A qualitative discussion of the change in the nature of the interface trajectories shown on the right-hand side of Figures 4.2.6(d) is also in order for a concentrated suspension. The rate at which the interface AA drops, i.e. v (= (dzAA/dt)) changes with time. As more and more clarified liquid appears at the top, the particle concentration below AA increases. This reduces the value of ... 

Arbitrary the book can be divided into two complementary parts. The first one describes the physical and chemical basics leading to description of the method of semiconductor sensors. The mechanisms of underlying processes are given. These processes involve interaction of gas with the surface of semiconductor adsorbent which brings about tiie change of electric and physics characteristics of the latter. Various models of absorption-induced response of electric and physics characteristics of semiconductor adsorbent are considered. Results of numerous physical and chemical experiments carried out by the authors of this book and by other scientists underlying the method of semiconductor sensors are scrupulously discussed. The possibility of qualitative measurements of ultra-small concentrations of molecules, atoms, radicals as well as excited particles in gases, liquids and on surfaces of solids (adsorbents and catalysts) is demonstrated. 

From the discussion in Section 7.5, it is clear that the absorbance at the wavelength of maximum absorbance increases as the concentration increases and decreases as the concentration decreases. This is true not just at the wavelength of maximum absorbance but at all wavelengths. This means that an entire absorption spectrum is affected by concentration changes. It is important to note, however, that the pattern of the absorption—the characteristic of the spectrum that makes it useful for qualitative... 

Many factors can change the catalytic activity of an enzyme. Those discussed in this book are the concentrations of substrates, protons (pH), temperature and inhibitors. The effects of these are discussed from a qualitative point of view, with more quantitative descriptions presented in Appendices 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5. 

The problem of crystal growth from supercooled liquids has been formulated in terms of a similar model based on the interfacial tension of microcrystals in the solution. A number of experimental studies which have been made have given further support to the qualitative concepts of the model. The time lag in nucleation required for the distribution of nuclei to change from the equilibrium value at saturation to the stationary concentration at supersaturation has been discussed in some detail by Kantrowitz. ... 

At first, step-by-step increases in the protein concentration results in only rather small increases in the shear viscosity. Above a certain concentration the viscosity increases very strongly. At the water/air interface, in most cases, a maximum in the concentration dependence of the shear viscosity is found, which can be discussed on the basis of conformational changes in the interfacial layer. At the interface between two liquids the situation seems to be more complicated and qualitatively different results are obtained. The differences may be connected with the additional freedom... 

The expression of T2 is much more complex than and its dependence on alcohol concentration cannot be simply assessed. However for a qualitative discussion, we recall that I/X2 is proportional to (cmc) " (8), where r is the number of amphiphilic ions constituting the associated species at the minimum of the micelle size distribution curve, and which may be considered as micelle nuclei (8). The value of r for normal detergents, in the absence of alcohol, is of about 10 (8,30). In previous studies rapid changes of have been explained in terms of changes of cmc and r (31). A similar explanation is likely to hold for the effect of addition of alcohol on T2, but the situation may somewhat be more complex as alcohol may also be incorporated to micelle nuclei. If we neglect this effect, take r = 10 and consider the effect of O.IM pentanol on the T2 of a O.IM TTAB solution, one is led to assume a decrease of r from 10 to 6 to explain the observed decrease of T2, as the cmc is decreased by a factor of 2 upon addition of O.IM pentanol. 

The model introduced in [2] and discussed in [3] has been modified in two ways The sorption of the carrier to the soil is not infiuenced by the contaminant and thereby the contaminant can be adsorbed either to the mobile or to the immobile carrier. The qualitative behaviour of the effective isotherm has been discussed with the use of Langmuir isotherms for the sorption of carrier and contaminant to the soil and for the sorption of the contaminant to the carrier. The transition from co-sorption to co-transport depending on the carrier concentration and the change in curvature of the effective isotherm are present in the shown model, too. 

It is possible, by methods that we shall discuss later, to reconstruct the qualitative dynamics of a system from the measurement of only a single variable. However, the more species whose concentrations can be measured, the easier it is to elucidate a mechanism and the more rigorously that mechanism can be tested. The most impressive study of multiple species in a chemical oscillator was carried out by Vidal et al. (1980), who were able, by a combination of techniques, to monitor the concentrations of Ce" , Ce , Br2, Br, bromomalonic acid, O2, and CO2 in the BZ reaction. In the following sections, we will look at the most widely employed techniques spectroscopic and potentiometric methods. In principle, and occasionally in practice, essentially any technique that can be used to detect changes in concentration can be utilized to monitor the systems that we are... 

The quantitative study of chemical equilibrium and the rate of chemical reactions will be taken up in Chapter 19. It is often j ssible to reach a useful qualitative conclusion about a chemical system, however, simply by applying Le Chatelier s principle. The example that we are discussing shows that a chemical reaction may be made to proceed first in one direction and then in the opposite direction simply by changing the concentration of one or more of the reacting substances.
