interactions and a model for the hydration of galactose and lactose was proposed.The molal volumes of small carbohydrate molecules have been measured in an attempt at elucidating the relationship between molecular properties and sweetness. Molal volumes reflect fine differences in structure fe.q., axial or equatorial disposition of particular hydroxy groups) which are in turn related to differences in taste. In order to interpret differences in sweetness the viscosimetric constants and the heats of dilution of three monosaccharides, three disaccharides and the very sweet chlorinated sugar (21) have been determined, and their i.r. and Raman spectra have been recorded. The osmotic 

Chemists characterize and identify substances by their particular properties. To determine many of these properties requires physical measurements. Cisplatin, the substance featured in the chapter opening, is a yellow substance whose solubiUty in water (the amount that dissolves in a given quantity of water) is 0.252 gram in 100 grams of water. You can use the solubility, as well as other physical properties, to identify cisplatin. In a modoa chemical laboratory, measurements often are complex, but many experiments begin with simple measurements of mass, volume, time, and so forth. In the next few sections, we will look at the measurement process. We first con-sid the concept of precision of a measurement. 

Studies of the solution properties of heteropoly acids have been somewhat spares despite the general interest in these compounds for many years. Deterents to such studies have been primarily the instability of the compounds and the uncertainty concerning their composition. Conductivity and pH measurements on the heteropoly acids H4[PMonVO40] and H5[PMoi0V2O40] in aqueous solutions and mixed solvents has already been discussed. The acids are strong 1-4 and 1-5 electrolytes, respectively. Activity coefficients of ammonium 6-heteropolymolybdates have been reported and shown these to be 1 3 electrolytes197.  

Other studies on heteropoly anions include electron paramagnetic resonance on the reduced forms of heteropoly compounds196, 198 and thermal and in situ X-ray studies of some heteropoly compounds200. No thermodynamic data are available on heteropoly compounds. 

A considerable amount of literature has appeared which describes the use of heteropolymolybdates and their tungsten analogs in various applications. Of these, the main applications have centered on catalysis. Of particular importance to the catalytic behavior of heteropoly compounds is the solubility and solvolytic behavior in both aqueous and organic media and the thermal stability and oxidation-reduction behavior. 

The various applications of heteropoly compounds in catalytic processes up to 1950 have been compiled in Ref.32 and for subsequent years in molybdenum catalyst bibliographies that are issued every two years201-204. The examples listed below will serve to illustrate the diversity of applications in the area in question. 

The catalytic oxidation in the presence of various heteropoly compounds of lower olefins to unsaturated aldehydes and subsequent conversion into unsaturated nitriles are described in Ref.225-231. Copper phthalocyanine is produced in 92% yield from phthalic anhydride in the presence of 12-molybdophosphoric acid232.  

In an attempt to correlate gross structure of solute-water with packing and stereochemistry, the partial molal volumes and isentropic partial molal compressibilities were measured for sugars, uronic acids, and some di- and trisaccharides in water at 25 C. Attempts to systematize the results were unsuccessful. In a different approach, the structural transitions at saturation temperature using Arrhenius plots of results obtained by conductance measurements on electrolyte-sucrose-water solution were determined. These transitions were postulated to be due to the ability of the sucrose to form intermolecular hydrogen bonds with the solvent, so that at saturation temperature it was considered to have entered the total structure of the solution.

Molar conductances were measured at room temperature on a Radelkis KFT conductivity meter. Metal ions were determined on a Pye-Unicam atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Elemental analyses were done by combustion with a Carlo Erba instrument CHNS Elemental Analyser Model 1106. Magnetic measurements were carried out at room temperature with a Faraday-type magnetometer. 

Recommended values for the thermodynamic and transport properties of pentoses and hexoses and their phosphates, in both the condensed and aqueous phase, have been presented and critically evaluated.

The deterioration of paper is manifested in several ways, for example, extensive discolouration and loss of mechanical strength can occur. The early detection of changes and their measurement needs special apparatus. 

Tensile strength is one of the commonly measured mechanical properties. Tensile testing machines are very versatile and used for all types of 

The ideal mechanical test would be one in which the properties related to the use of the paper were tested. Although weak papers have low tensile strength it may be of more interest to measure how they behave when folded. A test that measures the tensile strength after one fold has been proposed. 

If folding is of paramount importance, the MIT folding endurance test is of great value. In this test, the test strip is held vertically under tension. The upper jaw that holds the paper is fixed but the lower jaw swings like a pendulum, with the centre of rotation being the point where the paper enters the jaws. The tips of the jaws are curved in a defined manner. A counter measures the number of folds required before the paper breaks. A strong paper will endure over

The kinetics of the thermal reactions of some disaccharides have been determined thermogravimetrically. The rate-determining step is the cleavage of the glycosidic bond, which is followed by the formation of anhydrohexopyranoses by elimination of water. The heats of crystallization of sucrose in the 30-60 C range vary between 11.6 and 19.5 kj mol k A recent study of the previously reported enhanced solubility of sucrose in water when excess solid phase is present has failed to confirm the claim. It was concluded that the previous measurement was of a transitory occurrence.  

The free-radical reactions of carbohydrates as studied by radiation techniques have been reviewed.The nature of the reactions of carbohydrates with hydroxy-radicals and hydrated electrons formed by pulse radiolysis has been investigated. Simple monosaccharides are unreactive towards the solvated electron but readily give unstable species with hydroxy-radicals.

Differential scanning calorimetry experiments revealed the presence of at least four types of lactose besides the known a- and 3-modifications, some of which are dehydrated forms. Attempts have been made to identify the rate-determining step in the dehydration of fructose to S-(hydroxymethyl)furfural by measuring kinetic isotope effects. A spin-probe EPR study at elevated temperatures of some sugars in connection with the desiccation tolerance of biologiGal materials indicated that trehalose and sucrose-raffinose mixtures are distinguished by stability of thdr phase state and their low effective activation energy for rotational molecular motions.  

The effect of added electrolytes (sodium and potassium halides of progressively increasing molecular volume) in the concentration range 0.125—3 M on the viscosity behaviour of an aqueous sucrose solution (292 mM) between 25 and 40 °C has been investigated. Conductance data on the interaction of the sodium salts of several low-carbon aliphatic acids with sucrose in water and in formamide solutions have been reported and interpreted in terms of the effects that hydrocarbon chains have on hydrogen bonding in saturated solutions of sucrose. Conductance data have also been reported for the interaction of sucrose with symmetrical tetra-alkylammonium halides in formamide and in water in the temperature range 25—70°C.

The a-furanose (0.6%) and p-furanose (0.3%) forms of o-mannose and the P-furanose form (0.14%) of D-glucose have been detected in aqueous solutions by taking advantage of the high resolving power of n.m.r. spectroscopy. The tautomeric forms adopted by ketoses and their biologically important phosphoric esters at equilibrium have also been discussed. The proportion of carbonyl form present in the equilibrium mixture of each of 23 aldoses and 10 ketoses has been estimated from the c.d. spectrum obtained with a highly sensitive circular dichro-meter. An attempt to calculate the probable specific rotations of a- and P-d-fructofuranose is mentioned in Chapter 21.

The effect of the crystal habit-forming impurities, raffinose, dextrose, and potassium chloride on the growth of sucrose crystals from various seeds has been studied. A mechanism for the oxidation of o-galactose by Nessler s reagent in alkaline media via the enediol has been proposed on the basis of kinetic measurements.

Although aqueous solutions of D-xylose and o-glucose contain insignificant proportions of furanose forms, n.m.r. spectroscopy has indicated that 15% of the j8-furanoses are present in the tautomeric equilibria of the corresponding 3-0-methyl ethers these equilibria are not governed by stereochemical factors 

Two groups have used physical measurements e.g. density, viscosity, refractive index, and optical rotation) to determine the compositions of solutions of water-sucrose-D-glucose (or invert sugar) at various temperatures. The diffusion coefficient for self-diffusion of D-fructose in an aqueous system has been measured over a range of concentrations and temperatures. The yields of trapped electrons and radicals have been determined following y-irradiation of frozen aqueous solutions of sugars.  

The alkali-catalysed reactions of trioses (glyceraldehyde and dihydroxyacetone) have again been investigated, but this time using a pH-stat to maintain a constant concentration of the catalyst and employing a polarographic method to determine the concentration of triose. The preferred course of aldolization, giving such products as fructose, sorbose, and dendroketose, depends on the reaction conditions, especially the concentration of triose. The kinetics and mechanism of aldolization were partly elucidated. 

Oxidation of seven aldoses by vanadium(v) in sulphuric acid or perchloric acid has been examined by kinetic methods [for studies with cerium(iv) see J. Org. Chem., 1974, 39, 1788].

Now let us use the wavepackets just discussed to extract the physically measurable infomration about our problem, namely, the probabilities of reflection and transmission. As long as the wavepackets do not spread much during the collision, these probabilities are given by the general definition ... 

Note that the sums are restricted to the portion of the frill S matrix that describes reaction (or the specific reactive process that is of interest). It is clear from this definition that the CRP is a highly averaged property where there is no infomiation about individual quantum states, so it is of interest to develop methods that detemiine this probability directly from the Scln-ddinger equation rather than indirectly from the scattering matrix. In this section we first show how the CRP is related to the physically measurable rate constant, and then we discuss some rigorous and approximate methods for directly detennining the CRP. Much of this discussion is adapted from Miller and coworkers [44, 45]. 

The presence of the half-odd quantum number j in Eq. (69) is potentially a physically measurable consequence of geomehic phase, which was first claimed to have been detected in the spectrum of Naa [16]. The situation is, however, quite complicated and the first unambiguous evidence for geometric phase in Nas was reported only in 1999 [17],... 

Data any observation provides data, which could be the result of a physical measurement, a yes/no answer to whether a reaction occurs or not, or the determination of a biological activity.

Quantum mechanics has a set of rules that link operators, wavefunctions, and eigenvalues to physically measurable properties. These rules have been formulated not in some arbitrary manner nor by derivation from some higher subject. Rather, the rules were designed to allow quantum mechanics to mimic the experimentally observed facts as revealed in mother nature s data. The extent to which these rules seem difficult to... 

Iridium is not attacked by any of the acids nor by aqua regia, but is attacked by molten salts, such as NaCl and NaCN. The specific gravity of iridium is only very slightly lower than osmium, which is generally credited as the heaviest known element. Calculations of the densities of iridium and osmium from the space lattices give values of 22.65 and 22.61 g/cm 3, respectively. These values may be more reliable than actual physical measurements. At present, therefore, we know that either iridium or osmium is the densest known element, but the data do not yet allow selection between the two. 

Until this time alkyl cations were considered only transient species. Their existence had been indirectly inferred from kinetic and stereochemical studies, but no reliable spectroscopic or other physical measurements of simple alkyl cations in solution or in the solid state were obtained. 

Molecular nitric acid is the main species present in this medium, but physical measurements demonstrate the existence of significant concentrations of other species. 

Measurements usually consist of a unit and a number expressing the quantity of that unit. Unfortunately, many different units may be used to express the same physical measurement. For example, the mass of a sample weighing 1.5 g also may be expressed as 0.0033 lb or 0.053 oz. For consistency, and to avoid confusion, scientists use a common set of fundamental units, several of which are listed in Table 2.1. These units are called SI units after the Systeme International d Unites. Other measurements are defined using these fundamental SI units. For example, we measure the quantity of heat produced during a chemical reaction in joules, (J), where... 

Ultrasonic Microhardness. A new microhardness test using ultrasonic vibrations has been developed and offers some advantages over conventional microhardness tests that rely on physical measurement of the remaining indentation size (6). The ultrasonic method uses the DPH diamond indenter under a constant load of 7.8 N (800 gf) or less. The hardness number is derived from a comparison of the natural frequency of the diamond indenter when free or loaded. Knowledge of the modulus of elasticity of the material under test and a smooth surface finish is required. The technique is fast and direct-reading, making it useful for production testing of similarly shaped parts. 

The PLM can be used in a reflection or a transmission mode. With either mode, light of various wavelengths from ultraviolet to infrared, polarized or unpolarized, is used to yield a wide variety of physical measurements. With just ordinary white light, a particle or any object detail down to about 0.5 p.m (500 nm) in diameter can be observed to detect shape, size, color, refractive index, melting point, and solubiUty in a group of solvents, all nondestmetively. Somewhat larger particles yield UV, visible, or IR absorption spectra. 

In Vivo Biosensing. In vivo biosensing involves the use of a sensitive probe to make chemical and physical measurements in living, functioning systems (60—62). Thus it is no longer necessary to decapitate an animal in order to study its brain. Rather, an electrochemical biosensor is employed to monitor interceUular or intraceUular events. These probes must be small, fast, sensitive, selective, stable, mgged, and have a linear response. 

Pressure is defined as force per unit of area. The International System of Units (SI) pressure unit is the pascal (Pa), defined as 1.0 N /m. Conversion factors from non-SI units to pascal are given in Table 1 (see also Units and conversion factors front matter). An asterisk after the sixth decimal place indicates that the conversion factor is exact and all subsequent digits are 2ero. Relationships that are not followed by an asterisk are either the results of physical measurements or are only approximate. The factors are written as numbers greater than 1 and less than 10, with 6 or fewer decimal places (1). 

Future Trends. Methods of laser cooling and trapping are emerging as of the mid-1990s that have potential new analytical uses. Many of the analytical laser spectroscopies discussed herein were first employed for precise physical measurements in basic research. AppHcations to analytical chemistry occurred as secondary developments from 10 to 15 years later. 

C2S2, is a red Hquid (mp —0.5° C, bp 60—70°C at 1.6 kPa (12 mm Hg)) produced by the action of an electric arc on carbon disulfide (1 4). The stmcture has been shown to be S=C=C=C=S on the basis of its reactions to form malonic acid derivatives and on the basis of physical measurements. It is unstable and decomposes ia a few weeks at room temperature it decomposes explosively when heated rapidly at 100—120°C with formation of a black polymeric substance (C2S2) (5,6). Dilute solutions ia CS2 are fairly stable, but photochemical polymerisation to (C2S2) occurs. 

Several requirements must be met in developing a stmcture. Not only must elementary analysis and other physical measurements be consistent, but limitations of stmctural organic chemistry and stereochemistry must also be satisfied. Mathematical expressions have been developed to test the consistency of any given set of parameters used to describe the molecular stmcture of coal and analyses of this type have been reported (4,6,19,20,29,30). 

The other physical measurements (4,6), except for diamagnetic susceptibiUty (4) and possibly density (4), are primarily of interest for determining chemical stmctural properties of coal. 

Zinc coatings are covered by an ASTM specification (143). Because of the varying purity of 2inc deposits from chloride and 2incate baths, some thickness measuring methods can vary considerably (39). Methods based on physical measurement of magnetic methods (144,145) are used for best accuracy. 

There are also physical measurements that can give evidence of aromaticity. The... 

It would be worthwhile making theoretical calculations to evaluate the effect of defects on the nanotube properties. The chemistry might be affected, although to a lesser degree because nanotubes, like graphite, are chemically quite inert. If at all possible, nanotubes should be annealed (if not also purified) before physical measurements are made. Only then are the results likely to be consistent and unambiguous. 

The only statistical techniques which need control are those used to determine the acceptability of a product or service or the capability of a process that produces the product or service. Any activity where you rely on statistical evidence rather than physical measurement is an activity which should be governed by these requirements. The use of recognized techniques is important to the confidence one has in the result. It is similar to the use of measuring equipment that has been calibrated against known standards of accuracy. Unless you actually check every product, measure every attribute or variable you cannot be 100% certain. But that is costly and you can be 99.99% certain by using statistical techniques 99.99% may be sufficiently accurate for your needs. 

In Section 2.2, the stress-strain relations (generalized Hooke s law) for anisotropic and orthotropic as well as isotropic materials are discussed. These relations have two commonly accepted manners of expression compliances and stiffnesses as coefficients (elastic constants) of the stress-strain relations. The most attractive form of the stress-strain relations for orthotropic materials involves the engineering constants described in Section 2.3. The engineering constants are particularly helpful in describing composite material behavior because they are defined by the use of very obvious and simple physical measurements. Restrictions in the form of bounds are derived for the elastic constants in Section 2.4. These restrictions are useful in understanding the unusual behavior of composite materials relative to conventional isotropic materials. Attention is focused in Section 2.5 on stress-strain relations for an orthotropic material under plane stress conditions, the most common use of a composite lamina. These stress-strain relations are transformed in Section 2.6 to coordinate systems that are not aligned with the principal material... 

Chemical kinetics involves the study of reaction rates and the variables tliat affect these rates. It is a topic that is critical for the analysis of reacting systems. The objective in tliis sub-section is to develop a working understanding of tliis subject that will penuit us to apply chemical kinetics principles in tlie tu ea of safety. The topic is treated from an engineering point of view, tliat is, in temis of physically measurable quantities. 

Once an approximation to the wavefunction of a molecule has been found, it can be used to calculate the probable result of many physical measurements and hence to predict properties such as a molecular hexadecapole moment or the electric field gradient at a quadrupolar nucleus. For many workers in the field, this is the primary objective for performing quantum-mechanical calculations. But from... 

Many of the properties oj -hydroxypyridines are typical of phenols. It was long assumed that they existed exclusively in the hydroxy form, and early physical measurements seemed to confirm this. For example, the ultraviolet spectrum of a methanolic solution of 3-hydroxypyridine is very similar to that of the 3-methoxy analog, and the value of the dipole moment of 3-hydroxypyridine obtained in dioxane indicates little, if any, zwitterion formation. However, it has now become clear that the hydroxy form is greatly predominant only in solvents of low dielectric constant. Comparison of the pK values of 3-hydroxypyridine with those of the alternative methylated forms indicated that the two tautomeric forms are of comparable stability in aqueous solution (Table II), and this was confirmed using ultraviolet spectroscopy. The ratios calculated from the ultraviolet spectral data are in good agreement with those de-...

Quinoxalin-2 one (70) is in mobile tautomeric equilibrium with 2-hydroxyquinoxaline (71), but physical measurements fail to demonstrate the presence of the hydroxy form (see following). 

Quinoxalin-2-ones are in tautomeric equilibrium with 2-hydroxy-quinoxalines, but physical measurements indicate that both in solution and in the solid state they exist as cyclic amides rather than as hydroxy compounds. Thus quinoxalin-2-one and its A -methyl derivative show practically identical ultraviolet absorption and are bases of similar strength. In contrast, the ultraviolet spectra of quinoxalin-2-one and its 0-methyl derivative (2-methoxyquinoxaIine) are dissimilar. The methoxy compound is also a significantly stronger base (Table II). Similar relationships also exist between the ultraviolet absorption and ionization properties of 3-methylquinoxalin-2-one and its N- and 0-methyl derivatives. The infrared spectrum of 3- (p-methoxy-benzyl)quinoxalin-2-one (77) in methylene chloride shows bands at 3375 and 1565 cm" which are absent in the spectrum of the deuterated... 

Note that from Table 4-128 the very large volumes that can dissolve in oil-base muds. For the water-base muds, 0.6 to 0.9% of gas will dissolve and not appreciably change the density or compressibility of the mud. It will be difficult to detect these low concentrations with downhole physical measurements. Free gas will be easily detected as shown hereafter. For the oil-base muds we will assume no free gas is present at bottomhole and the mud properties are changed only due to the dissolved gas. The detection will be more difficult than with free gas. 

This can be a real problem for baghouses that rely on automatic timers to control cleaning frequency. The use of a timing function to control cleaning frequency is not recommended unless the dust load is known to be consistent. A better approach is to use differential-pressure gages to physically measure the pressure drop across the filter media to trigger the cleaning process based on preset limits.
