For the chemical potential (and for all the partial molar values) of a structure element, we again find the same difficulty as encountered in the case of ions. Indeed, it is impossible to maintain the quantities of elements for all types of structure elements of a solid, except for one of them because, in addition, the electrical neutrality but also the ratios between sites must be preserved in a transformation. In order to circumvent the difficulty, we use the same approach as with the ions,... 

We adopt this kinetic definition of reaction order without reference to the actual number of molecules involved in each act of chemical transformation. In homogeneous reactions the kinetically determined order is equal to the number of molecules participating in the actual change of which the rate is being measured. In heterogeneous reactions this equality is not necessarily preserved. It will be convenient to call the order inferred from the effect of pressure on the time of half-change the apparent order, and to refer to the number of molecules involved as the true order of the reaction. We have now to consider the relation of the true and the apparent order in various cases. ... 

Chemically related to barium, radium is recovered from its ores by addition of barium salt, followed by treatment as fur recovery of barium, usually as the sulfate. The sulfates of barium and of radium are insoluble in most chemicals, so they arc transformed into carbonate or sulfide, both of which are readily soluble in HC1. Separation from barium is accomplished by fractional crystallization of the chlorides (or bromides, or hydroxides). Dry, concentrated radium salts are preserved in sealed glass tubes, which are periodically opened by experienced workers to relieve the pressure, The glass tubes are kept m lead shields,... 

The curve of the apparent viscosity data versus temperature for PP/PU/APP is reported in the Figure 10.9. In the first step (200°C-240°C), the viscosity of the material decreases when the temperature increases following the behavior of a thermoplastic material. Even though we observe in this step a carbonization of the material surface, the polymeric matrix has been preserved under the surface. In the 240°C-300°C temperature range, the viscosity value slightly decreases and its value remains close to the low apparent viscosity of the material molten at 240°C. The sample appears as completely carbonized and liquid. The plateau may then be explained by the chemical transformation of the material (formation of phosphoric acid esters and aromatic species).33... 

Another example of a process involving chemical transformation is the blast furnace used in converting iron ore (Fe203) into molten iron (5). In fact, the blast furnace is not simply a furnace but is actually a highly efficient counterflow thermochemical reactor. The enthalpy and availability figures for a typical blast furnace (Table V) show that 75% of the availability contained in feed materials is preserved in the output iron and byproduct fuel gases (principally CO).

While there s not a clear, punctuating distinction between emcient emd modern chemistry, there are a few major differences that separate the two. Modern chemists describe the world in terms of atoms, molecules, and electrons and have a relatively complete understanding of the basic particles that make up matter—at least insofar as is necessary to describe chemical transformations. Ancient chemists didn t have this information and relied less on experimental evidence and more on theory and mythology. For example, ancient chemists sought the Philosopher s Stone (see below), for which there was no verifiable evidence, but they were attracted to it for its mythological power to preserve youth.
