Label the three 30-ml dropper bottles “Hydrochloric Acid (HCl),” “Sodium Sulfite (Na2SO3) and “Bromthymol Blue.” Label the plastic bowl “towel”. Remake stock solutions of 1M Na2SO3 (sodium sulfite), 1M HCl (hydrochloric acid), and bromthymol blue indicator as necessary. (Keep 50 ml of each on hand.) (See Materials Prep.) Refill all three labeled dropper bottles from the stock solutions. Set out the visitor instructions in a Plexiglas holder. On a tray lined with a white mat, set out the following: • Labeled plastic petri dish (with three sections) • Plastic lid for petri dish • Labeled dropper bottle of bromthymol blue • Labeled dropper bottle of HCl (hydrochloric acid) • Labeled dropper bottle of Na2SO3 (sodium sulfite) • labeled plastic bowl with clean towel U4.2 Unit 4 Environmental Chemistry Experiencing Chemistry ©2007 OMSI Experiment: Acid Rain Operating Guide DO NOT SET OUT the dropper bottle of NaOH (sodium hydroxide). Remake the stock solutions of 0.5M Na2SO3 (sodium sulfite), 0.5M NaOH (sodium hydroxide), 1M HCl (hydrochloric acid), and bromthymol blue indicator as necessary. (Keep 50 ml of each on hand.) (See Materials Prep.) Refill all four labeled dropper bottles from the stock solutions. (HCl is in the acid cabinet, NaOH is in the hydroxide cabinet, and bromthymol blue solution is in the indicator cabinet.) Bromthymol blue should be green to start. If it is blue, add one drop of 1M HCl (hydrochloric acid). If it is yellow, add one drop of 0.5M NaOH (sodium hydroxide). add these to the STOCK BOTTLE, not the dropper bottle. Wash the plastic petri dish and return it to the tub. Tightly cap all bottles and store them in an upright position in the tub. Drape the towel across the counter or public copy holder to dry out overnight. If towel is stained and yucky looking, switch it out for a clean one. Clean and leave the tray at the station. Clean the glassware and return it to the tub. Clean and return the mat to general lab storage. ◊ Once visitors have added the Na2SO3 (sodium sulfite) to the HCl (hydrochloric acid), there is a tendency for the visitors to watch this drop (in area “5”) for a reaction, The reaction is not a visible one, Advise visitors to watch the bromthymol blue drops in areas “3” and “4.” ◊ If the bromthymol is too acidic (yellow) or too basic(blue), pour the contents of the dropper bottle back into the stock bottle, mix, and then refill the dropper bottle. Do not try to adjust the pH in the little dropper bottle itself. NO2 (nitrogen dioxide) is another common origin of acid rain. It can be found in car exhaust, among other places. It will react with water to Unit 4 Environmental Chemistry U4.3 Experiencing Chemistry ©2007 OMSI Experiment: Acid Rain Operating Guide form nitric acid in a manner identical to that of the SO2 (sulfur dioxide) in this experiment. Na2SO3 (sodium sulfite) and HCl (hydrochloric acid) are hazardous substances; follow the handling and disposal instructions in Materials Prep. Consult the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for additional information. To prepare 1M HCl (hydrochloric acid): CAUTION: concentrated HCl (hydrochloric acid) is extremely corrosive. Handle it with care. Wear protective gloves, an apron, and eyewear. Use it only in the fume hood. Avoid contact with skin or clothing. Neutralize any spills with baking soda and clean up with large amounts of water. CAUTION: A large amount of heat will be evolved after you mix the HCl with water. Do not handle the beaker until it has cooled. Turn on the fume hood. Wear protective eyewear, chemical safety gloves, and an apron or a lab jacket. In the fume hood, measure 83 ml of concentrated (12.1M) HCl. Add the acid to 917 ml of dH2O (deionized water) to make one liter.

However, the optimum yields of glycerol (11.6 mg/ml of whey permeate medium) obtained in this study occurred only in the presence of 1% Na2SO3 as a steering agent. The use of other concentrations of Na2SO3, as well as 5% NaCl and 1% ascorbic acid, had no or detrimental effects on cell growth, lactose utilization, and glycerol production. Glycerol yields were greater in cultures grown from a light inoculum of K. fragilis than in cultures in which a resuspended mass of cells was introduced into the medium. The results of this study suggest that this strain of K. fragilis may be useful commercially in the utilization of cheese whey lactose and the concomitant production of glycerol.

This research aims at studying the efficiency of electrochemical processes in reducing TNT. A laboratory scale reactor was designed and developed to electrochemically reduce TNT in simulated munition wastewater. Experiments simulating batch conditions were first conducted on the laboratory scale reactor to study the effect of various parameters including applied current, type of electrolyte and the molar concentration of the electrolyte in the feed solution on the reduction kinetics of TNT. The results showed that the reduction rates of TNT increased with an increase in applied current and molar concentration of electrolyte in feed. The rates of reduction leveled off at higher currents (250 & 300 mA). Mass transfer limitations were speculated for this flattening of rate constants at higher currents. Experimental studies were conducted with two types of electrolyte in the feed- sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) and lithium sulfate (Li2SO4), and the results indicated that there was no significant difference in the reduction rates for TNT.

Urease is a virulence factor in several human pathogens, while causing severe environmental and agronomic problems. Sporosarcina pasteurii urease has been used extensively in the structural characterization of the enzyme. Sodium sulfite has been widely used as a preservative in urease solutions to prevent oxygen-induced oxidation, but its role as an inhibitor has also been suggested. In the present study, isothermal titration microcalorimetry was used to establish sulfite as a competitive inhibitor for S. pasteurii urease, with an inhibition constant of 0.19 mM at pH 7. The structure of the urease-sulfite complex, determined at 1.65 Å resolution, shows the inhibitor bound to the dinuclear Ni(II) center of urease in a tridentate mode involving bonds between the two Ni(II) ions in the active site and all three oxygen atoms of the inhibitor, supporting the observed competitive inhibition kinetics.

  • Oxidation and Degradation Products of Common Oxygen Scavengers
    2002 Fall Oxidation And Degradation Products Of Common Oxygen Scavengers By John D. Zupanovich, ChemTreat, Inc. For many years, sulfite and hydrazine were the principal materials used to protect boiler systems from oxygen attack. When hydrazine became listed as a suspected carcinogen, a search began for a replacement. During the search it became apparent that strong reducing agents (oxygen scavengers) should do more than react with and remove dissolved oxygen. They should also form protective oxide films on the metal surfaces of the steam/water system. Thus, the reaction with metal oxides is equally as important as the reaction with dissolved oxygen. During the past decade, a number of materials have been proposed for use as oxygen scavengers and metal passivators. The reactions are frequently very complex. This article is an attempt to explain the oxidation and degradation reactions of the more common oxygen scavengers in current use. In each case, the material will react with oxygen, and with metal oxides. The efficiency of the reaction is dependent on time, temperature, concentration and system pH. In general, as the pH, time, and temperature increase, the reaction becomes more complete. Since time is usually of the essence, many materials are catalyzed to decrease the reaction time. As a rule, multi-valent metal ions such as copper and iron will increase the reaction rate. Certain organic compounds such as hydroquinone and its derivatives have also been found to be effective catalysts. Sulfite Sulfite reacts with and consumes dissolved oxygen in aqueous solutions: 2- 2- 2SO3 + O2 2SO4 (1) At temperatures of 430°F and above, sulfite will react with iron oxide: 2- 2- 3Fe2O3 + SO3 2Fe3O4 + SO4 (2) However, because sulfite begins to decompose at 250°F, this reaction is rarely encountered in boiler systems.
