Precedence rules

Fig. 12.39 Tree describing the rules to differentiate active and inactive inotropic compounds. Each of the terminal nodes corresponds to the numbers of active and inactive molecules produced by the application of the preceding rules.

When the preceding rules lead to inconvenient names, then (1) the unaltered name of the base may be used followed by the name of the anion or (2) for salts of hydrohalogen acids only the unaltered name of the base is used followed by the name of the hydrohalide. An example of the latter would be 2-ethyl-p-phenylenediamine monohydrochloride. 

Those polymers which are the condensation product of two different monomers are named by applying the preceding rules to the repeat unit. For example, the polyester formed by the condensation of ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid is called poly(oxyethylene oxyterphthaloyl) according to the lUPAC system, as well as poly (ethylene terephthalate) or polyethylene terephthalate. 

Both of the preceding rules convert data into information. Control rules are then used to convert that information into action. An example control rule uses both of the preceding definitions to decide the action to be taken by the temperature setpoint ... 

Due to its complexity, a truly integrated approach is required in designing a production rule base to provide the job description for the FMS dynamic scheduler. This is because the dynamic system relies heavily on the knowledge base as represented by the rule base, and an overly restrictive rule base will lead to inefficient, at times even wrong, decisions. In other words, such a structure should represent all the multilevel interactions and their possible precedence rules that relate to the manufacturing process planning and processing decisions in an FMS. This turns out to be a difficult task. 

Radicals formed from hydrocarbons consisting of polycyclic systems and side chains are named according to the principles of the preceding rules. 

The substituent name for the OH group is hydroxy and should be used whenever the OH group is not the parent function (see Table 7-1). Notice how the precedence rules apply — hydroxy below carboxylic acid and hydroxy below ketone ... 

Sometimes there are fewer stereoisomers than predicted by the preceding rule. This occurs when identical chirality centers are symmetrically placed in a compound. As an example, consider the case of tartaric acid. 

Based on the preceding rule, one can state the following definition ... 

The application of the HSIP is of considerable importance in preparative coordination chemistry because some solid complexes are stable only when they are precipitated using a counter ion conforming to the preceding rule. For example, [CuCl5]3- is not stable in aqueous solution but can be isolated as [Cr(NH3)6][CuCl5]. Attempts to isolate solid compounds containing the complex ion [Ni(CN)5]3- as K3[Ni(CN)5] yield KCN and K2[Ni(CN)4] instead. It has been found, however, that when counter ions such as [Cr(NH3)6]3+ or [Cr(en)3]3+ are used, solids containing the [Ni(CN)5]3- ion are obtained. 

When you are using a calculator, some operation may be waiting for its turn to be done. For example, when 2 + 4 X 6 is being entered, the addition will not be done when the multiplication key is pressed. It will await the final equals key, when first the multiplication and then the addition will be carried out. If you want the addition to be done first, you may press the equals key right after entering the four. If you want the calculator to do operations in an order different from that determined by the precedence rules, you may insert parentheses (if they are provided on your calculator) or press the equals key to finalize all calculations so far before you continue with others. 

Am. The result is 1 x 10 . The calculator divides 4 x 10 by 4, then multiplies that answer by 10 times 10 . (See the precedence rules in Table A-1.) This answer is wrong because any number divided by itself should give an answer of 1. (You should always check to see if your answer is reasonable.)... 

The precedence rules are not invoked for this sequence of keystrokes, since only one operation, division, is done. 

A.27. Put parentheses around two successive variables in each expression so that the value of the expression is not changed. Use the precedence rules for algebra. For example, a x b + cisthe same as (a x b) + c. 

A.31. Which part of Problem A.27 has a different answer if the precedence rules for calculators are used ... 

If the preceding rule does not allow a decision, the enantiomers are distinguished by the first endolexo position which is different endo is preferred due the earlier alphabetical order of the second letter. 

Example CHBr2COOH is a stronger acid than CH2BrCOOH, which is stronger than CH3COOH. Note The preceding rules are summarized in text Tables 10.4, 10.5, and 10.6. 

From this, by the preceding rule, we obtain, as the Schrodinger equation... 

If the calculator displays 1, the problem has been done correctly and the calculator is suitable for this course. If it displays 4, read the subsection on precedence rules below.
