Quantitative data

For many years, the technical capabilities of standard NDT methods did not allow for this approach. If NDT would have produced quantitative data on defect size from the beginning, it is highly probable that current acceptance criteria for weld defects would have used this information. Acceptance criteria would have been completely different from what they are... 

The measurement of the current for a redox process as a fiinction of an applied potential yields a voltaimnogram characteristic of the analyte of interest. The particular features, such as peak potentials, halfwave potentials, relative peak/wave height of a voltaimnogram give qualitative infonnation about the analyte electrochemistry within the sample being studied, whilst quantitative data can also be detennined. There is a wealth of voltaimnetric teclmiques, which are linked to the fonn of potential program and mode of current measurement adopted. Potential-step and potential-sweep... 

In view of this, early quantum mechanical approximations still merit interest, as they can provide quantitative data that can be correlated with observations on chemical reactivity. One of the most successful methods for explaining the course of chemical reactions is frontier molecular orbital (FMO) theory [5]. The course of a chemical reaction is rationali2ed on the basis of the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO), the frontier orbitals. Both the energy and the orbital coefficients of the HOMO and LUMO of the reactants are taken into account. 

Quite some time ago, in the 1940s, inroads were made into quantifying chemical reactivity on the basis of ordering series of reaction observations and their associated quantitative data. 

As an example, experimental kinetic data on the hydrolysis of amides under basic conditions as well as under acid catalysis were correlated with quantitative data on charge distribution and the resonance effect [13]. Thus, the values on the free energy of activation, AG , for the acid catalyzed hydrolysis of amides could be modeled quite well by Eq. (5)...

It is the purpose of this and the following chapter to report the quantitative data concerning the relationship of structure to orientation and reactivity in aromatic nitration. Where data obtained by modern analytical methods are available they are usually quoted in preference to the results of older work. Many of the papers containing the latter are, however, noted in the brief discussion which is given of interpretations of the results. 

It is worth noting that quantitative data on the rate of enolization could be obtained by polarimetry measurements since optically active thiazoline-5-ones are now available. 

The nucleophilic reacbvity of the C-5 oxygen is well documented however, no quantitative data are available. A-2-Thiazoline-5-ones (212) react at oxygen with acetyl chloride or acetic anhydride (447. 452). benzoyl chloride (447). methyl or phenyl isocyanate (467). carbamoyl chloride (453, 467). or phosphorus derivatives (468, 428) in the presence of bases to give 213, 214, 215. or 216 (Scheme 109). Strong bases such as...

From (76AHC(Si)206) results are expressed as log([major form]/[minor form]) when a form is simply indicated, no quantitative data are available on the equilibrium. 

Quantitative data are available on the effect on electrophilic substitution reactions of the fusion of a benzene ring to the b face of a furan or thiophene ring. The overall effect is to decrease reactivity this decrease is much more pronounced in the case of fusion to a furan than to a thiophene ring. As a consequence the overall reactivities of benzo[Z)]furan and benzo[Z)]thiophene are approximately equal 71AHC(13)235). 

Statistics represents a body of knowledge which enables one to deal with quantitative data reflecting any degree of uncertainty. There are six basic aspects of apphed statistics. These are ...

Counts and measurements are charac terized as random variables, that is, observations which are susceptible to chance. Virtually all quantitative data are susceptible to chance in one way or another. 

Laboratory investigations may possibly establish reaction mechanisms, but quantitative data for design purposes require pilot plant work with equipment of the type expected to be used in the plant. 

The physical data index summarizes the quantitative data given for specific compounds in the text, tables and figures in Volumes 1-7. It does not give any actual data but includes references both to the appropriate text page and to the original literature. The structural and spectroscopic methods covered include UV, IR, Raman, microwave, MS, PES, NMR, ORD, CD, X-ray, neutron and electron diffraction, together with such quantities as dipole moment, pX a, rate constant and activation energy, and equilibrium constant. 

If the compound causing the odor is known and can be chemically analyzed, it may be possible to get valid quantitative data by direct gas sampling. An example would be a plant producing formaldehyde. If the effluent were sampled for formaldehyde vapor, this could be related, through proper dispersion formulas, to indicate whether the odor would cause any problems in residential neighborhoods adjacent to the plant.

As with any analytical method, the ability to extract semiquantitative or quantitative information is the ultimate challenge. Generally, static SIMS is not used in this mode, but one application where static SIMS has been used successfully to provide quantitative data is in the accurate determination of the coverage of fluropolymer lubricants. These compounds provide the lubrication for Winchester-type hard disks and are direaly related to ultimate performance. If the lubricant is either too thick or too thin, catastrophic head crashes can occur. 

As already mentioned molecules cohere because of the presence of one or more of four types of forces, namely dispersion, dipole, induction and hydrogen bonding forces. In the case of aliphatic hydrocarbons the dispersion forces predominate. Many polymers and solvents, however, are said to be polar because they contain dipoles and these can enhance the total intermolecular attraction. It is generally considered that for solubility in such cases both the solubility parameter and the degree of polarity should match. This latter quality is usually expressed in terms of partial polarity which expresses the fraction of total forces due to the dipole bonds. Some figures for partial polarities of solvents are given in Table 5.5 but there is a serious lack of quantitative data on polymer partial polarities. At the present time a comparison of polarities has to be made on a commonsense rather than a quantitative approach. 

Although different reaction types exhibit large quantitative differences, and there are exceptions, the order 5>6>3>7>4> 8-10 is a rough guide of relative reactivity for many systems. Some quantitative data on typical reactions involving nucleophilic substitution or participation are shown in Scheme 3.4. 

For synthetic purposes, carbanions are usually generated in ether solvents, often THF or DME. There are relatively few quantitative data available on hydrocarbon acidity in such solvents. Table 7.2 contains a few entries for Cs salts. The numerical values are scaled with reference to the pAT of 9-phenylfluorene. ...
