Figure 3 Idealized pH dependence of a ribozyme reaction. Ideal pH-species plots and pH-/cobs profiles according to a kinetic model for general acid/base catalysis. The solid lines depict a mechanism in which the species with the lower pKa (pKa,1) acts as the general base (shown by blue lines), and the species with the higher pKa (pKa,2) acts as the general acid (shown by red lines). The black line indicates the observed pH dependence of the reaction rate. The dotted lines simulate a mechanism in which the catalytic roles of the species with pKa,1 and pKa,2 have been switched.

Spreadsheet Summary In the first exercise in Chapter 10 of Applications of Microsoft Excel in Analytical Chemistry, a spreadsheet is developed to calculate the electrode potentials as a function of the ratio of reductant-to-oxidant concentration ([R]/[0]) for the case of two soluble species. Plots of E versus [R]/[0] and E versus log([R]/[0]) are made, and the slopes and intercepts are determined. The spreadsheet is modified for metal/metal ion systems. 

Static model (Langmuir 1979), which assumes metal cation-OH bonding is purely electrostatic and, therefore, proportional to the coulombic function. Metal-OH complexing is stronger and becomes increasingly covalent (inner sphere) as + l) values increase for species plotting above the... 

Figure 3.5 Plot of the association constant of some 1 1 metal cation-hydroxy complexes at zero ionic strength (see Chap. 4) versus the electrostatic function luZon/irti + Toh). where the association reaction is written Af + OH"=A/OH " , and z and r are the charge and radius in nanometers (nm) or angstroms (A) (1 nm = 1 A) of cation M and OH ( oh = 1-40 nm). Cation radii are from Shannon and Prewitt (1969), log values from Baes and Mesmer (1981). The slope of the straight line suggests the contribution of electrostatic (ionic) bonding to the stability of the complexes. The extent to which species plot above this line presumably reflects the increased contribution of covalency to their stabilities.

Due to a variety of possible solution reactions, flotation reagents exist in many forms such as undissociated molecules, ions, hydroxylated species and polymeric species under different solution conditions of pH and concentration. The fraction of species plotted as a function of the total concentration, pC, yields the species distribution diagram for the system. Such plots can be used to explain mechanisms by which reagents act in mineral flotation.

The fimctiong(ri is central to the modem theory of liquids, since it can be measured experimentally using neutron or x-ray diffraction and can be related to the interparticle potential energy. Experimental data [1] for two liquids, water and argon (iso-electronic with water) are shown in figure A2.4.1 plotted as a fiinction ofR = R /a, where a is the effective diameter of the species, and is roughly the position of the first maximum in g (R). For water, a = 2.82 A,... 

In the reaction kinetics context, the tenn nonlinearity refers to the dependence of the (overall) reaction rate on the concentrations of the reacting species. Quite generally, the rate of a (simple or complex) reaction can be defined in temis of the rate of change of concentration of a reactant or product species. The variation of this rate with the extent of reaction then gives a rate-extent plot. Examples are shown in figure A3.14.1. In... 

A connnon approach has been to measure the equilibrium constant, K, for these reactions as a fiinction of temperature with the use of a variable temperature high pressure ion source (see section (Bl.7.2)1. The ion concentrations are approximated by their abundance in the mass spectrum, while the neutral concentrations are known from the sample mlet pressure. A van t Hoff plot of In K versus /T should yield a straight Ime with slope equal to the reaction enthalpy (figure B1.7.11). Combining the PA with a value for basicityG at one temperature yields a value for A.S for the half-reaction involving addition of a proton to a species. While quadnipoles have been tire instruments of choice for many of these studies, other mass spectrometers can act as suitable detectors [19, 20]. 

O, a large current is detected, which decays steadily with time. The change in potential from will initiate the very rapid reduction of all the oxidized species at the electrode surface and consequently of all the electroactive species diffrising to the surface. It is effectively an instruction to the electrode to instantaneously change the concentration of O at its surface from the bulk value to zero. The chemical change will lead to concentration gradients, which will decrease with time, ultimately to zero, as the diffrision-layer thickness increases. At time t = 0, on the other hand, dc-Jdx) r. will tend to infinity. The linearity of a plot of i versus r... 

Remick and Geankoplis made flux measurements for both species in the isobaric diffusion of nitrogen and helium through their tube bundle. Pressures spanned the interval from 0.444 nim, Hg to 300,2 ram Hg, which should cover the whole range between the limits of Knudsen streaming and bulk diffusion control. Then, since K and K, are known in this case, the form of the proposed flux relations could be tested immediately by plotting the left hand side of equation (10.15) against... 

It is found in practice that for a number of compounds reacting ma the predominant species an almost horizontal plot is obtained. For compounds presumed to be nitrated via the free bases, such as 2,6-lutidine i-oxide and 3- and 5-methyl-2-pyridone, slopes of approximately unity are obtained. Since this type of plot allows for the incomplete ionisation of nitric acid, it can be used at higher acidities than plots using — ( H + logio Hjo) which break down when the condition is no longer true. 

Recently kinetic data have become available for the nitration in sulphuric acid of some of these hydroxy compounds (table 10.3). For 4-hydroxyquinoline and 4-methoxyquinoline the results verify the early conclusions regarding the nature of the substrate being nitrated in sulphuric acid. Plots of log Q against — (Lf + logioflHao) fo " these compounds and for i-methyl-4-quinolone have slopes of i-o, i-o and 0-97 at 25 C respectively, in accord with nitration via the majority species ( 8.2) which is in each case the corresponding cation of the type (iv). At a given acidity the similarity of the observed second-order rate constants for the nitrations of the quinolones and 4-methoxy-quinoline at 25 °C supports the view that similarly constructed cations are involved. Application of the encounter criterion eliminates the possibilities of a... 

The first three of a series of papers by Ridd and co-workers on Inductive and Field effects in Aromatic Substitution have appeared. Results of studies of the nitration of 4-phenylp5nidine and of 4-benzylpyridine in aqueous sulphuric acid were reported and use of the usual criteria (para 8.2) showed that in each case the conjugate acid was the species undergoing nitration. The values of where fm refers to the corresponding homocyclic compound (biphenyl or diphenylmethane) when plotted against r, the distance between the... 

The titration curve in Figure 9.1 is not unique to an acid-base titration. Any titration curve that follows the change in concentration of a species in the titration reaction (plotted logarithmically) as a function of the volume of titrant has the same general sigmoidal shape. Several additional examples are shown in Figure 9.2. 

In voltammetry a time-dependent potential is applied to an electrochemical cell, and the current flowing through the cell is measured as a function of that potential. A plot of current as a function of applied potential is called a voltammogram and is the electrochemical equivalent of a spectrum in spectroscopy, providing quantitative and qualitative information about the species involved in the oxidation or reduction reaction.The earliest voltammetric technique to be introduced was polarography, which was developed by Jaroslav Heyrovsky...

Feedstock Development. Most of the research in process in the United States in the early 1990s on the selection of suitable biomass species for energy appHcations is limited to laboratory studies and small-scale test plots. Many of the research programs on feedstock development were started in the 1970s or early 1980s.
