Primary species

Osmotic pressure measurements and the NMR spectra of dilute solutions of the aminoaldehyde (6) indicated that the primary species in solution was the dimeric enamine (7) (29). 

The mode of extraction in these oxonium systems may be illustrated by considering the ether extraction of iron(III) from strong hydrochloric acid solution. In the aqueous phase chloride ions replace the water molecules coordinated to the Fe3+ ion, yielding the tetrahedral FeCl ion. It is recognised that the hydrated hydronium ion, H30 + (H20)3 or HgO,, normally pairs with the complex halo-anions, but in the presence of the organic solvent, solvent molecules enter the aqueous phase and compete with water for positions in the solvation shell of the proton. On this basis the primary species extracted into the ether (R20) phase is considered to be [H30(R20)3, FeCl ] although aggregation of this species may occur in solvents of low dielectric constant.

At point A, the system is in the first buffer region and pH = pKa). Once all the acid H,P04 molecules have lost their first acidic protons, the system is at B and the primary species in solution are the diprotic conjugate base and sodium ion—we have a solution of NaH2P04(aq). Point B is the first stoichiometric point, and to reach it we need to supply 1 mol NaOH for each mole of H P04. 

At point C, the system is in the second buffer region and pH = pKa2- Enough base takes us to the second stoichiometric point, D. The primary species in solution are now the monoprotic anions HP042 and sodium ions, which form a solution of... 

At point E, the system is in the third buffer region and pH = pXa3. When this reaction is complete, the primary species in solution are phosphate ions and sodium ions, which form a solution of Na,P04(aq). To reach this stoichiometric point (F in the plot), we have to add another mole of OH for each mole of H3P04 initially present. At this point, a total of 3 mol OH has been added for each mole of H,P04. Notice that the third stoichiometric point (point F) is indistinct, largely because Ka3 is comparable to Kn.. As a result, it is not detected in titrations.

The titration of a polyprotic acid has a stoichiometric point corresponding to the removal of each acidic hydrogen atom. The pH of a solution of a polyprotic acid undergoing a titration is estimated by considering the primary species in solution and the proton transfer equilibrium that determines the pH. 

The positive charge should reside on a complex entity, and there is no ready means for assessing the products of the neutralization process. Although we know that neutralization must yield 3.8 intermediates/100 e.v., there is no chemical evidence for their contribution to the product distribution. This cannot be interpreted by neutralization yielding predominantly hydrogen atoms, ethyl radicals, or methyl radicals. One can quantitatively account for these intermediates on the basis of the distribution of primary species and second- and third-order ion-molecule reactions (36). 

In deriving the kinetic equation describing the arrival of various ionic species at the cathode, it is assumed that the primary species N2 + is formed at the central wire at a constant rate, and during its passage in the direction x perpendicular to the axis its concentration is modified by various reactions. In this treatment both ion diffusion and ion-ion or electron-ion recombination processes are neglected because the geometry of the discharge tube and the presence of an electric field would...

The relative abundances of cross-linkages and of various primary species in the sol and in the gel fractions may be obtained by extension of this procedure. Since 4>l equals the fraction of the cross-linkages (or of the cross-linked units) occurring in the sol fraction, we can write... 

In situ infrared observations show that the primary species present during the reduction of NO by CH4 over Co-ZSM-5 are adsorbed NO 2 and CN. When O2 is present in the feed NO2 is formed by the homogeneous and catalyzed oxidation of NO. In the absence of O2, NO2 is presumed to be formed via the reaction 3 NO = NO2 + N2O. The CN species observed are produced via the reaction of methane with adsorbed NO2, and transient response studies suggest that CN species are precursors to N2 and CO2. A mechanism for the SCR of NO is proposed (see Figure 10). This mechanism explains the means by which NO2 is formed from adsorbed NO and the subsequent reaction sequence by which adsorbed NO2 reacts with CH4 and O2 to form CN species. N2 and CO or CO2 are believed to form via the reaction of CN with NO or NO2. CH3NO is presumed to be formed as a product of the reaction of CH4 with adsorbed NO2. The proposed mechanism explains the role of O2 in facilitating the reduction of NO by CH4 and the role of NO in facilitating the oxidation of CH4 by O2. 

Different yields, mainly of the oxidizing species, were found by Koulkes-Pujo and Berthou who studied the system Fe /DMSO in the presence of high concentration of H2SO4. They found that the yields of the primary species in acidic media are Gh = 2.1 + 0.3 and Gqx (for the oxidizing species) = 3.8 + 0.4. These results are supported by studies of the system Ce /DMSO in the presence of H2SO4 . Assuming that the radicals have stoichiometric equivalence to those found in water-DMSO mixtures, we may write the observed G(-Ce ) = 13.9 + 0.4 as equal to = 3Gqx + Gh = 13.5. The difference between the yields in acidic media and for pure DMSO is due to reaction of H with the precursors of these species.

The initial choice of the rat as the primary species for pharmacokinetic studies arose because of their use in pharmacology and toxicology studies. However, there is now such a large database of information about the relative pharmacokinetics of the same compounds in rats and man that, as described below, useful predictions to man can be made. 

By track structure is meant the distribution of energy loss events and their geometrical dispositions. Naturally, track structure becomes rather important for second-order reactions in the condensed phase. Track structure, coupled with a reaction scheme and yields of primary species, forms the basis of radiation-chemical theory. 

In Eq. (4.23d), N is the number density of molecules, cross section for production of any primary species x at electron energy E having an energetic threshold Ix for its production, and N/T) is the total number of such species formed by the complete absorption of an electron of kinetic energy T. In this sense, y can be thought of as a distribution function. Specifically, if x refers to ionization, Ix is simply the ionization potential I, Ox is the ionization cross section a, and N = n., the total number of ionizations.

Migus et al. s (1987) delineation of the formation of a primary species absorbing in the IR, which develops in -110 fs and which transforms to the well-known spectrum of the hydrated electron in -240 fs, which is consistent with the longitudinal dielectric relaxation time of water (Mozumder, 1969a, b). 

Other measurements such as gas species and soot all have importance in fire plumes but will not be discussed here. As we have seen for simple diffusion flames, the mixture fraction plays a role in generalizing these spatial distributions. Thus, if the mixture fraction is determined for the flow field, the prospect of establishing the primary species concentration profiles is possible. 

Another popular herbal dietary supplement that has a long history of use for medicinal purposes is ginseng. Much like Echinacea, three primary species of ginseng exist for therapeutic consumption Panax ginseng (Asian ginseng), Panax notoginseng and Panax quinquefolius (American ginseng). These herbal varieties can be readily authenticated...
