    Addendum to Hebden: Chemistry 11 SOLUBILITY I. CALCULATING SOLUBILITY AND ION CONCENTRATIONS Once the mass of a substance present in 1 L of a solution has been experimentally measured, calculating the solubility of the substance is straightforward. EXAMPLE: It is experimentally found that 1.00 L of saturated AgBrO3(aq) contains 1.96 g of AgBrO3. What is the molar solubility of AgBrO3? (That is, what is the solubility expressed in moles per litre?) g 1mol –3 [AgBrO3] = 1.96 x = 8.31 x 10 M L 235 .8 g –3 EXAMPLE: The molar solubility of PbI2 is 1.37 x 10 M. Express this value in grams per litre. –3 mol 461.0 g g Solubility (g/L) = 1.37 x 10 x = 0.632 L 1mol L o EXAMPLE: It is experimentally found that 0.250 L of saturated CaCl2 contains 18.6 g of CaCl2 at 20 C.

  • 12 Natural Isotopes of Elements Other Than H, C, O
    12 NATURAL ISOTOPES OF ELEMENTS OTHER THAN H, C, O In this chapter we are dealing with the less common applications of natural isotopes. Our discussions will be restricted to their origin and isotopic abundances and the main characteristics. Only brief indications are given about possible applications. More details are presented in the other volumes of this series. A few isotopes are mentioned only briefly, as they are of little relevance to water studies. Based on their half-life, the isotopes concerned can be subdivided: 1) stable isotopes of some elements (He, Li, B, N, S, Cl), of which the abundance variations point to certain geochemical and hydrogeological processes, and which can be applied as tracers in the hydrological systems, 2) radioactive isotopes with half-lives exceeding the age of the universe (232Th, 235U, 238U), 3) radioactive isotopes with shorter half-lives, mainly daughter nuclides of the previous catagory of isotopes, 4) radioactive isotopes with shorter half-lives that are of cosmogenic origin, i.e. that are being produced in the atmosphere by interactions of cosmic radiation particles with atmospheric molecules (7Be, 10Be, 26Al, 32Si, 36Cl, 36Ar, 39Ar, 81Kr, 85Kr, 129I) (Lal and Peters, 1967). The isotopes can also be distinguished by their chemical characteristics: 1) the isotopes of noble gases (He, Ar, Kr) play an important role, because of their solubility in water and because of their chemically inert and thus conservative character. Table 12.1 gives the solubility values in water (data from Benson and Krause, 1976); the table also contains the atmospheric concentrations (Andrews, 1992: error in his Eq.4, where Ti/(T1) should read (Ti/T)1); 2) another category consists of the isotopes of elements that are only slightly soluble and have very low concentrations in water under moderate conditions (Be, Al).

Bains,1,3 and J.J. Petkowski1 Abstract Thousands of exoplanets are known to orbit nearby stars. Plans for the next generation of space-based and ground-based telescopes are fueling the anticipation that a precious few habitable planets can be identified in the coming decade. Even more highly anticipated is the chance to find signs of life on these habitable planets by way of biosignature gases. But which gases should we search for? Although a few biosignature gases are prominent in Earth’s atmospheric spectrum (O2,CH4,N2O), others have been considered as being produced at or able to accumulate to higher levels on exo-Earths (e.g., dimethyl sulfide and CH3Cl).

The solubility of a substance fundamentally depends on the used solvent as well as on temperature and pressure. The extent of the solubility of a substance in a specific solvent is measured as the saturation concentration where adding more solute does not increase the concentration of the solution. Most often, the solvent is a liquid, which can be a pure substance or a mixture.[1] One may also speak of solid solution, but rarely of solution in a gas (see vapor-liquid equilibrium instead). The extent of solubility ranges widely, from infinitely soluble (fully miscible[2]) such as ethanol in water, to poorly soluble, such as silver chloride in water. The term insoluble is often applied to poorly or very poorly soluble compounds. Under certain conditions, the equilibrium solubility can be exceeded to give a so-called supersaturated solution, which is metastable.[3] Solubility is not to be confused with the ability to dissolve or liquefy a substance, because the solution might occur not only because of dissolution but also because of a chemical reaction.

Definition of High Hazard (HH) Gases For these guidelines, any gas meeting one or more of the following definitions based on International Fire Code (IFC) and National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards: 1.1. Flammable gas – a material that is a gas at 68ºF (20ºC) or less at an absolute pressure of 14.7 psi (101.325 kPa) when in a mixture of 13% or less by volume with air, or that has a flammable range at an absolute pressure of 14.7 psi (101.325 kPa) with air of at least 12%, regardless of the lower limit 1.2. Pyrophoric gas – a gas with an autoignition temperature in air at or below 130ºF (54.4ºC) 1.3. Health Hazard 3 (HH3) gas – material that, under emergency conditions and according to the standards, can cause serious or permanent injury 1.4. Health Hazard 4 (HH4) gas – material that, under emergency conditions and according to the standards, can be lethal The storage and usage of a gas or gases meeting any of the above definitions must follow all applicable IFC and NFPA guidelines and the requirements outlined in this document. Consult EH&S for specific guidance on gas mixtures containing corrosive, flammable or poisonous gas components (ex. 1% carbon monoxide/nitrogen, 5% hydrogen sulfide/helium). 2.
