In March of 1678 Georges Pierre wrote Boyle that the members of the secret society had assembled near Nice. Then, a week later, he informed Boyle of some of the events that had taken place at this meeting. One adept had demonstrated a powder that could transform water into a transparent stone. A Polish philosopher had caused plants to flower and to bear fruit in two hours. A Chinese gentleman showed some flasks that contained a homunculus, a five-month-old foal and a fox. Meanwhile, the assembly was expecting the arrival of three adepts from the banks of the Ganges. ... 

If the Yang is too weak to transform water into body fluids, water and dampness may accumulate in the Middle-Jiao and in muscles. Patients may feel tired, heavy of body and reluctant to move. 

Why does transforming water from 100°C liquid to 100°C gas require much more energy than raising the temperature of the same amount of water from absolute zero all the way to 100°C liquid ... 

In these transformations, water is the only by-produced, so this arylation method is a state-of-the-art green route to diarylmethanes via Friedel-Crafts chemistry. 

The most large-scale and statistically reliable feature of the salinity field at a depth of 500 m is presented by the vast area of maximal salinity values (> 22.04 psu) in the western deep-water part of the Black Sea. Probably, it is related to the influence of the transformed waters of the Sea of Marmara flow in the Black Sea through the Bosporus Strait. 

In the summer months, coastal upwelling results in sharp temperature drops near the coasts (by 10-15 °C off the Crimea [7]). The transformed waters of upwelling driven from the shore by jets and eddies over distances more than 100 km toward the deep-water part of the sea feature a temperature contrast with respect to the adjacent waters of 1-2 °C (see [21,22], see also Ginzburg AI, Zatsepin AG, Kostianoy AG, Sheremet NA Mesoscale Water Dynamics , in this volume). 

In this example the standard heat of formation of H20 is available for its hypothetical standard state as a gas at 25°C. One might expect the value of the heat of formation of water to be listed for its actual state as a liquid at 1 bar or l(atm) and 25°C. As a matter of fact, values for both states are given because they are both frequently used. This is true for many compounds that normally exist as liquids at 25°C and the standard-state pressure. Cases do arise, however, in which a value is given only for the standard state as a liquid or as an ideal gas when what is needed is the other value. Suppose that this, were the case for the preceding example and that only the standard heat of formation of liquid H20 is known. We must now include an equation for the physical change that transforms water from its standard state as a liquid into its standard state as a gas. The enthalpy change for this physical process is the difference between the heats of formation of water in its two standard states ... 

An inventor is trying to sell a machine that transforms water vapor into liquid water without ever condensing the water vapor. You are asked to explain if such a process is technically possible. What is your answer ...

As discussed for DSC earlier, disadvantages of microcalorimetry include its chemical non-specificity and also a possibility that unpredictable physical changes might lead to non-Arrhenius behaviour. Such changes include unexpected phase transformations, water transfer between excipients and drugs, improperly defined rate constants, and parallel reactions of the same order but with different activation energies. 

The first gold-catalyzed addition reactions of carbon nucleophiles to allenes were only first disclosed in 2006, and the number of examples is still small. Toste and co-workers showed that allenic silyl enol ethers undergo a 5-endo- ng cyclization to hexahydroindenone derivatives in the presence of a cationic gold catalyst (Scheme 4-10). In these transformations, water or methanol is used as an external proton source for protodeauration of an intermediate vinylgold species. In an analogous manner, cyclopentenes were obtained in good yields from allenic P-ketoesters. In the presence of a palladium catalyst and an allylic halide, these substrates afford functionalized 2,3-dihydroflirans. 

Similar judgements must be made when transforming water quality objectives into local emission standards. These will be based on both the capacity of the local environment and upon the steps which it is technically and economically possible to take in order to control the discharge. This procedure has in the past been shrouded in secrecy and hence been open to considerable public criticism. However, it is now (1979) policy in Britain to publish the individual consents to discharge . 

The first result is obtained by considering the reversible path —10 C-> 0 C->—10 C for the transformation water->ice. The second result is obtained by first calculating the heat given to the environment in the spontaneous freezing at —10 C. This heat is 6666 J mol and the corresponding entropy change of the environment is... 

Some aromatic organometallics, such as p-ferrocenylaniline and p-ferro-cenylphenol, are reported as good substrates for HRP- or laccase-catalyzed polymerization [40]. These compounds are advantageous because of their high reactivity, easy control of redox transformation, water-soluble products and avoidance of deactivation of the enzyme. The unique properties of ferrocene were introduced into the polymer. The reaction process is shown in Scheme 7. The p-ferrocenylaniline was electrochemically active when adsorbed to a carbon electrode.

To transform water into water vapour at atmospheric pressure - for example by boiling - a considerable quantity of energy in the form of heat must be added. Evaporation of 1 kg of water at 100 °C consumes approx. 2300 kJ - the so-called heat of evaporation.
