Solubility factors determining

Despite this detailed familiarity with equilibrium, there is one facet we have not considered at all. What determines the equilibrium constant Why does one reaction favor reactants and another reaction favor products What factors cause sodium chloride to have a large solubility in water and silver chloride to have a low solubility Why does equilibrium favor the reaction of oxygen with iron to form FejAi (rust) but not the reaction of oxygen with gold As scientists, we cannot resist wondering what factors determine the conditions at equilibrium.

Three factors determine the effectiveness of antioxidants in polymers, namely (i) intrinsic molar activity (ii) substantivity in the polymer and (iii) solubility in the polymer. Multifunctional AOs combine multiple functions in one molecule. Sterically hindered amine stabilisers (HAS), such as Chimassorb 944, Tinuvin 622 and Tinuvin 783 are prime examples. 

McFarland et al. recently [1] published the results of studies carried out on 22 crystalline compounds. Their water solubilities were determined using pSOL [21], an automated instrument employing the pH-metric method described by Avdeef and coworkers [22]. This technique assures that it is the thermodynamic equilibrium solubility that is measured. While only ionizable compounds can be determined by this method, their solubilities are expressed as the molarity of the unionized molecular species, the intrinsic solubility, SQ. This avoids confusion about a compound s overall solubility dependence on pH. Thus, S0, is analogous to P, the octanol/water partition coefficient in both situations, the ionized species are implicitly factored out. In order to use pSOL, one must have knowledge of the various pKas involved therefore, in principle, one can compute the total solubility of a compound over an entire pH range. However, the intrinsic solubility will be our focus here. There was one zwitterionic compound in this dataset. To obtain best results, this compound was formulated as the zwitterion rather than the neutral form in the HYBOT [23] calculations. 

The main factors determining the efficiency of sodium salts of organic acids as nucleating agents for PET are alkalinity, solubility and thermal stability. These are widely varying for different families of products and a compromise has to be made between these properties. The more soluble and the more stable, then the... 

Certain factors determine distribution of drugs to the central nervous system. An important determinant is the drug s molecular size, because cerebral capillaries have tight junctions and only the smallest molecules can pass through unless there is a specific carrier mechanism. However, drugs that are highly lipid soluble may pass through the brain s perme-... 

Water solubility is determined by polymer structure (linear, branched, etc.), concentration and placement of charged species [ionomeric (cationic or anionic) or amphoteric (cationic and anioiuc)], hydrophihc/hydrophobic substituents, and hydrogen bonding, to name the more commonly encountered factors. In general, polymer water solubility requires polar functional... 

As described in chapter 6, the main factors determining the solubility of a given element in a silicate melt are the Lux-Flood acidity of its oxide and the relative proportions of the cations of different field strengths (cation charge over squared sum of cation plus ligand radii ZIA ) or charge densities (cation charge over ionic radius Z/r). 

The effect of structure and solvation on the Li quadrupolar interaction was studied for a relatively large number of cyclopentadienyllithium derivatives of known sohd state structure . As mentioned above, these complexes have been shown to form several types of structures (Scheme 3) . Again, the factors determining the structure are the steric requirements of the substituents and ligands. For solubility reasons, most of the complexes studied by X-ray crystallography are substituted, often with large trimethylsilyl substituents. 

Nevertheless, the compatibility of two rubbers is largely governed by the polarity and the Tg of the corresponding rubbers. It is very difficult to predict the miscibility of two rubbers only by inspecting the above two factors. Determination of the Hildebrand solubility parameter (<5) by calculation of the Hoy molar... 

Suitable gases in the form of supercritical fluids represent clean solvents/ carriers, which neither leave residues nor impose an environmental load. A number of factors determine the solubility of polymers in supercritical carbon dioxides (SCCO2) and these are given in Table 3.1. 

The essential factor determining the synthesis of cationic group 4 metallocene alkyls, [Cp 2ZrR]+, capable of olefin polymerisation is the utilisation of robust and poorly coordinating anions showing good solubility in inert aromatic solvents. The unusually low coordinating ability of such anions in ion pairs with cationic metallocenes is crucial for the catalytic activity [184]. 

In mammals, the first report of induction of congenital malformations attributed to extrinsic factors is a single observation in 1921. This report linked a dietary deficiency of a fat soluble factor with rudimentary limb development in pigs, subsequently determined to be vitamin A. It was not until 1929 that X-rays were shown to affect embryonic development. 

As you learned in section 8.1, the solubility of a solute is the amount of solute that dissolves in a given volume of solvent at a certain temperature. Solubility is determined by the intermolecular attractions between solvent and solute particles. You will learn more about solubility and the factors that affect it later in this section. First, however, you will look at an important property of a solution the rate of dissolving, or how quickly a solute dissolves in a solvent. 

Plots of selectivity factor (calculated using Equation 2 and the data from Table I) for mephenytoin and hexobarbital enantiomers versus CD concentration are shown in Figure 3 a,b (22) The profiles of relation oC vs [(3-CD] for these two compounds are different because two different factors determine resolution of their enantiomers difference in K- values for hexobarbital and difference in kl t ftnn values for mephenytoin. The latter case represents 5nuinteresting example the resolution of its enantiomers arises from the great differentiation in the adsorption of diastereoisomeric (3-CD complexes. The calculated selectivity factor for these complexes is ca 3 (see Table I). In this particular case selectivities of the two processes adsorption and com-plexation in the bulk mobile phase solution are opposite to each other enantioselectivity arising from selective adsorption dominating over differentiation in the solution. Unfortunately the stabilities of diastereoisomeric -CD mephenytoin complexes are relatively small and solubility of -CD in the mobile phase solution is rather limited. Therefore one cannot shift the comple-xation equilibrium...
