Polar compounds will dissolve in polar solvents because the latter will solvate the compound and thereby overcome the electrostatic forces which hold the crystal together. It is for this reason that polar compounds will not dissolve in nonpolar solvents. Similarly, nonpolar compounds -will not dissolve in polar solvents because the relatively strong intermolecular forces in the liquid would be decreased if a solution were formed. This makes the formation of a solution energetically unfavorable. 

Compositions that hold together a charge of finely divided particles and increase the mechanical strength of the resulting propellant grain when it is consolidated under pressure. Binders are usually resins, plastics, or asphaltics, used dry or in solution (-> Energetic Binders). 

In this chapter the main aim is to present partition coefficients for solutes in aqueous surfactant systems, having carried out a critical evaluation of the data. We concentrate on polar solutes. Energetics of solubilization and solubilization sites in the micelles are also discussed. 

Such an expression provides partial justification for the success of van der Waals-type equations for asymmetric polymer systems the van der Waals equation is a sum of an improved FH (actually an FV) term and a regular solution energetic term. Furthermore, analysis of the contributions (attractive and repulsive) of cubic equations of state showed that the classical (linear) combining rule for the co-volume parameter (Equation 16.66 for 12) is the best choice for size asymmetric systems. This combining rule performs much better than the Lorentz and other combining rules for the cross-co volume parameter. Using this successful arithmetic mean rule for l i2, the combinatorial-FV term of the van der Waals equation of state is functionally identical to that of the Entropic-FV model. 

Binitrophenylatton Levy and Li [163] dissolve at least 0.2 pmole of the material in 3 ml of 0.05N aqueous KCl at 40° C and adjust the pH to 8 with 0.05 potassium hydroxide using an auto-titrator. About 0.1 ml of dinitrofluorobenzene is added and the solution energetically stirred in the dark at constant pH and temperature. The end of the reaction is indicated when alkali consumption ceases. The solution is then extracted three times with ether and the aqueous phase acidified in order to precipitate the dinitrophenyl derivative. The precipitate is centrifuged off, washed with water, acetone and ether and dried in a desiccator over P2O5. 

Generally, one may state that the PES of the reaction of electrophilic substitution in the region of a transition state is much simplified as compared with the nucleophilic substitution. Therefore, the effects of solvation and small amounts of catalysts, particularly those coordinating the metal centers in XXIV, may considerably exceed the magnitude of the above-examined structural effects. One may appropriately point to the calculations on the hydrated methonium ion performed by the CNDO/2 method with a special parametrization in super-molecular approximation, and with the surrounding of 5 and 10 water molecules taken into account. They led to the conclusion that the pyramidal C4V structure, rather than the structures or Dj, is in solution energetically the most favored [83]. The structure of the first hydrated shell is shown by the formula XXVI ...
