XI 5 and

The analysis of 72/, now follows the analysis of F Z) which was made in Sec. XI.5, and by applying these results wo have two possible extremes for the values of 72/ . When the critical energj E for the association is zero, we have... 

The solution to this problem is discussed in detail in Chapter 18 and is given by Xj = 2, Xi = 5, and X3 = 4. The solution easily can be verified by substituting the results (the values of Xj, X2, and X3) back into the three linear equations. 

We now have two simultaneous algebraic equations in the unknowns Xi(5) and X2(s). Following insertion of the given initial values and simplifying, the transformed system becomes... 

The first and second critical velocities of the water and air flows as shown as functions of particle diameter in Fig. XI.7. As we should expect, the first critical velocity for wind erosion exceeds the velocity for erosion by a flow of water, owing to the difference between the adhesive forces in air and water. The broken line shows the change in the value of when the force of interaction between the particles exceeds their weight (see Fig. XI.5 and 31, 37, 38). In this case the first critical velocity produces the detachment of the adhering particles. The value of this velocity may exceed Vj 2> velocity required to produce actual flight...

Polymers typically exhibit a high-affinity adsorption isotherm as shown in Fig. XI-5 here the adsorbed amount increases very rapidly with bulk concentration and then becomes practically independent of concentration.

The polymer molecular weights x 10 are (-0) 11, (O) 67, (( )) 242, (( )) 762, and (O) 1340. Note that all the isotherms have a high-affinity form except for the two lowest molecular weights.

Irreversible adsorption discussed in Section XI-3 poses a paradox. Consider, for example, curve 1 of Fig. XI-8, and for a particular system let the equilibrium concentration be 0.025 g/lOO cm, corresponding to a coverage, 6 of about 0.5. If the adsorption is irreversible, no desorption would occur on a small dilution on the other hand, more adsorption would occur if the concentration were increased. If adsorption is possible but not desorption, why does the adsorption stop at 6 = 0.5 instead of continuing up to 0 = 1 Comment on this paradox and on possible explanations. 

Separations based upon differences in the chemical properties of the components. Thus a mixture of toluene and anihne may be separated by extraction with dilute hydrochloric acid the aniline passes into the aqueous layer in the form of the salt, anihne hydrochloride, and may be recovered by neutralisation. Similarly, a mixture of phenol and toluene may be separated by treatment with dilute sodium hydroxide. The above examples are, of comse, simple apphcations of the fact that the various components fah into different solubihty groups (compare Section XI,5). Another example is the separation of a mixture of di-n-butyl ether and chlorobenzene concentrated sulphuric acid dissolves only the w-butyl other and it may be recovered from solution by dilution with water. With some classes of compounds, e.g., unsaturated compounds, concentrated sulphuric acid leads to polymerisation, sulphona-tion, etc., so that the original component cannot be recovered unchanged this solvent, therefore, possesses hmited apphcation. Phenols may be separated from acids (for example, o-cresol from benzoic acid) by a dilute solution of sodium bicarbonate the weakly acidic phenols (and also enols) are not converted into salts by this reagent and may be removed by ether extraction or by other means the acids pass into solution as the sodium salts and may be recovered after acidification. Aldehydes, e.g., benzaldehyde, may be separated from liquid hydrocarbons and other neutral, water-insoluble hquid compounds by shaking with a solution of sodium bisulphite the aldehyde forms a sohd bisulphite compound, which may be filtered off and decomposed with dilute acid or with sodium bicarbonate solution in order to recover the aldehyde. 

Step 3. The neutral components. The ethereal solution (E remaining after the acid extraction of Step 2 should contain only the neutral compounds of Solubility Groups V, VI and VII (see Table XI,5). Dry it with a little anhydrous magnesium sulphate, and distil off the ether. If a residue is obtained, neutral compounds are present in the mixture. Test a portion of this with respect to its solubility in concentrated sulphuric acid if it dissolves in the acid, pour the solution slowly and cautiously into ice water and note whether any compound is recovered. Examine the main residue for homogeneity and if it is a mixture devise procedures, based for example upon differences in volatility, solubility in inert solvents, reaction with hydrolytic and other reagents, to separate the components. 

The conditional association constant for [18]aneN4 ( cyclic spermine ) with ATP - at pH 7.5 is calculated from the (3L value (Table 5) and protonation constants (Table 1) to be 2.4x 105 M-1, which is larger than the association constants for the linear spermidine (9 xi 02 M ) and spermine (9.5 x 103 M-1)23). It is also of interest that cyclic spermine is selective for ATP over AMP (ratio association constants is 700), while linear spermine prefers ATP to AMP only by a ratio of 26 to 1 43). The selective complexation of biologically important anions is of particular interest, especially if the ligands are converted into selective anion carriers by attachment of lipophilic hydrocarbon chains. 

Of the fundamental nonalternant hydrocarbons, only two prototypes were known about fifteen years ago azulene (XI, Fig. 5), the molecular structure of which was determined by Pfau and Plattner and fulvene (XIX) synthesized by Thiec and Wiemann. Early in the 1960 s many other interesting prototypes have come to be synthesized. Doering succeeded in synthesizing heptafulvene (XX) fulvalene (XXI) and heptafulvalene (XXIII). Prinzbach and Rosswog reported the synthesis of sesquifulvalene (XXII). Preparation of a condensed bicyclic nonalternant hydrocarbon, heptalene (VII), was reported by Dauben and Bertelli . On the other hand, its 5-membered analogue, pentalene (I), has remained, up to the present, unvanquished to many attempts made by synthetic chemists. Very recently, de Mayo and his associates have succeeded in synthesizing its closest derivative, 1-methylpentalene. It is added in this connection that dimethyl derivatives of condensed tricyclic nonaltemant hydrocarbons composed of 5- and 7-membered rings (XIV and XV), known as Hafner s hydrocarbons, were synthesized by Hafner and Schneider already in 1958.
