Reactions tests for

RhHL3 was found to be an even more efficient catalyst than its Pt counterpart. However, pyridine tended to stabilize the hydrido-hydroxo-metal species relative to acetone, such that pyridine promoted the water-gas shift rate. Otsuka and coworkers28,40 tested a wide range of Rh complexes. Results of reaction testing for both Pt[P(iPr)3]3 and the Rh complexes are provided in Table 13. The conditions were 0.1 mmol catalyst, 2.0 ml H20, 20 kg/cm2 CO, and 5 ml solvent at 100 °C for 18 hours. 

In order to follow the catalytic recovering produced by the burning of coke, partially regenerated catalyst samples were submitted to standard reaction tests for benzene hydrogenation (metallic function) and normal pentane isomerization (acid function). Benzene hydrogenation was done at 423 K, 0.1 MPa, WHSV = 2 h 1, and molar ratio H2/Bz = 20. 200 mg of catalyst were loaded, which was reduced at 533 K with H2 for 2 h before the test. The isomerization of n-pentane was performed at 773 K, 0.1 MPa, WHSV = 2 h 1 and molar ratio H n = 6. 200 mg of catalyst were loaded, and were reduced with hydrogen at 773 K for 2 h before the test.

Free water in jet fuels can be detected by the use of the Karl Fischer titration method (ASTM D-1744) or by observing color changes when chemicals go into aqueous solution (ASTM D-3240). The standard water reaction test for jet fuel (ASTM D-1094, IP 289) is the same as for aviation gasoline, but the interface and separation ratings are more critically defined. Test assessment is by subjective visual observation and, although quite precise when made by an experienced operator, the test can cause rating difficulties under borderline conditions. As a consequence, a more objective test, known as the water separometer test, is now included in many specifications (ASTM D-2550). 

In the presence of catalyst, the reaction is understood to occur via parallel paths with contributions from the uncatalyzed and catalyzed paths. The total rate constant (kT) is equal to the sum of the rate constants of the catalyzed (kC) and uncatalyzed (kU) reactions. Hence, kC=kT-kU. The reaction orders have been determined from the slopes of log kc versus log (concentration) plots by varying the concentration of L-trp, Os(VIII), OH-, and I04-, in turn, while keeping the other concentrations constant. The order in both [DPC] and [Os(Vlll)j was found to be unity. The order in [L-trp] and [OH-] was found to be less than unity, and in [periodate] to be negative and less than unity. It is well known that [9] Os(VIII) exists as (0s04(0H)2]2+ in aqueous alkaline medium. It was found that the increase in ionic strength increased the rate of reaction and decrease in dielectric constant of the medium increased the rate of reaction. Initially added products did not have any significant effect on the rate of reaction. Test for free radicals indicated the participation of free radical in the reaction [6]. These experimentally determined orders and results could be well accommodated in Scheme 2.

Figure C2.17.8. Powder x-ray diffraction (PXRD) from amoriDhous and nanocry stalline Ti02 nanocrystals. Powder x-ray diffraction is an important test for nanocrystal quality. In the top panel, nanoparticles of titania provide no crystalline reflections. These samples, while showing some evidence of crystallinity in TEM, have a major amoriDhous component. A similar reaction, perfonned with a crystallizing agent at high temperature, provides well defined reflections which allow the anatase phase to be clearly identified.

The reaction between CaiOH), + COj to produce sparingly soluble CaCOj is the common test for carbon dioxide. 

This reaction is used as a test for carbon dioxide. Passage of an excess of carbon dioxide produces the soluble hydrogencarbonate ... 

The solid has a layer structure (p. 434). Lead(ir) iodide, like lead(Il) chloride, is soluble in hot water but on cooling, appears in the form of glistening golden spangles . This reaction is used as a test for lead(II) ions in solution. 

Arsenic present only in traces (in any form) can be detected by reducing it to arsine and then applying tests for the latter. In Marsh s test, dilute sulphuric acid is added dropwise through a thistle funnel to some arsenic-free zinc in a flask hydrogen is evolved and led out of the flask by a horizontal delivery tube. The arsenic-containing compound is then added to the zinc-acid solution, and the delivery tube heated in the middle. If arsenic is present, it is reduced to arsine by the zinc-acid reaction, for example ... 

This reaction is a useful test for a sulphite or for moist sulphur dioxide, which turns dichromate paper (filter paper soaked in potassium dichromate) from yellow to green. 

Thus, filler paper which has been dipped into a solution of potassium dichromate turns green in the presence of sulphur dioxide. This reaction provides the usual test for sulphur dioxide. 

The reactions of aqueous solutions of nickel(II) salts with hydroxide ions, with excess ammonia, with sulphide ion and with dimethyl-glyoxime (see above) all provide useful tests for nickel(II) ions. 

Copper(II) ions in aqueous solution are readily obtained from any copper-containing material. The reactions with (a) alkali (p. 430), (b) concentrated ammonia (p 413) and (c) hydrogen sulphide (p. 413) provide satisfactory tests for aqueous copper(II) ions. A further test is to add a hexacyanoferrate(II) (usually as the potassium salt) when a chocolate-brown precipitate of copper(II) hexacyanoferrate(II) is obtained ...

Note cautiously the characteristic odour of acetaldehyde which this solution possesses. Then with the solution carry out the following general tests for aldehydes described on p. 341 Test No. I (SchiflF s reagent). No. 3 (Action of sodium hydroxide). No. 4 (Reduction of ammoniacal silver nitrate). Finally perform the two special tests for acetaldehyde given on p. 344 (Nitroprusside test and the Iodoform reaction). 

Tests for Unsaturation. The above reactions are used as the general tests for the presence of double or triple bonds joining carbon atoms in an organic compound. 

Note, (a) Aqueous solutions of formaldehyde and acetaldehyde give these addition products, which are so soluble that they rarely separate this reaction is therefore an unsatisfactory test for these aldehydes. (6) These addition products are also formed by ketones (p. 345). 

Gives some of the tests for acetaldehyde, but more feebly e.g., it restores the colour to SchifF s reagent, gives a yellow resin with NaOH, and responds to the nitroprusside test. With ammoniacal AgN03, it gives a silver minor only after 2 -3 minutes warming. It does not give the iodoform reaction. 

Sulphuric add test. To 0-5 g. of oxalic acid or of an oxalate, add I ml. of cone. H2SO4 and warm CO and COg are evolved (cf. formic acid). The CO burns with a blue flame. Detect the COg by passing the mixed gases evolved into lime-water. It is essential to test for the COj in a separate reaction, or (if the same test-tube is used) before testing for CO. 

Note. All but the purest samples of monomethylaniline contain sufficient aniline to give positive (although possibly weak) reactions to certain tests for aniline (particularly Tests i and 4). If it is suspected that aniline is present solely as an impurity, the positive tests for monomethylaniline (particularly Test 4 below) should be applied. 

Chloroform and iodoform give also sodium formate in this reaction CHCI3 -h 4NaOH = HCOONa -h 3NaCl -f zH O. A portion of the solution, before the addition of the HNO3, should therefore be tested for formic acid (Tests, p. 350) ensure however that the solution is neutralised where necessary during these tests.
