Stopped mixing ratio

The observed noble-gas abundances and isotopic ratios on Venus are summarized in Tables 3 and 4. The helium mixing ratio is a model-dependent extrapolation of the value measured in Venus upper atmosphere, where diffusive separation of gases occurs. The main differences between Venus and Earth are that Venus is apparently richer in He, Ar, and Kr than the Earth, and the low " Ar/ Ar ratio of — 1.1 on Venus, which is —270 times smaller than on Earth. The low " Ar/ Ar ratio may reflect more efficient solar-wind implantation of Ar in solid grains accreted by Venus and/or efficient early outgassing that then stopped due to the lack of plate tectonics. Wieler (2002) discusses the noble-gas data. Volkov and Frenkel (1993) and Kaula (1999) describe implications of the " Ar/ Ar ratio for outgassing of Venus. 

The exchange reactions were initiated by dilution of a sample solution containing the enzyme (active site concentration 0.1-0.5 mM) with D2O at a mixing ratio of 1+1 in a chemical quenched-flow device. The exchange reactions were stopped by addition of DCl and trichloroacetic acid. In addition, this procedure causes a rapid and complete denaturation and precipitation of the protein and a release of the CO factor. After separation of the denatured protein by centrifugation, the NMR spectra of the supernatant containing the ThDP can be recorded (Kem et al.,... 

The time resolution of stopped flow experiments is typically 1-2 ms,21 and is determined by the time required to mix the solutions, flow the mixed solution to the detection chamber, and stop the flow. Smaller detection cells can be used to decrease the time resolution at the expense of the signal-to-noise ratio of the detected signals. Various kinetic traces have to be averaged to achieve good kinetic profiles and sample volumes of milliliters with concentrations of micromolar to millimolar are required. 

A reactor charged with 4,4 -diphenylether-dicarboxylic acid, hydrazinesulfate, and polyphosphoric acid were mixed and reacted for 1 hour at 160°C and then further heated to 180°C. This mixture was then treated with 4-aminobenzenesulfonic acid and heated for an additional 2 hours. The molar solubility ratio of polyphosphoric acid/hydrazinesulfate and the molar monomer ratio ofhydrazinesulfatc/4,4 -dipheny-lether-dicarboxylic acid were kept constant at 10 and 1.2, respectively. The mixture was further treated with sufficient 4-aminobenzenesulfonic acid so that the molar ratio of in situ formed polyhydrazide was maintained at 1 1. After heating was stopped, the mixture was poured into warm water containing 5 wt% sodium hydroxide solution and a dark blue fiber obtained. The fiber was washed in distilled water and then dried in a vacuum furnace for 48 hours at 100°C. The dried material had a nitrogen/carbon ratio of 0.174 and a sulfur/carbon ratio of 0.058. The product had an Mw of... 

The advantages of the bipolar pulse technique include speed (discrete measurements at a rate as high as 30 kHz), accuracy, and signal-to-noise ratio. The system has been employed as a detector in automated conductometric titrations and in stopped-flow mixing systems with excellent results. 

Figure 20.4 gives an indication of why given coloring methods are effective at different letdown ratios. Liquid color coats each pellet, particularly if an intermixer has been used. No further time or energy is needed to distribute the material to the pellet level. The limitation in use of liquid color is at high letdown ratios. Too much carrier can lubricate too much. Also, if there is an excess of liquid color, it can separate out to some extent, particularly if mixed resin and color are allowed to sit in a stopped extruder. 

The kinetic constants k+ and k-1, which are properties of the molecules A and B and their interaction under specific conditions, are more difficult to determine experimentally than their ratio, which does not require resolving rapid transients to measure. One method to measure rate constants is by stopped-flow experiments, in which small reacting volumes are rapidly mixed and reaction progress followed, usually using some spectrophotometric assay.
