Environmental Impact of Ambient Ozone. Ozone can be toxic to plants, animals, and fish. The lethal dose, LD q, for albino mice is 3.8 ppmv for a 4-h exposure (156) the 96-h LC q for striped bass, channel catfish, and rainbow trout is 80, 30, and 9.3 ppb, respectively. Small, natural, and anthropogenic atmospheric ozone concentrations can increase the weathering and aging of materials such as plastics, paint, textiles, and mbber. For example, mbber is degraded by reaction of ozone with carbon—carbon double bonds of the mbber polymer, requiring the addition of aromatic amines as ozone scavengers (see Antioxidants Antiozonants). An ozone decomposing polymer (noXon) has been developed that destroys ozone in air or water (157). 

On the other hand, some fish are able to synthesize long-chain polyenoic fatty acids (Kayama et al., 1963) from shorter carbon chains. Docosohexaenoic acid is laid down in coho salmon in quantities related to the size of the fish, rather than to its availability in the diet (Tinsley et al., 1973). Rainbow trout fed on 18 2 and 18 3 fatty acids can produce 20 3, 22 5 and 22 6 fatty acids in substantial quantities (Owen et al., 1975), but these workers noticed that the capacity of marine flatfish to elongate or desaturate the carbon chains was more limited. They found that 70% of the radioactivity of labelled 18 3 appeared later in the 22 6 fatty acid of rainbow trout, but that turbot converted only 3-15% of labelled precursors into polyunsaturated fatty acids of longer chain length. It was suggested that turbot in the wild probably received adequate polyunsaturated acids in their diet, which the fish therefore did not need to modify. The elongation of the carbon chains and the creation of more double bonds is also only slight in Atlantic cod, another marine teleost, presumably for the same reason (Ross, 1977). 

The colors of these pigments are due to the numerous double bonds in their structure. When bromine is added to double bonds, it saturates them and the color changes accordingly. In the tomato juice rainbow experiment, we stir bromine water into the tomato juice. The slow stirring allows the bromine water to penetrate deeper and deeper into the cylinder in which the tomato juice was placed. As the bromine penetrates, more and more double bonds will be saturated. Therefore, you may be able to observe a continuous change, a rainbow of colors, starting with the reddish tomato color at the bottom of the cylinder where no reaction occurred (since the bromine did not reach the bottom). Lighter colors will be observed on the top of the cylinder where most of the double bonds have been saturated. 

Based on the rainbow experiment, which color indicates the presence of the smallest number of double bonds Explain. 

Gauss and Bessel lived at a time when mathematicians doubled as physicists and both men knew that Newton had displayed the colors of the rainbow by passing the Sun s light through a prism. Yet neither saw the Sun s light or the light from other stars as a...

Plate 4 Maps of the short-term behavior of the periodically forced double-well oscillator. Equations, parameters, and color code as in Plate 3. However, instead of showing the system s asymptotic behavior, these plates show the color-coded value ofx(z) after only 1, 2, 3, and 4 drive cycles, respectively. The red and blue regions correspond to initial conditions that converge rapidly to one of the two attractors. A rainbow of colors is found near the basin boundary, because those initial conditions lead to trajectories that linger far from either attractor during the time shown. 

A1 Capone dressed as A1 Capone had always dressed with style. He wore a double-breasted blue serge suit, a paisley pattern silk tie, black patent leather shoes, and a pearl-grey fedora, rakishly aslant. Gold rings set with a rainbow array of deep precious stones glinted on every finger, a duck-egg diamond on his pinkie. 

The second method, known as the Kofler method, is used only for semicrystalline polymers. It consists of heating the sample by hot-stage unit mounted under a microscope and viewing it between crossed polarizers. When crystalline material melts, the characteristic double refraction from the crystalline aggregates disappears. The point at which the double refraction or birefringence (typically a rainbow color) completely disappears is taken as the melting point of the polymer. Figure 13-2 shows a commercially available apparatus. The use of a control sample for comparison is particularly helpful in both methods.
