Solutes containing

However, if the liquid solution contains a noncondensable component, the normalization shown in Equation (13) cannot be applied to that component since a pure, supercritical liquid is a physical impossibility. Sometimes it is convenient to introduce the concept of a pure, hypothetical supercritical liquid and to evaluate its properties by extrapolation provided that the component in question is not excessively above its critical temperature, this concept is useful, as discussed later. We refer to those hypothetical liquids as condensable components whenever they follow the convention of Equation (13). However, for a highly supercritical component (e.g., H2 or N2 at room temperature) the concept of a hypothetical liquid is of little use since the extrapolation of pure-liquid properties in this case is so excessive as to lose physical significance. 

In a binary liquid solution containing one noncondensable and one condensable component, it is customary to refer to the first as the solute and to the second as the solvent. Equation (13) is used for the normalization of the solvent s activity coefficient but Equation (14) is used for the solute. Since the normalizations for the two components are not the same, they are said to follow the unsymmetric convention. The standard-state fugacity of the solvent is the fugacity of the pure liquid. The standard-state fugacity of the solute is Henry s constant. 

Catacarb process An extraction process used to remove carbon dioxide from process gases by scrubbing the hot gases with potassium carbonate solution containing additives which increase the hydration rate of the gas in the solution. The Vetrocoke process is similar. See Benfield process. 

The conductivity of a solution containing 1 gram equivalent of solute when measured between two large parallel electrodes at a distance of 1 cm apart is called the equivalent conductivity A. 

The most familiar type of electrokinetic experiment consists of setting up a potential gradient in a solution containing charged particles and determining their rate of motion. If the particles are small molecular ions, the phenomenon is called ionic conductance, if they are larger units, such as protein molecules, or colloidal particles, it is called electrophoresis. 

Most solid surfaces are marred by small cracks, and it appears clear that it is often because of the presence of such surface imperfections that observed tensile strengths fall below the theoretical ones. For sodium chloride, the theoretical tensile strength is about 200 kg/mm [136], while that calculated from the work of cohesion would be 40 kg/mm [137], and actual breaking stresses are a hundreth or a thousandth of this, depending on the surface condition and crystal size. Coating the salt crystals with a saturated solution, causing surface deposition of small crystals to occur, resulted in a much lower tensile strength but not if the solution contained some urea.

In addition to the case of a metal in contact with its ions in solution there are other cases in which a Galvani potential difference between two phases may be found. One case is the innnersion of an inert electrode, such as platinum metal, into an electrolyte solution containing a substance S that can exist m either an oxidized or reduced fomi tlirough the loss or gain of electrons from the electrode. In the sunplest case, we have...

One of the most important fiinctions in the application of light scattering is the ability to estimate the object dimensions. As we have discussed earlier for dilute solutions containing large molecules, equation (B 1.9.38) can be used to calculate tire radius of gyration , R, which is defined as the mean square distance from the centre of gravity [12]. The combined use of equation (B 1.9.3 8) equation (B 1.9.39) and equation (B 1.9.40) (tlie Zimm plot) will yield infonnation on R, A2 and molecular weight. 

Electrochemical methods may be classified into two broad classes, namely potentiometric metiiods and voltannnetric methods. The fonner involves the measurement of the potential of a working electrode iimnersed in a solution containing a redox species of interest with respect to a reference electrode. These are equilibrium experiments involving no current flow and provide themiodynamic infomiation only. The potential of the working electrode responds in a Nemstian maimer to the activity of the redox species, whilst that of the reference electrode remains constant. In contrast, m voltannnetric methods the system is perturbed...

In teclmology, an economic separation of tlie products of a reaction from tlie solution containing tlie catalyst is necessary. Distillation is a commonly used metliod and, for it to work successfully, tlie products and catalyst must be stable at tlie temperatures of tlie distillation, which are often relatively high some organometallic compounds, for example, may not meet tliis criterion. 

Erosion is the deterioration of a surface by the abrasive action of solid particles in a liquid or gas, gas bubbles in a liquid, liquid droplets in a gas or due to (local) high-flow velocities. This type of attack is often accompanied by corrosion (erosion-corrosion). The most significant effect of a joint action of erosion and corrosion is the constant removal of protective films from a metal s surface. This can also be caused by liquid movement at high velocities, and will be particularly prone to occur if the solution contains solid particles that have an abrasive action.
