Unsaturated solutions, definition

D Choice A is a restatement of Le Chatelier s Principle. B is a definition of equilibrium. A constant humidity (Choice C) occurs if the rate of vaporization and condensation are equal, indicating equilibrium. No solid is present in an unsaturated solution. If solid is added, all of it dissolves indicating a lack of equilibrium. D would be true for a saturated soution. 

Attention should be paid to the fact that the ratio of Pd and phosphine ligand in active catalysts is crucial for determining the reaction paths. It is believed that dba is displaced completely with phosphines when Pd2(dba)3 is mixed with phosphines in solution. However the displacement is not eom-plcte[16]. Also, it should be considered that dba itself is a monodentate alkene ligand, and it may inhibit the coordination of a sterically hindered olefinic bond in substrates. In such a case, no reaction takes place, and it is recommended to prepare Pd(0) catalysts by the reaction of Pd(OAc)2 with a definite amount of phosphinesflO]. In this way a coordinatively unsaturated Pd(0) catalyst can be generated. Preparation of Pd3(tbaa)3 tbaa == tribenzylidene-acetylacetone) was reported[17], but the complex actually obtained was Pd(dba)2[l8],... 

As Skinner has pointed out [7], there is no evidence for the existence of BFyH20 in the gas phase at ordinary temperatures, and the solid monohydrate of BF3 owes its stability to the lattice energy thus D(BF3 - OH2) must be very small. The calculation of AH2 shows that even if BFyH20 could exist in solution as isolated molecules at low temperatures, reaction (3) would not take place. We conclude therefore that proton transfer to the complex anion cannot occur in this system and that there is probably no true termination except by impurities. The only termination reactions which have been definitely established in cationic polymerisations have been described before [2, 8], and cannot at present be discussed profitably in terms of their energetics. It should be noted, however, that in systems such as styrene-S C/4 the smaller proton affinity of the dead (unsaturated or cyclised) polymer, coupled, with the greater size of the anion and smaller size of the cation may make AHX much less positive so that reaction (2) may then be possible because AG° 0. This would mean that the equilibrium between initiation and termination is in an intermediate position. 

Heat the test tube with its contents to obtain a transparent solution again, carefully cool it, and rub the inner wall of the test tube containing the solution with a glass rod. Explain the precipitation of crystals. Give definitions of saturated, unsaturated, and supersaturated solutions. 

The chemical behavior of waste in the unsaturated zone is a large unknown. For example, definition of the number of sorption sites available to a solute is difficult or impossible because unknown and variable amounts are occupied by interstitial gas rather than water. Are the kinetics of reaction affected by less-than-complete saturation These are not trivial questions, as most of the low-level disposal sites are constructed in the unsaturated zone. Winograd (9) suggested that certain areas underlain by thick unsaturated zones might make feasible repositories for high-level wastes. 

Phase-solubility analysis17 (sometimes referred to as phase equilibrium purification) is the quantitative determination of the purity of a substance through the application of precise solubility measurements. At a given temperature, a definite amount of a pure substance is soluble in a definite quantity of solvent. The resulting solution is saturated with respect to the particular substance, but the solution remains unsaturated with respect to other substances even though such substances may be closely related in chemical structure and physical properties to the particular substance being tested. There are examples of the use of this technique in HPLC methods development18 and in the characterization of reference standards,19 but the... 

For heterogeneous enantioselective catalysts there are some more candidates on the borderline of the definition. For example, when a certain a.P-unsaturated ketone was hydrogenated over Pd/C in the presence of 0.5 equiv. ephedrine, up to 36% ee of the product was obtained. It is not clear whether the demanded amount of the chiral molecule indicates a necessity of the interaction with the substrate in solution, or just a weak adsorption constant of the chiral molecule.

The Saturated Solution.—From what has been said above, it will be seen that the condition of saturation of a solution can be defined only with respect to a certain solid phase if no solid is present, the system is undefined, for it then consists of only two phases, and is therefore bivariant. Under such circumstances not only can there be at one given temperature solutions of different concentration, all containing less of one of the components than when that component is present in the solid form, but there can also exist solutions containing more of that component than corresponds to the equilibrium when the solid is present. In the former case the solutions are unsaturated, in the latter case they are supersaturated with respect to a certain solid phase in themselves, the solutions are stable, and are neither unsaturated nor supersaturated. Further, if the solid substance can exist in different allotropic modifications, the particular form of the substance which is in equilibrium with the solution must be known, in order that the statement of the solubility may be definite for each... 

The products to be considered in this section are commonly called polyester resins. However, they need better definition to distinguish them from several other commercial polyesters which are also called resins. Perhaps the shortest definition is that an unsaturated polyester resin is composed of two major components, one of which is a linear polyester prepared from a glycol and an unsaturated dibasic acid, and the second is a vinyl monomer in which the first is soluble and with which it will copolymerize. The sirup so formed is commonly but incorrectly called a polyester resin. No really effective definition has been devised. The above definition is satisfactory for the sirup. The common name is used for both the copoly-merizable solution and the pol merized final product. In the latter state, the unsaturation has ceased to exist. 

Surface unsaturation in microcrystalline carbons, as measured by the fixation of bromine from aqueous solution, is thought to arise from the elimination of acidic C02-complexes, the elimination of two moles of complex generating one ethylenic bond. This is said to be a definite quantity characteristic of a carbon, and it can be enhanced by surface oxidation (treatment with potassium persulphate) followed by evacuation. 

Letcher and Marsicano have measured the activity coefficients of other unsaturated C5 and Q straight-chain hydrocarbon solutes in n-octadecane, n-octadec-l-ene, n-hexadecane, and n-hexadec-l-ene solvents. The activity coefficients for these systems do not form simple trends because the various types of double bonds (terminal, internal, and conjugated) influence inter-molecular interactions in different ways. Definite trends can, however, be seen in the interactional contribution Ty which is discussed in Section 5.
