To light

C10H10N4O2S. White powder, which darkens on exposure to light m.p. 255-256 C. Prepared by condensing p-acet-amidobenzenesulphonyl chloride with 2-aminopyrimidine and subsequent hydrolysis. Soluble sulphadiazine is the sodium salt. Sulphadiazine is the least toxic of the more potent sulphonamides. ... 

This method is based on the expression proposed by Lee and Kesler in 1975. It applies mainly to light hydrocarbons. The average error is around 2% when the calculated vapor pressure is greater than 0.1 bar. 

We confine ourselves here to scanning probe microscopies (see Section VIII-2B) scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM), in which successive profiles of a surface (see Fig. VIII-1) are combined to provide a contour map of a surface. It is conventional to display a map in terms of dark to light areas, in order of increasing height above the surface ordinary contour maps would be confusing to the eye. 

The development of neutron diffraction by C G Shull and coworkers [30] led to the detennination of the existence, previously only a hypothesis, of antiferromagnetism and ferrimagnetism. More recently neutron diffraction, because of its sensitivity to light elements in the presence of heavy ones, played a cmcial role in demonstrating the importance of oxygen content m high-temperature superconductors. 

Forward recoil spectrometry (FRS) [33], also known as elastic recoil detection analysis (ERDA), is fiindamentally the same as RBS with the incident ion hitting the nucleus of one of the atoms in the sample in an elastic collision. In this case, however, the recoiling nucleus is detected, not the scattered incident ion. RBS and FRS are near-perfect complementary teclmiques, with RBS sensitive to high-Z elements, especially in the presence of low-Z elements. In contrast, FRS is sensitive to light elements and is used routinely in the detection of Ft at sensitivities not attainable with other techniques [M]- As the teclmique is also based on an incoming ion that is slowed down on its inward path and an outgoing nucleus that is slowed down in a similar fashion, depth infonuation is obtained for the elements detected. 

Hydrobromic acid is rather easily oxidised when exposed to light and becomes brown due to the bromine liberated. Otherwise, its properties are those of a strong acid, similar to hydrochloric acid. 

All the silver halides are sensitive to light, decomposing eventually to silver. In sunlight, silver chloride turns first violet and finally black. The use of these compounds in photography depends on this (see below). (All silver salts are, in fact, photosensitive—the neck of a silver nitrate bottle is black owing to a deposit of silver.)... 

Chloroform was formerly used in medicine as an anaesthetic. One disadvantage for this purpose is the ready oxidation which chloroform undergoes on exposure to light and air, generating the poisonous phosgene, or carbonyl chloride, COCU- This is counteracted by storing the liquid in dark amber-... 

Ethyl iodide is a heavy liquid, of b.p. 72° and of d, 1 94 insoluble in water, When freshly distilled it is colourless, but on prolonged exposure to light it darkens in colour owing to the liberation of free iodine. Its chemical properties are almost identical with those of ethyl bromide given on pp. 102 and 103. 

Phenylhydrazine is, however, frequently supplied in the form of its hydro chloride or sulphate, since these salts on exposure to light darken less rapidly than the free base. If these salts are used, however, osazone formation is unsatisfactory, partly because the mineral acid formed by hydrolysis of... 

Iodobenzene, as usually prepared, is a very pale yellow liquid of b.p. 188°, and d, 1 83. The freshly distilled pure liquid i colourless, but soon redevelops the yellow colour on exposure to light. Iodobenzene is insoluble in water. 

Pure phenol is a colourless crystalline substance, having m.p. 43°, and b.p. 182° on exposure to air, it slowly sublimes, and on exposure to light, develops a pink colour. It has a characteristic odour, and a limited solubility in water. Phenol in dilute aqueous solution has strongly antiseptic properties, but the crystalline substance should not be allowed to come in contact with the skin, as it may cause severe blistering. 

Phenylhydrazine on exposure to light slowly darkens and eventually becomes deep red in colour salts of the base share this property but to a lesser degree, the sulphate and acetate (of the common salts) being most stable to light. Phenylhydrazine is largely used in organic chemistry to characterise aldehydes and ketones as their phenyl-hydrazones (pp. 342, 345), and carbohydrates as their osazones (pp. 136-140). It is readily reduced thus in the process of osazone formation some of the phenylhydrazine is reduced to aniline and ammonia. On the... 

Allyl Iodide. Use 29 g. (34 ml.) of allyl alcohol and 340 g. (200 ml.) of 57 per cent, hydriodic acid 84 g. of crude iodide are obtained. Upon adding 29 g. (34 ml.) of allyl alcohol to the combined residue in the flask and the aqueous layer and distilling as before, a further 72 g. of crude allyl iodide may be isolated. B.p. 99-101° (mainly 100°). The compound is very sensitive to light the distillation should therefore be conducted in a darkened room and preferably in the presence of a little silver powder. 

Chloroform undergoes oxidation to the very poisonous phosgene upon exposure to light and air. Commercial specimens are therefore stored in brown bottles and contain 1-2 per cent, of alcohol the latter converts the toxic phosgene into the harmless substance diethyl carbonate ... 

Preparation of SchlfT s reagent. Method 1. Dissolve 0- 2 g. of pure p.rosaniline hydrochloride in 20 ml. of a cold, freshly-prepared, saturated aqueous solution of sulphur dioxide allow the solution to stand for a few hours until it becomes colourless or pale yellow. Dilute the solution to 200 ml. and keep it in a tightly, stoppered bottle. If the bottle is not adequately stoppered, the reagent will gradually lose sulphur dioxide and the colour wUl return. The solution keeps well if not unnecessarily exposed to light and air. 

Pure aniline has a b.p. of 184°. When freshly distilled it is a colourless liquid, but becomes discoloured on standing, particularly when exposed to light owing to atmospheric oxidation. The colour may usually be removed by distillation from a little zinc dust.
