Pure materials, calculating

Although the Pitzer correlations are based on data for pure materials, they may also be used for the calculation of mixture properties. A set of recipes is required relating the parameters T, Pc, and (0 for a mixture to the pure-species values and to composition. One such set is given by Eqs. (2-80) through (2-82) in Sec. 2, which define pseudopa-rameters, so called because the defined values of T, Pc, and (0 have no physical significance for the mixture. 

Use Figure 17-11 to estimate the resistivities of two metal samples, one made of pure copper and the other of a copper-manganese alloy containing one atom of manganese for every one hundred copper atoms. Calculate the ratio of the cost due to power loss from wire of the impure material to the cost due to the power loss from wire of the pure material. 

In the previous discussion it has been assumed that the vapour is a pure material, such as steam or organic vapour. If it contains a proportion of non-condensable gas and is cooled below its dew point, a layer of condensate is formed on the surface with a mixture of non-condensable gas and vapour above it. The heat flow from the vapour to the surface then takes place in two ways. Firstly, sensible heat is passed to the surface because of the temperature difference. Secondly, since the concentration of vapour in the main stream is greater than that in the gas film at the condensate surface, vapour molecules diffuse to the surface and condense there, giving up their latent heat. The actual rate of condensation is then determined by the combination of these two effects, and its calculation requires a knowledge of mass transfer by diffusion, as discussed in Chapter 10. 

For non-pure materials, when the phase change temperature is not constant, the phase change enthalpy can be calculated using the following expression, which includes the temperature change (between Tmi and 7m2) during phase change ... 

Note that the concentration of water in this experiment is not so large compared with the other reaction components that it remains constant under the reaction conditions. Water s concentration becomes extremely large when water is the solvent, but that is not the case with this reaction as the reactants are pure materials. Water must be included in the calculations for K. 

In Section 12.3 it was described how, with the help of a two-dimensional exchange spectrum, domain sizes in the iPP/EP blend are estimated. There an estimated value for the Xe diffusion coefficient was used. Now with experimental data from Table 12.2 the average EPDM domain size for the iPP/EPDM blend can be calculated. It was assumed that the structure of the EPDM in the blend is the same as in the pure material, (i.e., the Xe diffusion coefficient in the EPDM domains in the blend is equal to the measured D for pure EPDM and likewise for iPP), then for Xe in the EPDM domain during A = 1.2 seconds is 20 grn. In the same time for Xe in the iPP matrix is approximately 5 grn. These distances for a diffusion time of 1.3 milliseconds, the inverse of the frequency difference 770 Hz of the two lines in the Xe NMR spectrum of the blend, are 0.6 and 0.2 grn, respectively. The average size of the EPDM domains in the iPP/EPDM blend is... 

A General Description of the Hydrazine Perchlorate Deflagration Process. Let us first describe the deflagration process for hydrazine perchlorate from the above results. It is a process characterized by the formation of a molten zone which is quite turbulent and foamy it is a very erratic process, particularly for the pure material, and it is subject to very potent catalysis by copper chromite and potassium dichromate and to moderate catalysis by magnesium oxide. The process is comparatively reproducible in the presence of small amounts of fuel, and the rate obtained apparently does not depend on the nature of the fuel but only on the ambient pressure. It can be expressed by r — 0.22P where f is in cm./sec. and P in atmospheres. This corresponds to a rate, at 1 atm., some 15 times greater than that calculated by extrapolation for ammonium perchlorate (16). However the process is unstable at pressures above about 7 atm. and steady deflagration cannot be attained above this pressure. 

Here we illustrate the type of calculations required to characterize the energetics of chemical processes. Recall that the standard state for a solid or for a liquid is the pure material in its most stable form at one atmosphere at the temperature of interest. For a gas the standard state is the hypothetical ideal gas at one atmosphere and at the temperature of interest. 

Limited information is available on the uv-visible spectral properties of BjO, and related materials, both as pure materials and with transition-metal impurities. The lowest-energy fundamental absorption in B2O3 is at about 8.6 eV (Izumitani and Hirota, 1985), close to the value of 8.4 eV calculated by Tossell for B(OH)j (Tossell, 1986). To assess the environment encountered by metal ion impurities, crystal-field (d-d) transitions, uv absorption spectral transitions (e.g., 6s-)-6p in Pb ), or ESR spectra of odd electron species can be studied. For example, Lin and Angell... 

The surface areas of the monolith composites were very close to those expected for purely physical mixtures of the raw materials, calculated from the data given in Table 1. This... 

A further quantitative measure, normalization, is sometimes utilized to determine the proportion of one or more components in a mixture. This involves calculating the ratio of the individual component peak area to the sum of the areas of all component peaks in the chromatogram. It assumes that all the components have identical response factors to the detector. This is a reasonable assumption when all the components of the mixture are chemically similar. When structurally dissimilar components are analyzed, a response factor correction should be used by measuring the peak area for a known quantity of pure material and calculating the respective response factor (F) from ... 

The equality resulting from Kirchhoff s law between the directional spectral absorptivity and the emissivity, aA = eA, suggests that investigation of whether the other three (integrated) absorptivities aA, a and a can be calculated from the corresponding emissivities sx, s and e should be carried out. This will be impossible without additional assumptions, as the absorptivities ax, a and a are not alone material properties of the absorbing body, they also depend on the incident spectral intensity Kx of the incident radiation, see Table 5.1. The emissivities sx, s and s are, in contrast, purely material properties. An accurate test is therefore required to see whether, and under what conditions, the equations analogous to (5.69), ax = sx, a = s and a = e are valid. 

Data compiled from Plattner et al. (1977) and Tiggeman et al. (1981) have been normalized to reflect relative activities. Both studies reported the activity for MPOase(9), which is, therefore, taken as a reference. However, the activity of MPOase(9) is probably somewhat too high since it is based on pure material (i.e., without residual water or salt) as calculated from amino acid analysis, whereas the other data were obtained for weighed samples. MPOase(8), (9), and (11) correspond to microperoxidase with 8, 9, and 11 amino acids, respectively POase is horseradish peroxidase. 

To evaluate the behaviour of a stationary phase, a comparison of the Kovats indexes for five reference compounds belonging to different structural classes is made on the studied phase as well as on squalane, chosen as the reference standard phase for this calculation. The five indexes on a column using squalane, the only reproducible apolar phase since it is formed from a pure material, have been established once and for all (Table 2.1). 

If crude material containing tert-butyl alcohol and unreacted pyrocarbonate is used in this step, the amount of starting material present is calculated based on the mass balance for the first step, assuming a quantitative conversion, and 1.05 equivalents of lead tetraacetate are used. The checkers used only pure material and advise against carrying forward less pure carbamate.
