Scheme of classification

l SCHEME OF CLASSIFICATION The methods available for the detection of anions are not as systematic as those which have been described in the previous chapter for cations. No really satisfactory scheme has yet been proposed which permits of the separation of the common anions into major groups, and the subsequent unequivocal separation of each group into its independent constituents. It must, however, be mentioned that it is possible to separate the anions into major groups dependent upon the solubilities of their silver salts, of their calcium or barium salts, and of their zinc salts these however, can only be regarded as useful in giving an indication of the limitations of the method and for the confirmation of the results obtained by the simpler procedures to be described below. 

The following scheme of classification has been found to work well in practice it is not a rigid one since some of the anions belong to more than one of the subdivisions, and, furthermore, it has no theoretical basis. Essentially the processes employed may be divided into (A) those involving the identification by volatile products obtained on treatment with acids, and (B) those dependent upon reactions in solution. Class (A) is subdivided into (i) gases evolved with dilute hydrochloric acid or dilute sulphuric acid, and (ii) gases or vapours evolved with concentrated sulphuric acid. Class (B) is subdivided into (i) precipitation reactions, and (ii) oxidation and reduction in solution. 

Sulphate, peroxodisulphate, phosphate, phosphite, hypophosphite, arsenate, arsenite, chromate, dichromate, silicate, hexafluorosilicate, salicylate, benzoate, and succinate. 

The reactions of all these anions will be systematically studied in the following pages. For convenience the reactions of certain organic acids are grouped together these include acetates, formates, oxalates, tartrates, citrates, salicylates, benzoates, and succinates. It may be pointed out that acetates, formates, salicylates, benzoates, and succinates themselves form another group all give a characteristic colouration or precipitate upon the addition of iron(III) chloride solution to a practically neutral solution. 

2 CARBONATES, CO2- Solubility All normal carbonates, with the exception of those of the alkali metals and of ammonium, are insoluble in water. The hydrogen carbonates or bicarbonates of calcium, strontium, barium, magnesium, and possibly of iron exist in aqueous solution they are formed by the action of excess carbonic acid upon the normal carbonates either in aqueous solution or suspension and are decomposed on boiling the solutions.

The hydrogen carbonates of the alkali metals are soluble in water, but are less soluble than the corresponding normal carbonates.

These methods of classification are not mutually exclusive. Thus filters usually are divided first into the two groups of cake and clarifying equipment, then into groups of machines using the same land of driving force, then further into batch and continuous classes. This is the scheme of classification underlying the discussion of filters of this subsection. Within it, the other aspects of operating cycle, the nature of the sohds, and additional factors (e.g., types and classification of filter media) will be treated explicitly or implicitly.

However, environmental awareness, in addition to commercial and technical exploitation, has resulted in considerable activity in this area, leading to a greatly expanded range of products in recent years, as well as some conflicting statements with regard to their environmental properties. The scheme of classification adopted here is as follows ...

When chemists think of paint, they wonder how paint fits into a scheme of classification of all matter. If paint can be classified as a particular form of matter, then generalizations pertaining to that class will apply to paint. These generalizations enable chemists to predict ways of making more unique and more useful paints. Chemists classify matter, anything that takes up space and has mass, as illustrated in Figure 2.1 (page 94). 

Forging various relationships into orderly schemes of classification is an important part of science. The theoretical study of classification is itself a science and is termed taxonomy [2]. Its fruits pervade many fields. In chemistry, the classic example is the periodic table. While discovered empirically, it is based on the grouping of elements with a common number of outer-shell electrons. This electron count is so fundamental that many... 

Examples of Commercial Blends. In this subsection we will review some of the commercial activity in polymer blends. We find it interesting and informative to categorize examples into specific areas that relate to both technical issues associated with these mixtures, such as miscibility or crystallinity, and the intended commercial applications, such as rubbers or fibers. Other schemes of classification could be used, and the present one is not intended to be exhaustive. Likewise, there is no intent to mention all of the commercially interesting polymer blends, but rather, the present purpose is to illustrate some of the possibilities. Information about the examples used here was obtained from product literature supplied by the companies who sell these blends and from various literature references that have attempted to review commercial developments in polymer blends (70-76). 

Human somatic cells contain 46 chromosomes, cattle 60. and fruit fly 8. Thus, the diploid number bears no relationship to the species positions in the phylogenetic scheme of classification. 

With the array of molecular configurations, possible formulation procedures, physiological requirements, and specific responses found among the organic herbicides, the most useful scheme of classification to the chemist is one that will place herbicides in groups having similar chemical properties. One such classification is shown in Table VII. 

The third scheme of classification (kitchen aids, snacks, main dishes) integrates some consumer perspective. It refers to different modes of usage, irrespective of the production technologies and distribution logistics involved. 

The high strength of the hydrogen bromide-aluminum bromide system has invalidated an entire scheme of classification of superacids (26). 

The above brief discussion of soil formation and characteristics emphasizes the wide variations that can and do exist in nature, even in comparatively small areas. In order to understand better a given soil and to know its value and relationship to other soils in other regions much effort has been put forth in an endeavor to classify soils. Our knowledge of soils and their formation has increased markedly during the past 75 years and with increases in basic knowledge have come constant and frequent changes in our schemes of classification. An extensive discussion of this subject falls outside the realm of this book. Suffice it to say that an excellent outline of the main facts, principles involved, and... 

This paper reviws the classification and dynamics of interaction between pairs of microbial populations inhabiting a common environment. A few cases of interaction between three or more populations are considered, also. The nature of the scheme of classification of interaction is described and its utility as well as its weaknesses are mentioned.

Commensalism. One of the difficulties with the scheme of classification used here is that it does not recognize differences in mechanisms of interactions. This may also be one of its strengths, though I am not so sure about that. The difficulty is well illustrated by the interaction of commensalism all of the following situations are commensalism, and all involve quite different mechanisms, (i) Population H releases a by-product of growth, P, which is required by another population, C, for its growth (ii) population H produces a set of exoenzymes, E, which attack Insoluble materials. S, to produce soluble substrates, S, which are then used by another population, C (iii) population H consumes a substance, I, which inhibits the growth of another population, C and (iv) population H produces an exoenzyme, E, which destroys a substance, I, that is toxic to another population,...

In a series of papers (for a review see Herrick [9]) a scheme of classification for doubly-excited atomic resonances was proposed. In this scheme states can be assigned some (or all) of five quanttun numbers. Three of these, K, T and A arose om a reduction of the O4 x O4 prod-...
