Justify each choice. (a.) ® brass; (b.) magnesium oxide (MgO); (c.) Plexiglass ; (d.) polychloroprene; (e.) boron carbide (B4C); and (f.) steel. 3) Site the difference between atomic mass and atomic weight. 4) Silicon has three naturally occurring isotopes: 92.23% of 28Si, with an atomic weight of 27.9769 amu, 4.68% of 29Si, with an atomic wight of 28.9738 amu, and 3.69% of 30Si, with an atomic weight of 29.938 amu. On the basis of these data, confirm that the average atomic weight of Si is 28.09. 5) Indium has two naturally occurring isotopes: 113In, with an atomic weight of 112.904 amu, and 115In, with an atomic weight of 114.904 amu. If the average atomic weight for In is 114.818 amu, calculate the fraction-of-occurrences of these two isotopes. 6) Address the following concepts concerning atomic mass. 1. How many grams are there in one amu of material? 2. Mole, in the context of this book, is taken in units of gram-mole. On this basis, how many atoms are there in a pound-mole of a substance? 7) Relative to electrons and electronic states, what does each of the four quantum numbers specify? 8) Give the electron configurations for the following ions: P5+,P3−, Sn4+, Se2−,I− and Ni2+. 9) Potassium iodide (KI) exhibits predominately ionic bonding. The K+ and I− ion have electron structures that are identical to which two inert gases? 10) Without consulting Callister Figure 2.8 or Table 2.2, determine whether each of the following atomic electron configurations is an inert gas, a halogen, an alkali metal, an alkaline earth metal, or a transition metal. List the number of valence electrons for each atom (except for the transition metals).

Calculate the force of attraction between the two ions at their equilibrium interionic separation (i.e., when the ions just touch one another). 2. What is the force of repulsion at this same separation distance? 12) The force of attraction between a divalent cation and a divalent anion is 1.67 × 10−8 N. If the ionic radius of the cation is 0.080 nm, what is the anion radius? Here we’re provided with the two pieces of information: the force of attraction between a cation/anion pair and the cation’s atomic radius. With this information and an understanding of the Coulomb interaction we can calculate the anion radius. The force of attraction between two isolated ions is defined by Callister Eq. 2.13: 13) The net potential energy between two adjacent ions, EN, may be represented by the sum of Callister equations 2.9 and 2.11. That is: A B E = − + (1.1) N r rn Determine the equilibrium ionic bond energy, E0, in terms of the parameters A, B, and n. Note that equilibrium occurs when the net force on the ions is zero. Use the following procedure: 1. Differentiate EN with respect to r to acquire the expression for the interatomic force. 2. Assume two adjacent ions a EN versus r is minimum at E0. 3. Solve for r in terms of A, B, and n, which yields r0, the equilibrium interionic spacing. 4.

Superimpose on a single plot (by hand or using plotting software) EA, ER, and the net energy EN up to r = 1.0 nm. Hint: You may have to truncate the plot on the y-axis for good visualization. 2. From this plot, derive the equilibrium spacing, r0 and the magnitude of the bonding energy, E0 at the equilibrium spacing. + - + 3. Now consider instead a K -Cl bonding pair. The K ion is larger, which changes the repulsive term ER to be: 5.80 × 10−6 eV − nm9 E = (1.4) R r9 + - Without plotting the new EN, how do you expect E0 and r0 to change for the K -Cl ion pair? 15) Briefly discuss the main differences

    Xu et al. Bioresour. Bioprocess. (2017) 4:34 DOI 10.1186/s40643-017-0165-5 REVIEW Open Access Recent progress on deep eutectic solvents in biocatalysis Pei Xu1,2, Gao‑Wei Zheng3, Min‑Hua Zong1,2, Ning Li1 and Wen‑Yong Lou1,2* Abstract Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are eutectic mixtures of salts and hydrogen bond donors with melting points low enough to be used as solvents. DESs have proved to be a good alternative to traditional organic solvents and ionic liq‑ uids (ILs) in many biocatalytic processes. Apart from the benign characteristics similar to those of ILs (e.g., low volatil‑ ity, low infammability and low melting point), DESs have their unique merits of easy preparation and low cost owing to their renewable and available raw materials. To better apply such solvents in green and sustainable chemistry, this review frstly describes some basic properties, mainly the toxicity and biodegradability of DESs. Secondly, it presents several valuable applications of DES as solvent/co-solvent in biocatalytic reactions, such as lipase-catalyzed transester‑ ifcation and ester hydrolysis reactions. The roles, serving as extractive reagent for an enzymatic product and pretreat‑ ment solvent of enzymatic biomass hydrolysis, are also discussed. Further understanding how DESs afect biocatalytic reaction will facilitate the design of novel solvents and contribute to the discovery of new reactions in these solvents.

Polymers e.g. rubber toughened systems. Can either get complete mixing on the atomic/molecular level, or phase separation. Phase Diagrams allow us to map out what happens under different conditions (specifically of concentration and temperature).

This can be rewritten in terms of concentrations of the two types of atoms: nA/N = cA nB/N = cB and using Stirling's approximation Smix = -Nk (cAln cA + cBln cB) / kN mix S AB0.5 This is a parabolic curve. There is always a positive entropy gain on mixing (note the logarithms are negative) – so that entropic considerations alone will lead to a homogeneous mixture. The infinite slope at cA=0 and 1 means that it is very hard to remove final few impurities from a mixture.

    Thermodynamics and Kinetics of Nucleation in Binary Solutions

    1 Thermodynamics and kinetics of nucleation in binary solutions Nikolay V. Alekseechkin Akhiezer Institute for Theoretical Physics, National Science Centre “Kharkov Institute of Physics and Technology”, Akademicheskaya Street 1, Kharkov 61108, Ukraine Email: [email protected] Keywords: Binary solution; phase equilibrium; binary nucleation; diffusion growth; surface layer. A new approach that is a combination of classical thermodynamics and macroscopic kinetics is offered for studying the nucleation kinetics in condensed binary solutions. The theory covers the separation of liquid and solid solutions proceeding along the nucleation mechanism, as well as liquid-solid transformations, e.g., the crystallization of molten alloys. The cases of nucleation of both unary and binary precipitates are considered. Equations of equilibrium for a critical nucleus are derived and then employed in the macroscopic equations of nucleus growth; the steady state nucleation rate is calculated with the use of these equations. The present approach can be applied to the general case of non-ideal solution; the calculations are performed on the model of regular solution within the classical nucleation theory (CNT) approximation implying the bulk properties of a nucleus and constant surface tension. The way of extending the theory beyond the CNT approximation is shown in the framework of the finite- thickness layer method. From equations of equilibrium of a surface layer with coexisting bulk phases, equations for adsorption and the dependences of surface tension on temperature, radius, and composition are derived. Surface effects on the thermodynamics and kinetics of nucleation are discussed. 1. Introduction Binary nucleation covers a wide class of processes of phase transformations which can be divided into three groups: (i) gas-liquid (or solid) transformations, (ii) liquid-gas transformations, and (iii) transformations within a condensed state.

Thus engineering materials attain their special properties. Macroscopic basic unit of a material is called component. It refers to a independent chemical species. The components of a system may be elements, ions or compounds. A phase can be defined as a homogeneous portion of a system that has uniform physical and chemical characteristics i.e. it is a physically distinct from other phases, chemically homogeneous and mechanically separable portion of a system. A component can exist in many phases. E.g.: Water exists as ice, liquid water, and water vapor. Carbon exists as graphite and diamond. Mixtures – Solutions – Phases (contd…) When two phases are present in a system, it is not necessary that there be a difference in both physical and chemical properties; a disparity in one or the other set of properties is sufficient. A solution (liquid or solid) is phase with more than one component; a mixture is a material with more than one phase. Solute (minor component of two in a solution) does not change the structural pattern of the solvent, and the composition of any solution can be varied. In mixtures, there are different phases, each with its own atomic arrangement. It is possible to have a mixture of two different solutions! Gibbs phase rule In a system under a set of conditions, number of phases (P) exist can be related to the number of components (C) and degrees of freedom (F) by Gibbs phase rule.

Stradi∗ Received/Recibido: 16 Feb 2004 Abstract The determination of critical points of mixtures is important for both practical and theoretical reasons in the modeling of phase behavior, especially at high pressure. The equations that describe the behavior of complex mixtures near critical points are highly nonlinear and with multiplicity of solutions to the critical point equations. Interval arithmetic can be used to reliably locate all the critical points of a given mixture. The method also verifies the nonexistence of a critical point if a mixture of a given composition does not have one. This study uses an interval Newton/Generalized Bisection algorithm that provides a mathematical and computational guarantee that all mixture critical points are located. The technique is illustrated using several ex- ample problems. These problems involve cubic equation of state models; however, the technique is general purpose and can be applied in connection with other nonlinear problems.

    Determination of Supercooling Degree, Nucleation and Growth Rates, and Particle Size for Ice Slurry Crystallization in Vacuum

    crystals Article Determination of Supercooling Degree, Nucleation and Growth Rates, and Particle Size for Ice Slurry Crystallization in Vacuum Xi Liu, Kunyu Zhuang, Shi Lin, Zheng Zhang and Xuelai Li * School of Chemical Engineering, Fuzhou University, Fuzhou 350116, China; [email protected] (X.L.); [email protected] (K.Z.); [email protected] (S.L.); [email protected] (Z.Z.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Academic Editors: Helmut Cölfen and Mei Pan Received: 7 April 2017; Accepted: 29 April 2017; Published: 5 May 2017 Abstract: Understanding the crystallization behavior of ice slurry under vacuum condition is important to the wide application of the vacuum method. In this study, we first measured the supercooling degree of the initiation of ice slurry formation under different stirring rates, cooling rates and ethylene glycol concentrations. Results indicate that the supercooling crystallization pressure difference increases with increasing cooling rate, while it decreases with increasing ethylene glycol concentration. The stirring rate has little influence on supercooling crystallization pressure difference. Second, the crystallization kinetics of ice crystals was conducted through batch cooling crystallization experiments based on the population balance equation. The equations of nucleation rate and growth rate were established in terms of power law kinetic expressions. Meanwhile, the influences of suspension density, stirring rate and supercooling degree on the process of nucleation and growth were studied. Third, the morphology of ice crystals in ice slurry was obtained using a microscopic observation system. It is found that the effect of stirring rate on ice crystal size is very small and the addition of ethylene glycoleffectively inhibits the growth of ice crystals.

    Solidification Most Metals Are Melted and Then Cast Into Semifinished Or Finished Shape

    Solidification Most metals are melted and then cast into semifinished or finished shape. Solidification of a metal can be divided into the following steps: •Formation of a stable nucleus •Growth of a stable nucleus. Formation of stable Growth of crystals Grain structure nuclei Polycrystalline Metals In most cases, solidification begins from multiple sites, each of which can produce a different orientation The result is a “polycrystalline” material consisting of many small crystals of “grains” Each grain has the same crystal lattice, but the lattices are misoriented from grain to grain Driving force: solidification ⇒ For the reaction to proceed to the right ∆G AL AS V must be negative. • Writing the free energies of the solid and liquid as: S S S GV = H - TS L L L GV = H - TS ∴∴∴ ∆GV = ∆H - T∆S • At equilibrium, i.e. Tmelt , then the ∆GV = 0 , so we can estimate the melting entropy as: ∆S = ∆H/Tmelt where -∆H is the latent heat (enthalpy) of melting. • Ignore the difference in specific heat between solid and liquid, and we estimate the free energy difference as: T ∆H × ∆T ∆GV ≅ ∆H − ∆H = TMelt TMelt NUCLEATION The two main mechanisms by which nucleation of a solid particles in liquid metal occurs are homogeneous and heterogeneous nucleation. Homogeneous Nucleation Homogeneous nucleation occurs when there are no special objects inside a phase which can cause nucleation. For instance when a pure liquid metal is slowly cooled below its equilibrium freezing temperature to a sufficient degree numerous homogeneous nuclei are created by slow-moving atoms bonding together in a crystalline form.

    Chapter 9: Other Topics in Phase Equilibria

    Chapter 9: Other Topics in Phase Equilibria This chapter deals with relations that derive in cases of equilibrium between combinations of two co-existing phases other than vapour and liquid, i.e., liquid-liquid, solid-liquid, and solid- vapour. Each of these phase equilibria may be employed to overcome difficulties encountered in purification processes that exploit the difference in the volatilities of the components of a mixture, i.e., by vapour-liquid equilibria. As with the case of vapour-liquid equilibria, the objective is to derive relations that connect the compositions of the two co-existing phases as functions of temperature and pressure. 9.1 Liquid-liquid Equilibria (LLE) 9.1.1 LLE Phase Diagrams Unlike gases which are miscible in all proportions at low pressures, liquid solutions (binary or higher order) often display partial immiscibility at least over certain range of temperature, and composition. If one attempts to form a solution within that certain composition range the system splits spontaneously into two liquid phases each comprising a solution of different composition. Thus, in such situations the equilibrium state of the system is two phases of a fixed composition corresponding to a temperature. The compositions of two such phases, however, change with temperature. This typical phase behavior of such binary liquid-liquid systems is depicted in fig. 9.1a. The closed curve represents the region where the system exists Fig. 9.1 Phase diagrams for a binary liquid system showing partial immiscibility in two phases, while outside it the state is a homogenous single liquid phase. Take for example, the point P (or Q).

    Notes on Phase Seperation Chem 130A Fall 2002 Prof

    Notes on Phase Seperation Chem 130A Fall 2002 Prof. Groves Consider the process: Pure 1 + Pure 2 Æ Mixture of 1 and 2 We have previously derived the entropy of mixing for this process from statistical principles and found it to be: ∆ =− − Smix kN11ln X kN 2 ln X 2 where N1 and N2 are the number of molecules of type 1 and 2, respectively. We use k, the Boltzmann constant, since N1 and N2 are number of molecules. We could alternatively use R, the gas constant, if we chose to represent the number of molecules in terms of moles. X1 and X2 represent the mole fraction (e.g. X1 = N1 / (N1+N2)) of 1 and 2, respectively. If there are interactions between the two ∆ components, there will be a non-zero Hmix that we must consider. We can derive an expression ∆H = 2γ ∆ ∆ for Hmix using H of swapping one molecule of type 1, in pure type 1, with one molecule of type 2, in pure type 2 (see adjacent figure). We define γ as half of this ∆H of interchange. It is a differential interaction energy that tells us the energy difference between 1:1 and 2:2 interactions and 1:2 interactions. By defining 2γ = ∆H, γ represents the energy change associated with one molecule (note that two were involved in the swap). ∆ γ Now, to calculate Hmix from , we first consider 1 molecule of type 1 in the mixed system. For the moment we need not be concerned with whether or not they actually will mix, we just want ∆ to calculate Hmix as if they mix thoroughly.
