  • Henry's Law Constants and Micellar Partitioning of Volatile Organic
    38 J. Chem. Eng. Data 2000, 45, 38-47 Henry’s Law Constants and Micellar Partitioning of Volatile Organic Compounds in Surfactant Solutions Leland M. Vane* and Eugene L. Giroux United States Environmental Protection Agency, National Risk Management Research Laboratory, 26 West Martin Luther King Drive, Cincinnati, Ohio 45268 Partitioning of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into surfactant micelles affects the apparent vapor- liquid equilibrium of VOCs in surfactant solutions. This partitioning will complicate removal of VOCs from surfactant solutions by standard separation processes. Headspace experiments were performed to quantify the effect of four anionic surfactants and one nonionic surfactant on the Henry’s law constants of 1,1,1-trichloroethane, trichloroethylene, toluene, and tetrachloroethylene at temperatures ranging from 30 to 60 °C. Although the Henry’s law constant increased markedly with temperature for all solutions, the amount of VOC in micelles relative to that in the extramicellar region was comparatively insensitive to temperature. The effect of adding sodium chloride and isopropyl alcohol as cosolutes also was evaluated. Significant partitioning of VOCs into micelles was observed, with the micellar partitioning coefficient (tendency to partition from water into micelle) increasing according to the following series: trichloroethane < trichloroethylene < toluene < tetrachloroethylene. The addition of surfactant was capable of reversing the normal sequence observed in Henry’s law constants for these four VOCs.

  • Phase Transitions in Multicomponent Systems
    Physics 127b: Statistical Mechanics Phase Transitions in Multicomponent Systems The Gibbs Phase Rule Consider a system with n components (different types of molecules) with r phases in equilibrium. The state of each phase is defined by P,T and then (n − 1) concentration variables in each phase. The phase equilibrium at given P,T is defined by the equality of n chemical potentials between the r phases. Thus there are n(r − 1) constraints on (n − 1)r + 2 variables. This gives the Gibbs phase rule for the number of degrees of freedom f f = 2 + n − r A Simple Model of a Binary Mixture Consider a condensed phase (liquid or solid). As an estimate of the coordination number (number of nearest neighbors) think of a cubic arrangement in d dimensions giving a coordination number 2d. Suppose there are a total of N molecules, with fraction xB of type B and xA = 1 − xB of type A. In the mixture we assume a completely random arrangement of A and B. We just consider “bond” contributions to the internal energy U, given by εAA for A − A nearest neighbors, εBB for B − B nearest neighbors, and εAB for A − B nearest neighbors. We neglect other contributions to the internal energy (or suppose them unchanged between phases, etc.). Simple counting gives the internal energy of the mixture 2 2 U = Nd(xAεAA + 2xAxBεAB + xBεBB) = Nd{εAA(1 − xB) + εBBxB + [εAB − (εAA + εBB)/2]2xB(1 − xB)} The first two terms in the second expression are just the internal energy of the unmixed A and B, and so the second term, depending on εmix = εAB − (εAA + εBB)/2 can be though of as the energy of mixing.

  • Grade 6 Science Mechanical Mixtures Suspensions
    Grade 6 Science Week of November 16 – November 20 Heterogeneous Mixtures Mechanical Mixtures Mechanical mixtures have two or more particle types that are not mixed evenly and can be seen as different kinds of matter in the mixture. Obvious examples of mechanical mixtures are chocolate chip cookies, granola and pepperoni pizza. Less obvious examples might be beach sand (various minerals, shells, bacteria, plankton, seaweed and much more) or concrete (sand gravel, cement, water). Mechanical mixtures are all around you all the time. Can you identify any more right now? Suspensions Suspensions are mixtures that have solid or liquid particles scattered around in a liquid or gas. Common examples of suspensions are raw milk, salad dressing, fresh squeezed orange juice and muddy water. If left undisturbed the solids or liquids that are in the suspension may settle out and form layers. You may have seen this layering in salad dressing that you need to shake up before using them. After a rain fall the more dense particles in a mud puddle may settle to the bottom. Milk that is fresh from the cow will naturally separate with the cream rising to the top. Homogenization breaks up the fat molecules of the cream into particles small enough to stay suspended and this stable mixture is now a colloid. We will look at colloids next. Solution, Suspension, and Colloid: https://youtu.be/XEAiLm2zuvc Colloids Colloids: https://youtu.be/MPortFIqgbo Colloids are two phase mixtures. Having two phases means colloids have particles of a solid, liquid or gas dispersed in a continuous phase of another solid, liquid, or gas.

A base unit is chosen and the number of base units that represent the quantity is added ahead of the base unit. Number Base unit Eg : 2 kg, 4 meters , 60 seconds ➢ Manipulations Possible : • If the nature & base unit are the same, direct addition / subtraction is permitted 2 m + 4 m = 6m ; 5 kg – 2.5 kg = 2.5 kg • If the nature is the same but the base unit is different , say, 1 m + 10 c m both m and the cm are length units but do not represent identical quantity, Equivalence considered 2 options are available. 1 m is equivalent to 100 cm So, 100 cm + 10 cm = 110 cm 0.01 m is equivalent to 1 cm 1 m + 10 (0.01) m = 1. 1 m • If the nature of the quantity is different, addition / subtraction is NOT possible. Factors used to check equivalence are known as Conversion Factors. GP-CPC-01 UNITS – CONVERSION (2) • For multiplication / division, there are no such restrictions. They give rise to a set called derived units Even if there is divergence in the nature, multiplication / division can be carried out. Eg : Velocity ( length divided by time ) Mass flow rate (Mass divided by time) Mass Flux ( Mass divided by area (Length 2) – time). Force (Mass * Acceleration = Mass * Length / time 2) In derived units, each unit is to be individually converted to suit the requirement Density = 500 kg / m3 .

  • Solving Mixture and Solution Verbal Problems
    SOLVING SOLUTION AND MIXTURE VERBAL PROBLEMS This type of problem involves mixing two different solutions of a certain ingredient to get a desired concentration of the ingredient. Before we can solve problems that involve concentrations, we must review certain concepts about percents. If you need to do this, go to the brush-up materials for solving percent problems on the Dolciani website. 1. Solution Problems Basic Equation: amount of solution concentration of substance = amount of substance Example: 40 ounces (amount of solution) of a 25% solution of acid (concentration) contains 25(40) = 10 ounces of acid Usual equation to solve for the variable: Amount of substance in solution 1 + Amount of substance in solution 2 = Amount of substance in solution 2. Mixture Problems Basic Equation: unit price # units = cost (or value) Example: 5 pounds of apples (# units) that sell for $1.20 per pound (unit price) costs 5(1.20) = $6 Using equation to solve for the variable: Cost of ingredient 1 + Cost of ingredient 2 = Cost of mixture Now let’s look at an actual mixture problem. It is easiest when solving a mixture problem to make a table to get the information organized. No matter the story line of the problem, the table can be used and labelled as necessary. Let’s look at a few examples. Example 1: Fatima’s chemistry lab stocks an 8% acid solution and a 20% acid solution. How many ounces of each must she combine to produce 60 ounces of a mixture that is 10% acid? Solution: We want to find how much of each solution must be in the mixture.

    SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIAL TO THE PAPER “THE TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE DEPENDENCE OF NICKEL PARTITIONING BETWEEN OLIVINE AND SILICATE MELT” A. K. Matzen, M. B. Baker, J. R. Beckett, and E. M. Stolper. In this Supplement, we provide seven sections that expand and/or illustrate specific topics presented in the main text. The first section is a sample calculation using our preferred partitioning expression, equation (5), from the main text. Section 2 compares our fitted values of ∆ r HT ,P ∆ r ST ,P − ref ref and ref ref for equation (5) to those calculated using tabulated thermodynamic R R data. In Section 3, we present details of the mass-balance calculations used to evaluate the experiments from both this work and the literature, and in Section 4 we describe in detail the construction of the Filter-B dataset. Section 5 details the construction and fits of the regular solution partitioning models. Section 6 is a comparison of the results of this work and the Beattie-Jones family of models. Finally, Section 7 lists all of the references incorporated into our database on olivine-liquid Ni partitioning. 1.
