Speaking rate changes

When one speaks of changing the environment to reduce corrosion, the easiest and the most obvions method is to lower the temperature. Since corrosion processes are chemical reactions, every 18°F decrease in tanperature reduces the reaction rate by half. Thus, if one can lower the tempera-tnre, the rate of corrosivity will be retarded. In addition, atmosphere can be changed by use of gases, in the sense that some metals are corroded in the absence of air and others in the presence of air. Other environmental changes involve agitation, aeration, and velocity, all of which have a decided inflnence on many materials. Behind these, a fairly easily made change in some processes is that of adjnsting the pH, which is a measure of the acidity or basicity of the solution.

These are important for startups and shutdowns, changes in production rate, changes in fe ccanposition, and changes in product specifications. Generally speaking, however, auxiliary reboilers and condensers should be avoided, if... 

SIMS is, strictly speaking, a destructive teclmique, but not necessarily a damaging one. In the dynamic mode, used for making concentration depth profiles, several tens of monolayers are removed per minute. In static SIMS, however, the rate of removal corresponds to one monolayer per several hours, implying that the surface structure does not change during the measurement (between seconds and minutes). In this case one can be sure that the molecular ion fragments are truly indicative of the chemical structure on the surface. 

If entropy changes are negligible, one nsnally speaks of enthalpic barrier heights that the reaction has to overcome. The distribntion of relaxation times or rate constants in this case may be eqnivalently considered a distribution of reaction barrier heights. 

We note from Equation 3.4 that the changing concentrations of the components in the reaction with time are, strictly speaking, only proportional to the rate of reaction, as rigorously defined in Equations 3.1 and 3.2. Experimentally, the instantaneous rates of changes of the concentrations of the components in a chemical equation are usually proportional to the instantaneous concentrations of the components themselves, each raised to some power. Such a relationship is called the rate law, or rate equation, of the reaction. For example, the rate law for the reaction of Equation 3.3 might be Equation 3.5 ... 

To lay the foundation for the following section on metrics, consider that the decomposition flux from soil is a function of the soil C stock and its decay rate. More strictly speaking, decomposition of a homogeneous reservoir is treated as a linear, donor-controlled process—meaning that the amount of C decomposed is the product of the C stock (C, gCm2), a decomposition-rate constant (k, y), and the time interval (At, y).The change in soil C stock between one time point and the next (dCldt) is the difference between the plant inputs (I) and decomposition outputs...
