As mentioned in Section IX-2A, binary systems are more complicated since the composition of the nuclei differ from that of the bulk. In the case of sulfuric acid and water vapor mixtures only some 10 ° molecules of sulfuric acid are needed for water oplet nucleation that may occur at less than 100% relative humidity [38]. A rather different effect is that of passivation of water nuclei by long-chain alcohols [66] (which would inhibit condensation note Section IV-6). A recent theoretical treatment by Bar-Ziv and Safran [67] of the effect of surface active monolayers, such as alcohols, on surface nucleation of ice shows the link between the inhibition of subcooling (enhanced nucleation) and the strength of the interaction between the monolayer and water. 

Technetium is a silvery-gray metal that tarnishes slowly in moist air. The common oxidation states of technetium are +7, +5, and +4. Under oxidizing conditions technetium (Vll) will exist as the pertechnetate ion, TcOr-. The chemistry of technetium is said to be similar to that of rhenium. Technetium dissolves in nitric acid, aqua regia, and cone, sulfuric acid, but is not soluble in hydrochloric acid of any strength. The element is a remarkable corrosion inhibitor for steel. The metal is an excellent superconductor at IIK and below. 

The element is a steel-white metal, it does not tarnish in air, and it is the least dense and lowest melting of the platinum group of metals. When annealed, it is soft and ductile cold-working greatly increases its strength and hardness. Palladium is attacked by nitric and sulfuric acid. 

Tellurium improves the machinability of copper and stainless steel, and its addition to lead decreases the corrosive action of sulfuric acid on lead and improves its strength and hardness. Tellurium is used as a basic ingredient in blasting caps, and is added to cast iron for chill control. Tellurium is used in ceramics. Bismuth telluride has been used in thermoelectric devices. 

At room temperature, PET is resistant to organic and moderate strength mineral acids. At elevated temperatures, PET strength loss in moderate strength acids can be appreciable. Strong acids such as concentrated sulfuric acid dissolve and depolymerize PET. 

Sulfur hexafluoride was first prepared in 1902 (1). The discovery in 1937 that its dielectric strength is much higher than that of air (2) led to its use as an insulating material for cables, capacitors (3), and transformers (4) (see Insulation,electric). Sulfur hexafluoride has been commercially available as AccuDri, SF (AUiedSignal Inc.) since 1948. It is also produced by Air Products and Chemicals in the United States and by others in Germany, Italy, Japan, and Russia. 

Sulfur hexafluoride is more stable in arcs (27) than fluorocarbons such as C2F, or refrigerants such as CCI2F2, but less stable than CF, BCl, or SiF. Exposed to 1000°C temperatures, SF decomposes to SOF2 and SF to the extent of 10 mol %. In spite of its decomposition, the dielectric strength... 

Strong" Acid Cation Excha.ngers. AH strong acid-type resins are made from styrene—DVB copolymers, with the exception of a minor quantity of phenoHc resin. Batch sulfonation using commercial strength sulfuric acid [8014-95-1] is common. 

Owing to the cycHc nature of the TBRC operation, waste heat recovery from the off-gases is not practical and the SO2 content of the gas varies with the converter cycle. In order to supply a relatively uniform flow and strength SO2 gas to a sulfuric acid plant, a system has been installed at RonnskAr whereby the SO2 from fluctuating smelter gases is partially absorbed in water. During smelter gas intermption, SO2 is stripped with air and the concentrated gas deflvered to the acid plant. 

Examples of polymers which form anisotropic polymer melts iaclude petroleum pitches, polyesters, polyethers, polyphosphaziaes, a-poly- -xyljlene, and polysdoxanes. Synthesis goals iaclude the iacorporation of a Hquid crystal-like entity iato the maia chaia of the polymer to iacrease the strength and thermal stabiHty of the materials that are formed from the Hquid crystal precursor, the locking ia of Hquid crystalline properties of the fluid iato the soHd phase, and the production of extended chain polymers that are soluble ia organic solvents rather than sulfuric acid. 

The polyamides are soluble in high strength sulfuric acid or in mixtures of hexamethylphosphoramide, /V, /V- dim ethyl acetam i de and LiCl. In the latter, compHcated relationships exist between solvent composition and the temperature at which the Hquid crystal phase forms. The polyamide solutions show an abmpt decrease in viscosity which is characteristic of mesophase formation when a critical volume fraction of polymer ( ) is exceeded. The viscosity may decrease, however, in the Hquid crystal phase if the molecular ordering allows the rod-shaped entities to gHde past one another more easily despite the higher concentration. The Hquid crystal phase is optically anisotropic and the texture is nematic. The nematic texture can be transformed to a chiral nematic texture by adding chiral species as a dopant or incorporating a chiral unit in the main chain as a copolymer (30). 

Organic Reactions. Nitric acid is used extensively ia iadustry to nitrate aHphatic and aromatic compounds (21). In many iastances nitration requires the use of sulfuric acid as a dehydrating agent or catalyst the extent of nitration achieved depends on the concentration of nitric and sulfuric acids used. This is of iadustrial importance ia the manufacture of nitrobenzene and dinitrotoluene, which are iatermediates ia the manufacture of polyurethanes. Trinitrotoluene (TNT) is an explosive. Various isomers of mononitrotoluene are used to make optical brighteners, herbicides (qv), and iasecticides. Such nitrations are generally attributed to the presence of the nitronium ion, NO2, the concentration of which iacreases with acid strength (see Nitration). 

Caro s acid is highly corrosive and a powerfiil oxidant. Its acidic properties are similar to those of sulfuric acid of equivalent strength. A strong irritant, it is toxic and should always be handled accordingly. No specific toxicological data are available. 

Depending on the strength of the product, Caro s acid should be transported ia accordance with the relevant regulations pertaining to the most appropriate sulfuric acid solution or to those of Hquid oxidizers not otherwise specified (NOS). 

The susceptibihty of dialkyl peroxides to acids and bases depends on peroxide stmcture and the type and strength of the acid or base. In dilute aqueous sulfuric acid (<50%) di-Z fZ-butyl peroxide is resistant to reaction whereas in concentrated sulfuric acid this peroxide gradually forms polyisobutylene. In 50 wt % methanolic sulfuric acid, Z fZ-butyl methyl ether is produced in high yield (66). In acidic environments, unsymmetrical acychc alkyl aralkyl peroxides undergo carbon—oxygen fission, forming acychc alkyl hydroperoxides and aralkyl carbonium ions. The latter react with nucleophiles,...
