Representative values

Any change taking place which results in an increase in entropy has a positive entropy change (AS). Most spontaneous thermodynamic processes are accompanied by an increase in entropy. Entropy has units of Joules per degree K per mole. For representative values see table on p. 393. 

As a first step in the direction outlined here some manufacturers and BAM last year discussed the problems and the possible procedures of such a system of quality assurance. As a result of this meeting round robin tests for the harmonization of the measurements of film system parameters and a possible procedure of surveillance of the quality of film systems were proposed. Closely related to these the BAM offers to perform the classification of film systems. But as during the production of films variations of the properties of the different batches cannot be avoided, the results of measurements of films of a single batch will be restricted to this charge, while only the measurements and mean of several batches of a film type will give representative values of its properties. This fact is taken into account already in section 4 of the standard EN 584-1 which can be interpreted as a kind of continuous surveillance. In accordance with this standard a film system caimot be certified on the base of measurements of a single emulsion only. 

The relative measurement error in concentration, therefore, is determined by the magnitude of the error in measuring the cell s potential and by the charge of the analyte. Representative values are shown in Table 11.7 for ions with charges of+1 and +2, at a temperature of 25 °C. Accuracies of 1-5% for monovalent ions and 2-10% for divalent ions are typical. Although equation 11.22 was developed for membrane electrodes, it also applies to metallic electrodes of the first and second kind when z is replaced by n. 

Selectivity As described earlier, most ion-selective electrodes respond to more than one analyte. For many ion-selective electrodes, however, the selectivity for the analyte is significantly greater than for most interfering ions. Published selectivity coefficients for ion-selective electrodes (representative values are found in Tables 11.1 through 11.3) provide a useful guide in helping the analyst determine whether a potentiometric analysis is feasible for a given sample.

A dispersion factor, defined as the ratio of the number of surface atoms to the total number of atoms ia the particle, is commonly used to describe highly dispersed systems that do not exhibit a particularly high surface-area-to-volume ratio (22). Representative values for 10-, 100-, and 1000-nm particles are, respectively, on the order of 0.15—0.30, 0.40, and 0.003—0.02, depending on the specific dimensions of the atoms or molecules that comprise the particles. Other quantities can be used to describe the degree of dispersion (6,7), but these tend to assume, at least, quasi-equUibrium conditions that are not always met (7,23). 

Note that the theoretical spall strength now depends upon the cohesive energy as well as the bulk modulus. Representative values for selected metals are shown in Table 8.1. These can be compared with experimental spall strengths in later sections. 

Bodi MO theory and experimental measurements provide a basis for evaluation of the energetic effects of conjugation between a double bond and adjacent substituents. Table 1.16 gives some representative values. The theoretical values AE are for the isodesmic reaction... 

An extensive series of hydrocarbons has been studied in cyclohexylamine, with the use of cesium cyclohexylamide as base. For many of the compounds studied, spectroscopic measurements were used to determine the relative extent of deprotonation of two hydrocarbons and thus establish relative acidity. For other hydrocarbons, the acidity was derived by kinetic measurements. It was shown that the rate of tritium exchange for a series of related hydrocarbons is linearly related to the equilibrium acidities of these hydrocarbons in the solvent system. This method was used to extend the scale to hydrocarbons such as toluene for which the exchange rate, but not equilibrium data, can be obtained. Representative values of some hydrocarbons withpAT values ranging from 16 to above 40 are given in Table 7.2. 

Further pressure will cause it to fail and release the process fluid. The yield stress is taken as a design criterion beyond which failure will occur. Table 3.1-1 provides some representative values.

Various estimates of the universal abundances of the elements have been made and, although these sometimes differ in detail for particular elements, they rarely do so by more than a factor of 3 (10 ) on a scale that spans more than 12 orders of magnitude. Representative values are plotted in Fig. 1.1, which shows a number of features that must be explained by any satisfactory theory of the origin of the elements. For example ... 

As with the salts of other oxoacids, the thermal stability of nitrates varies markedly with the basicity of the metal, and the products of decomposition are equally varied/ Thus the nitrates of Group 1 and 2 metals find use as molten salt baths because of their thermal stability and low mp (especially as mixtures). Representative values of mp and the temperature (I d) at which the decomposition pressure of O2 reaches 1 atm are ... 

Sulfur iodides are a topic of considerable current interest, although compounds containing S-I bonds were, in fact, unknown until fairly recently. The failure to prepare sulfur iodides by direct reaction of the elements probably reflects the comparative weakness of the S-I bond an experimental value is not available but extrapolation from representative values for the bond energies of other S-X bonds leads to a value of 170kJmol ...

Mechanical efficiencies of steam pumps vary with the types of pump, stroke and the pressure differential. Some representative values are 55 to 80 percent for piston pumps with strokes of 3 inches and 24 inches respeedvely, and pressure differential up to 300 psi. For the same strokes a plunger design varies from 50 to 78 percent, and at over 300 psi differendal the efficiencies are 41 to 67 percent [9]. Steam required is approximately 120 Ibs/hour per BHP.

All the mechanical properties described in tests for the conventional data sheet properties represented values of short-term application of forces, and, in most cases, the data obtained from such tests are used for comparative evaluation or as controlling specifications for quality determination of materials along with short-duration and intermittent-use design requirements. 

The Debye temperature, can be calculated from the elastic properties of the solid.

If, hypothetically, the whole rock was taker to be porous, a /a would be 1 (volume sorption) this is typical for the migration in a chromatographic column. In reality, only part of the rock matrix could be available for sorption, typically giving aj/ap = 10-3 (surface sorption) for the conditions used in our studies (66). Other representative values are p =2500 kg/m3, p =1000 kg/n and e 0.001. r W...

Extensive monitoring of the chemistry of precipitation is now available fi-om networks in both North America and Europe. Representative values of the major soluble species that account for most of the measured conductance of the samples at three United States sites are shown in (Table I) (77). It will be noted that the acidity, which is measured directly as pH, is due primarily to the presence of nitrate and sulphate ions that are not balanced by associated cations. While direct pH measurements are a valid measure of precipitation acidity, Reuss (18) has proposed that a balance of the principle ionic species, as in Equation 1 would provide a more appropriate definition of the acidity in relation to possible ecosystem responses.

This equation appears to have a number of names, of which the Mark-Houwink equation is the most widely used. In order to use it, the constants K and a must be known. They are independent of the value of M in most cases but they vary with solvent, polymer, and temperature of the system. They are also influenced by the detailed distribution of molecular masses, so that in principle the polydispersity of the unknown polymer should be the same as that of the specimens employed in the calibration step that was used to obtain the Mark-Houwink constants originally. In practice this point is rarely observed polydispersities are rarely evaluated for polymers assigned values of relative molar mass on the basis of viscosity measurements. Representative values of K and a are given in Table 6.4, from which it will be seen that values of K vary widely, while a usually falls in the range 0.6-0.8 in good solvents at the 0 temperature, a = 0.5.
