Figure 9.5 Distribution of water in mixtures containing an enzyme on a support suspended in two different organic solvents. The solubility of water is higher in solvent B than in solvent A. When the solvents are compared at fixed amount of water, different amounts of water are bound to the enzyme. However, at fixed water activity, the same amount of water is bound to the enzyme in the two solvents and a good evaluation of other solvent effects can be made.

The first mention of the a(x) dependence was in experimental work [265], The dielectric relaxation data of water in mixtures of seven water-soluble polymers was presented there. It was found that in all these solutions, relaxation of water obeys the CC law, while the bulk water exhibits the well-known Debye-like pattern [270,271], Another observation was that a is dependent not only on the concentration of solute but also on the hydrophilic (or hydrophobic) properties of the polymer. The seven polymers were poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP weight average molecular weight (MW) = 10,000), poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG MW = 8000), poly(ethylene imine) (PEI MW = 500,000), poly(acrylic acid) (PAA MW = 5000), poly(vinyl methyl ether) (PVME MW = 90,000), poly(allylamine) (PA1A MW = 10,000), and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA MW = 77,000). These polymers were mixed with different ratios (up to 50% of polymer in solution) to water and measured at a constant room temperature (25°C) [265]. 

It should be noted that the bands correspondent to H2O molecules in mixtures 1 is practically the same. The only difference refers to band intensities, which suggests that the content of water in mixtures 1 and 2 subjected to mechanical treatment is the same as in mixtures 3 and 4 exceeding the water content in mixtures 1 and 2 by a factor of 2 and 4, respectively.

To proceed, we need to consider whether the two chemicals we have chosen have sufficient solubility to be used, and how much of each would be needed to obtain a desired freezing-point depression. The two pieces of data we need are the solubility of the two compounds we have. chosen, and the activity coefficient of water in mixtures with these compounds as a function of composition at -25°C. The most reliable information is obtained from experimental data, and these should be obtained (from the literature or the laboratory) before a final decision is made. However, for a preliminary study of possible compounds, it is more common to use approximate predictive methods, such as UNIFAC, which we will do here.

The results obtained also confirm the higher surface activity of SML. Increasing the share of SML (with very low affinity for water) in mixtures causes a more effective reduction in a in comparison to mixtures containing ESMIS alone. Stabilization of the surface tension value at around 1% concentration indicates that micelles begin to appear in solutions at this concentration. 

The solubilization of water in mixtures of ionic surfactants was studied by Palit and co-workers [206, 207] using dodecylamine derivatives and lauryl and hexadecylammonium bromide derivatives dissolved in various organic solvents. In general, solubilization is enhanced over the value for a single surfactant when mixtures of the two surfactants are present, provided that one surfactant is hydrophilic and the other lipophilic, such as a mixture of dodecylamine chloride and dodecylamine laurate. 

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. 

An emulsion may be defined as a mixture of particles of one liquid with some second liquid. The two common types of emulsions are oil-in-water (O/W) and water-in-oil (W/0), where the term oil is used to denote the water-insoluble fiuid. These two types are illustrated in Fig. XIV-1, where it is clear that the majority or outer phase is continuous, whereas the minority or inner phase is not. These two emulsion types are distinguished by their ability to disperse oil or water-soluble dyes, their dilution with oil or water, and their conductivity (O/W emulsions have much higher conductivity than do W/0 ones see Ref. 1 for reviews). 

The phase-inversion temperature (PIT) is defined as the temperature where, on heating, an oil—water—emulsifier mixture inverts from O/W to a W/O emulsion [23]. The PIT correlates very well with the HLB as illustrated in Fig. XIV-10 [72, 73]. The PIT can thus be used as a guide in emulsifier selection. 

While most vesicles are formed from double-tail amphiphiles such as lipids, they can also be made from some single chain fatty acids [73], surfactant-cosurfactant mixtures [71], and bola (two-headed) amphiphiles [74]. In addition to the more common spherical shells, tubular vesicles have been observed in DMPC-alcohol mixtures [70]. Polymerizable lipids allow photo- or chemical polymerization that can sometimes stabilize the vesicle [65] however, the structural change in the bilayer on polymerization can cause giant vesicles to bud into smaller shells [76]. Multivesicular liposomes are collections of hundreds of bilayer enclosed water-filled compartments that are suitable for localized drug delivery [77]. The structures of these water-in-water vesicles resemble those of foams (see Section XIV-7) with the polyhedral structure persisting down to molecular dimensions as shown in Fig. XV-11. 

Most characteristics of amphiphilic systems are associated with the alteration of the interfacial stnicture by the amphiphile. Addition of amphiphiles might reduce the free-energy costs by a dramatic factor (up to 10 dyn cm in the oil/water/amphiphile mixture). Adding amphiphiles to a solution or a mixture often leads to the fomiation of a microenuilsion or spatially ordered phases. In many aspects these systems can be conceived as an assembly of internal interfaces. The interfaces might separate oil and water in a ternary mixture or they might be amphiphilic bilayers in... 

A method of estimating small amounts of water in organic liquids (and also in some inorganic salts) is that of Karl Fischer. The substance is titrated with a mixture of iodine, sulphur dioxide and pyridine dissolved in methyl alcohol. The essential reaction is ... 

The liquid becomes progressively darker in colour, and then effervesces gently as ethylene is evolved. Allow the gas to escape from the delivery-tube in T for several minutes in order to sweep out the air in F and B. Now fill a test-tube with water, close it with the finger, and invert the tube in the water in T over the delivery-tube so that a sample of the gas collects in the tube. Close the tube again with the finger, and then light the gas at a Bunsen burner at a safe distance from the apparatus. If the tube contains pure ethylene, the latter burns with a clear pale blue (almost invisible) flame if the ethylene still contains air, the mixture in the test-tube ignites with a sharp report. Allow the... 

Arrange the adaptor D so that the end dips below the surface of about 50 ml. of water contained in a small conical flask, or beaker, which is in turn surrounded by a mixture of ice and water. Place 37 (30 g-) of ethanol and 25 ml. of water in the flask A, and... 

Ethyl bromide soon distils over, and collects as heavy oily drops under the water in the receiving flask, evaporation of the very volatile distillate being thus prevented. If the mixture in the flask A froths badly, moderate the heating of the sand-bath. When no more oily drops of ethyl bromide come over, pour the contents of the receiving flask into a separating-funnel, and carefully run oflF the heavy lower layer of ethyl bromide. Discard the upper aqueous layer, and return the ethyl bromide to the funnel. Add an equal volume of 10% sodium carbonate solution, cork the funnel securely and shake cautiously. Owing to the presence of hydrobromic and sulphurous acids in the crude ethyl bromide, a brisk evolution of carbon dioxide occurs therefore release the... 

It should be emphasised that salicylic acid can be readily acetylated by Method 1, and that the above preparation of acetylsalicyclic acid is given solely as an illustration of Method 2. To employ Method 1, add 10 g. of salicylic acid to 20 ml. of a mixture of equal volumes of acetic anhydride and acetic acid, and boil gently under reflux for 30 minutes. Then pour into about 200 ml. of cold water in order to precipitate the acetylsalicylic acid (11 g.) and finally recrystallise as above. Method 2, however, gives the purer product. 

Oxamide differs from most aliphatic acid amides in being almost insoluble in water, and therefore can be readily prepared from the diethyl ester by Method 2(a). Place a mixture of 5 ml. of concentrated [d o-88o) ammonia solution and 5 ml. of water in a 25 ml. conical flask, for which a welTfitting cork is available. (The large excess of... 

Dissolve 36 g. of sodium hydroxide in 160 ml. of water contained in a 500 ml. conical flask, and chill the stirred solution to 0-5° in ice-water. Now add io-8 ml. (32-4 g.) of bromine slowly to the stirred solution exercise care in manipulating liquid bromine ) during this addition the temperature rises slightly, and it should again be reduced to 0-5°. Add a solution of 12 g. of acetamide in 20 ml. of water, in small portions, to the stirred hypobromite solution so that the temperature of the mixture does not exceed 20° the sodium acet-bromoamide is thus obtained in the alkaline solution. Now remove the flask from the ice-water, and set it aside at room temperature for 30 minutes.

Suspend the crude hydrochloride in some water in a separating-funnel and add 20% sodium hydroxide solution until the mixture is definitely alkaline and the crude phenylhydrazine base floats as a deep red oil on the surface. Now extract the phenylhydrazine twice with benzene (using about 30 ml. of benzene on each occasion) and dry the united benzene extracts with powdered... 

Add 20 g. of /)-bromoaniline to 20 ml. of water in a 250 ml. beaker, and warm the mixture until the amine melts. Now add 23 ml. of concentrated hydrochloric acid and without delay stir the mixture mechanically in an ice-water bath, so that a paste of fine /> bromo-aniline hydrochloride crystals separates. Maintain the temperature of the stirred mixture at about 5° whilst slowly adding from a dropping-funnel a solution of 8 5 g. of sodium nitrite in 20 ml. of water con tinue the stirring for 20 minutes after the complete addition of the nitrite.
