The changes in excess thermodynamic quantities upon the contact of two solutes immersed in a solvent are analyzed using the radial-symmetric and three-dimensional versions of the integral equation theory. A simple model mimicking a solute in water is employed. The solute-solute interaction energy is not included in the calculations. Under the isochoric condition, the solute contact always leads...

A palladium composite membrane was prepared by electroless plating on oxidized porous stainless steel support (ox-PSS). Hydrogen permeation flux through this composite membrane was measured in the temperature range of 574-674K and the pressure difference of two sides of membrane up to 90kPa. A simplified resistance model was employed to analyze the permeation behavior of hydrogen through Pd/ox-...

The reaction of ammoniacal AgNO3 solution (or aq. [Ag(NH3)2]NO3) with NaClO4 resulted in [Ag(NH3)2]ClO4 (compound 1). Detailed spectroscopic (correlation analysis, IR, Raman, and UV) analyses were performed on [Ag(NH3)2]ClO4. temperature enthalpy phase change for compound 1 determined to be 225.7 K 103.04 kJ/mol, respectively. We found the thermal decomposition involves a solid-phase quasi-intr...

This work investigates the effect of different solvent systems on solubility, thermodynamics, metastable zone width (MSZW), and crystal habit ascorbic acid, in order to help optimize its crystallization process. The solubility curves (MSZ) limits were determined experimentally using polythermal method pure solvents: water alcohols (methanol/ethanol/isopropanol), as well water-alcohol binary sys...

In this study at first , an azo dye, 2,7- naphthalenediol, 2-[(4-Bromophenyl)azo (BPAND) as a ligand has been synthesized by addition of p-Bromoaniline to the modified montomorillonite K10 clay. This ligand was characterized using 1H-NMR, UV-Vis and IR spectroscopies. Subsequently, its interaction with calf thymus deoxyribonucleicacid ,ct-DNA was investigated in 5 mM phosphate buffer solution, ...

Heat capacities measured as a function of temperature for Al(115)(+), Al(116)(+), and Al(117)(+) show two well-resolved peaks, at around 450 and 600 K. After being annealed to 523 K (a temperature between the two peaks) or to 773 K (well above both peaks), the high temperature peak remains unchanged but the low temperature peak disappears. After considering the possible explanations, the low te...

To eludicate the role in conformational stability of Cys residues buried in the interior of a protein, the thermodynamic properties of denaturation of mutant alpha subunit of Escherichia coli tryptophan synthase, in which Ser, Ala, Val or Gly was substituted for each of the three Cys residues, were analyzed using calorimetry. The mutants were less stable than the wild type, indicating that Cys ...

A quantitative understanding of the thermochemistry of cyclohexadienyl radical and 1,4-cyclohexadiene is beneficial for diverse areas of chemistry. Given the interest in these two species, it is surprising that more detailed thermodynamic data concerning the homolytic C-H bond enthalpies of such entities have not been forthcoming. We thus undertook an experimental and computational evaluation o...
