A W)rd of Caution Demonstrations can be fun, and they add excitement to the teaching of chemistry. However, this volume is intended foruse by professional chemists and chemistry teachers. Even the simplest demonstration is potentially dangerous when performed by someone lacking the manipulative skills and knowledge of chemistry necessary to understand the reactions involved. Every precaution must be taken to ensure the safety of the demonstrator and the students. You should follow the directions given for each demonstration andnot exceed the recommended amounts of chemicals. Contents Preface ix Properties of Atoms 1.

NON-AQJEOUS SOLVENTS FOR PREPARATION AND REACTIONS OF NITROGEN HALOGEN COMPOUNDS Jochen Jander Department of Chemistry, University of Heidelberg, D 69 Heidelberg, Germany Abstract -Theimportance of non—aqueous solvents for the chemistry of haloamines is shown in more recent reaction examples. The solvents must be low-melting because of the general temperature sensitivity of the haloamines. They may take part in the reaction (formation of CH NI •CH NH (CH )2NI, NI-,.5 NH-, and NH0I.NH-)ormay e ner (ormation of I .quinuiilidin, 2 NI •1 trithylenediamine, [I(qunuclidine),] salts pure NBr, and compounds of the type R1R2NC103 with R1 and R2 =orgnicgroup or hydrogen). INTRODUCTION Non-aqueous solvents play an important role in preparation and reactions of nitrogen halogen compounds. Due to the fact, that all haloamines are derivatives of ammonia or amines, liquid ammonia or liquid organic amines are used as solvents very often. Liquid ammonia and the lower organic amines reveal, in addition, the advantage of low melting points (liquid ammonia -78, liquid monomethylamine -93.5, liquid dimethylamine -92, liquid tn-. methylamine -12k°C); these meet the general temperature sensitivity of the nitrogen halogen compounds, especially of the pure .lorganic ones. Ammonia and amines are very seldom inert solvents; they mostly take part in the reaction planned for synthesis or conversion of the haloamine. In case a reaction of the solvent is to be avoided, one has to look for a low melting inert solvent, for example methylene chloride (m.p.

  • Mathematical Modelling of the Vitamin C Clock Reaction Arxiv:1808.06010
    Mathematical modelling of the vitamin C clock reaction R. Kerr, W. M. Thomson and D. J. Smith∗ Abstract Chemical clock reactions are characterised by a relatively long induction period followed by a rapid `switchover' during which the concentration of a clock chemical rises rapidly. In addition to their interest in chemistry education, these reactions are relevant to industrial and biochemical applications. A substrate-depletive, non- autocatalytic clock reaction involving household chemicals (vitamin C, iodine, hy- drogen peroxide and starch) is modelled mathematically via a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. Following dimensional analysis the model is analysed in the phase plane and via matched asymptotic expansions. Asymptotic approxi- mations are found to agree closely with numerical solutions in the appropriate time regions. Asymptotic analysis also yields an approximate formula for the dependence of switchover time on initial concentrations and the rate of the slow reaction. This formula is tested via `kitchen sink chemistry' experiments, and is found to enable a good fit to experimental series varying in initial concentrations of both iodine and vitamin C. The vitamin C clock reaction provides an accessible model system for mathematical chemistry. 1 Introduction `Clock reactions' encompass many different chemical processes in which, following mixing of the reactants, a long induction period of repeatable duration occurs, followed by a rapid visible change. These reactions have been studied for over a century, with early examples including the work of H. Landolt on the sulphite{iodate reaction in the 1880s { for review arXiv:1808.06010v2 [math.DS] 24 Mar 2019 see Horv´ath& Nagyp´al[1], and the work of G.

The molecular and crystal structure of the adduct NF3·BF3 was studied computationally using density functional theory. It shows that the adduct exists in the form of a complex but is not ionic. The heats of formation in the gas and the condensed phase of the adduct are −1266.09 and −1276.37 kJ·mol−1, respectively, which indicates that it is stable under atmospheric conditions. The crystal form belongs to P 21/c space group. The calculated large band gap (Eg) of the crystal proves that it is stable. The conduction band (LUCO) is mainly contributed by the p orbital of N atom and the valence band (HOCO) from the p orbital of F atom. Keywords. Molecular; crystal; structure; property; theoretical study. 1. Introduction investigation even though there is limited information on the structure–property relationship, especially on the Molecular complexes containing boron trifluoride as a crystal structure of NF3 with BF3.

  • Application of Briggs-Rauscher Reaction for Measurement of Antioxidant Capacity of Croatian Wines
    APPLICATION OF BRIGGS-RAUSCHER REACTION FOR MEASUREMENT OF ANTIOXIDANT CAPACITY OF CROATIAN WINES * J. GAJDOŠ KLJUSURI Ć , S. DJAKOVI Ć, I. KRUHAK , K. KOVA ČEVI Ć GANI Ć, D. KOMES and Ž. KURTANJEK Faculty of Food Technology and Biotechnology, University of Zagreb Pierottijeva 6, 10 000 Zagreb. Croatia Briggs-Rauscher (BR) reaction is one of the most commonly studied oscillation reactions which has been applied for measurement of antioxidant activity of water-soluble substances. By addition of free radicals (from fruits or vegetables), there is an immediate quenching of oscillations. The reaction is followed potentiometrically and the inhibition time (IT), or time of no oscillations, is proportional to concentration of antioxidant. pH of BR reaction is about 2, what is similar to that of the fluids of the main digestive process (human stomach), giving in vitro information’s on antioxidant activity at “real digestion conditions” and can help in assessment of nutrition for maintenance of health and prevention of diseases. Antioxidant activities of different concentrations of native Croatian red and white wines are analysed by inhibition of BR reaction and determination of total phenols using galic acid as the calibration standard. By use of mathematical models, relative antioxidant activities of antioxidants and amounts of total phenols are estimated. Second order polynomial calibration curve is estimated in the range of 150-2500 galic acid equivalent (GAE mg l –1), with standard error of 84 GAE mg l -1.

    2018 International Conference on Biomedical Engineering, Machinery and Earth Science (BEMES 2018) Structural Regulation of Lanthanum Oxychloride and its Enhanced Photosynthetic Activity Xie Liyan Putian University, Fujian, Putian, 351100 Keywords: Structural Regulation, Lanthanum Oxychloride Abstract: BiOCl has high photocatalytic efficiency due to its unique laminar structure, reasonable restraining zone and stable property, which has attracted a lot of researches from domestic and foreign scholars. However, it has the disadvantage of narrow absorption band, so it needs to be modified by metal, semiconductor and carbon materials. The difficulty in the study of bismuth chloride is the stability and load of bismuth chloride composite. 1. Introduction At present, the energy crisis and environmental pollution have gradually affected the survival and development of human beings and become a worldwide problem. At present, photocatalytic technology can provide green hydrogen energy through solar energy decomposition of water, and also decompose organic pollutants in sewage, providing new support for energy and environmental protection. The traditional semiconductor photocatalysts are mainly TiO2 and CdS, etc. The disadvantage of these catalysts is that they have large bandgap width, which makes the catalytic efficiency low[1-2].Therefore, we need to develop a catalyst with high photoefficiency and high catalytic activity. In recent years, the two-dimensional material in terms of energy, catalytic show a broad application prospect, especially layered bismuth chloride, the material is non-toxic, stable chemical properties, optical properties of stable structure, easy to adjust and moderate band structure characteristic, in the light, showed excellent physical and chemical properties. 2. Yttrium Oxychloride Material BiOCl has high anisotropy, and its crystal structure is PbFCl, belonging to tetragonal system.
