Basic Dissociation

A dilution technique is described which permits a determination of the ionization constant of amines by a conductance method, in a closed system. Small amounts (5–6 g) of the amine salt are required, making the method useful in studying isotope effects. Values of Ki for ethylamine over the temperature range 1.5–45.3 °C led to calculated values at 25 °C of ΔG = 4528.3 ± 0.8 cal/mole, ΔH = −266 ± 12 cal/mole, ΔS = −16.08 ± 0.04 cal/mole deg, ΔCp = −62.2 ± 1.8 cal/mole deg.

Abstract Freshwater crustaceans are distributed throughout the montane and lowland areas of Colombia, and are therefore a useful indicator group for how aquatic species will respond to climate change. As such, metabolic determination of physiological performance was evaluated for the Colombian pseudothelphusid crab, Neostrengeria macropa (H. Milne Edwards, 1853), over a temperature range inclusive of current temperatures and those predicted by future scenarios in the plateau around the city of Bogotá, namely from 8 °C to 30 °C. The performance results mostly aligned with previous exploratory behavioral determination of the ideal temperature range in the same species, although the metabolism increased at the highest temperature treatments, a point when exploratory behavior declined. These results indicate that this species of montane crab behaviorally compensates for increased thermal stress by decreasing its physical activity, which could have negative predator-prey consequences with changes to community structure as different species undergo climate-mediated geographic range shifts in the region. As this species is endemic to the plateau surrounding Bogotá, it also experiences a number of other stressors to its survival, including infrastructure development and invasive species.

Dissolution And Precipitation

Natural hydromagnesite (Mg5(CO3)4(OH)2·4H2O) dissolution and precipitation experiments were performed in closed-system reactors as a function of temperature from 22.5 to 75ºC and at 8.6 < pH < 10.7. The equilibrium constants for the reaction Mg5(CO3)4(OH)2·4H2O + 6H+ = 5Mg2+ + 4HCO3– + 6H2O were determined by bracketing the final fluid compositions obtained from the dissolution and precipitation experiments. The resulting constants were found to be 1033.7±0.9, 1030.5±0.5 and 1026.5±0.5 at 22.5, 50 and 75ºC, respectively. Whereas dissolution rates were too fast to be determined from the experiments, precipitation rates were slower and quantified. The resulting BET surface areanormalized hydromagnesite precipitation rates increase by a factor of ~2 with pH decreasing from 10.7 to 8.6. Measured rates are approximately two orders of magnitude faster than corresponding forsterite dissolution rates, suggesting that the overall rates of the low-temperature carbonation of olivine are controlled by the relatively sluggish dissolution of the magnesium silicate mineral.

The Impact

&lt;p&gt;The impact of atmospheric aerosol on the climate remains poorly understood. Organic aerosol makes up a significant fraction of total aerosol and is prevalent throughout the atmosphere. It can exist as a liquid, semi-solid or amorphous solid. The viscosity of organic aerosol will have an impact on transformations that organic aerosol will undergo during its lifetime such as evaporation and growth, heterogeneous and photochemical reactions as well as the ability to act as an ice nucleating particle.&amp;#160; Therefore, it is of key importance to be able to determine aerosol viscosity over a range of atmospherically relevant conditions in order to better understand the impact of organic aerosol on the climate.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Here we report proof of concept viscosity measurements of water droplets levitated in an electrodynamic balance over a range of temperatures. Charged droplets are levitated in a temperature and relative humidity-controlled environment allowing properties over a temperature range of 300 to 220 K to be studied. As the droplets evaporate they reach a point where Coulomb instabilities are induced resulting in droplet oscillations. The relaxation of these oscillations can then be probed to determine the droplet viscosity. Future work will involve determination of the viscosity of different types of organic aerosol over a broad temperature range.&lt;/p&gt;

Compressibility Coefficient

The actual problem of the possibility of using the equations of state for the gas phase of natural gas at temperatures below 250 K is considered. To solve it, the compressibility coefficients of natural gas obtained experimentally with high accuracy are required. The technique was developed and experimental study was carried out of compressibility factor aiming expanding temperature range of the state equations GERG-2004 and AGA8-DC92. The proposed technique is based on the fact that to assess the applicability of the equation of state, it is sufficient to obtain the relative value of the compressibility coefficient and not to determine its absolute value. The technique does not require complex equipment and provides high accuracy. The technique was tested on nitrogen, argon, air and methane. Uncertainty of determination of the compressibility factor is not greater than 0.1 %. For two different compositions of natural gas, obtained experimental data were demonstrated that the equations of state GERG-2004 and AGA8-92DC provide uncertainty of the calculation of the compressibility coefficient within 0.1 % in the temperature range from 220 K to 250 K and pressure below 5 MPa.

Phosphine Residues

Abstract Phosphine residues were determined in 2 types of rice samples, raw polished and parboiled. The yellow chromophore due to phosphine from raw polished rice had 2 absorption maxima, a strong one at 370- 380 nm and a weaker one at 400-410 nm. The chromophore from parboiled rice also had 2, one at 390-400 nm and the other at 410-420 nm. A closed system containing rice and a phosphine tablet or powder yielded 93-99% recovery of fortified phosphine. At any given dose of phosphine, parboiled rice retained a higher amount of residue after aeration than did raw polished rice.
