Reactions and Titrations

After the negative has been fixed, a positive image is produced by projecting light through the negative onto photographic paper. ( American Chemical Society. Courtesy of R. N. Zare, Stanford University, Chemistry Dept.) 

Most metal ions react with electron-pair donors to form coordination compounds or complexes. The donor species, or ligand, must have at least one pair of unshared electrons available for bond formation. Water, ammonia, and halide ions are 

A ligand is an ion or a molecule that forms a covalent bond with a cation or a neutral metal atom by donating a pair of electrons, which are then shared by the two. 

Dentate (Latin) means having toothlike projections. 

The number of covalent bonds that a cation tends to form with electron donors is its coordination number. Typical values for coordination numbers are 2,4, and 6. The species formed as a result of coordination can be electrically positive, neutral, or negative. For example, copper(II), which has a coordination number of 4, forms a cationic ammine complex, Cu(NH3)4 a neutral complex with glycine, Cu(NH2CH2COO)2 and an anionic complex with chloride ion, CuClj.

The ChE inhibitors all have the indication for the treatment of mild to moderate dementia of the Alzheimer s type. Guidelines for the treatment of AD were written before the approval of memantine and recommend the use of ChE inhibitors as a valuable treatment for AD.27-29 None of the ChE inhibitors have been compared in head-to-head studies, so the decision to use one over another is based on differences in mechanisms of action, adverse reactions, and titration schedules. 

You are working for a company that many years ago conducted a number of polycondensation reaction experiments between diol and diacid monomers. You need data on the kinetics of one of these reactions from the archives, but much was lost in a flood. All you find are the results of the original experiments, where small aliquots of sample were withdrawn from the reaction vessel, quenched to low temperature to stop the reaction and titrated to determine the amount of unreacted acid functional groups. The results...

Some chapters have been reordered to better tie together related topics. The chapter on basic tools and operations in anal3dical chemistry has been moved to the front of the text (Chapter 2), at the suggestion of a number of users. Different sections of it can be assigned by your instructor as needed for the laboratory. The chapter on gravimetric analysis and precipitation equilibria (Chapter 10) has been moved to just before the one on precipitation reactions and titrations, which better aligns these related topics.
