Sodium chloride aqueous solutions, concentrative properties

Silver nitrate in ammoniacal solution may be completely reduced to silver by aqueous arsenious oxide. The reduction is hindered by the presence of ammonium sulphate, owing to the decrease in concentration of the hydroxyl ions 5 neutral salts such as sodium sulphate or sodium nitrate have no effect. Similarly, auric chloride may be reduced to gold.6 At 20° C. an aqueous solution of vitreous arsenious oxide reacts 4 to 5 times as rapidly as an aqueous solution of the octahedral form 7 the greater rate of dissolution in water of the former variety has been mentioned (p. 137), but from supersaturated solutions of the two forms there is no appreciable difference in the rates of deposition. The explanation of the inferior reducing power of the crystalline variety may be that there exist anisotropic molecules which only slowly lose their anisotropic properties. An ammoniacal solution of arsenious oxide heated with cupric sulphate in a sealed tube at 100° C. causes reduction... 

In Equation 4.21, the activity of pure water (a) is unity and the activity of the water with the inhibitor (a ) is the product of the water concentration (xw) and the activity coefficient (xw). The water concentration is known and the activity coefficient is easily obtained from colligative properties for the inhibitor, such as the freezing point depression. For instance the activity of water in aqueous sodium chloride solutions may be obtained from Robinson and Stokes (1959, p. 476) or from any of several handbooks of chemistry and physics. 

The equilibrium properties of foam films formed from aqueous solutions of decylmethyl sulfoxide have been studied in the presence of sodium chloride and potassium thiocyanate. Stable films were formed whose thicknesses depended on the electrolyte concentration. As the electrolyte concentration was increased, a sudden increase in film thickness occurred but gradually decreased with further electrolyte addition. Examination of the electrophoretic mobility of dodecane droplets stabilized by decylmethyl sulfoxide showed an increase in mobility at about the same concentration. These data indicated that the thicker foam films were charge stabilized owing to the adsorption of the anions. The surface pressures and surface potentials of monolayers of octadecyl sulfoxide were also investigated. 

Identification of Phenols.—The reactions of phenols which are of particular value in their identification, are those that take place with alkalies, ferric chloride, and bromine water. Most phenols react with an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide to form soluble salts, but are insoluble in a solution of sodium carbonate. The behavior of phenols with these two reagents shows their weakly acidic properties, and serves to distinguish them from acids. Phenols which contain strongly negative substituents decompose carbonates, and show all the properties of acids. It is difficult, therefore, to identify as a phenol substances which contain such substituents. Ferric chloride produces marked colorations in aqueous solutions of most phenols. The reagent produces a similar effect with certain other compounds, and the formation of a color with ferric chloride can be taken, therefore, only as an indication of the presence of a phenol. With bromine water most phenols yield a precipitate of a brominated phenol. Other compounds, amines for example, are also converted into insoluble substitution-products by bromine water. Notwithstanding this fact the test is of value. Many phenols form colored products when heated with phthalic anhydride and concentrated sulphuric acid. The reaction will be described under phenolphthalein (558, 639). 

Copolymers with sites for association in aqueous solutions were pre-pared by copolymerizing acrylamide with N-alkylacrylamides or with the ampholytic monomer pairs sodium 2-acrylamido 2 methylpro-panesulfonate (NaAMPS) and 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane-dimethylammonium chloride (AMPDAC). The copolymers were characterized by elemental analysis, NMR and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and lowhangle laser and quasielastic lightscattering measurements. Rheological properties were studied as a function of microstructure, molecular weight, polymer concentration, electrolyte concentration, and shear rate. On the basis of those results, a conceptual model that is based on microheterogeneous domain formation in aqueous solutions is proposed. 

Cheng and Rodriguez [195] demonstrated that the addition of boric add (H3BO3) to poly(vinyl alcohol) solutions has hardly any effect on the gelation properties. Addition of sodium hydroxide, by which NaB(OH)4 fe formal, results in gel formation. The maximum effect is observed for [Na ]/[B] = 1 addition of more sodium hydroxide has no effect Results are shown in Fig. 52, where logG is plotted vs added sodium hydroxide logG rises linrarly with added sodium hydroxide up to the point where the sodium/borate ratio is 1. From then on, the modulus is constant This confirms the Shibayama model [193], where Na is needed to form a crosslink. From the work of Kurokawa et al. [196] it became clear that the phase behaviour of the aqueous ix>ly(vinyl alcohol)/borate system not only depends on concentration of polymer and borate, but also on the addition of alkali hydroxide and of indifferent electrolytes like sodium chloride. 

Povodyreveta/. (1997) have developedasix-term Landau expansion crossover scaling model to describe the thermodynamic properties of near-critical binary mixtures, based on the same model for pure fluids and the isomorphism principle of the critical phenomena. The model describes densities and concentrations at vapor-liquid equflibrium and isochoric heat capacities in the one-phase region. The description shows crossover from asymptotic Ising-hke critical behavior to classical (mean-field) behavior. This model was applied to aqueous solutions of sodium chloride.
