An Investigation Of Solvent Extraction Techniques In The Determination Of Formation Constants Of Complex Species In Aqueous Silver Chloride Solution, David Martin Bodily Jul 1960

An Investigation Of Solvent Extraction Techniques In The Determination Of Formation Constants Of Complex Species In Aqueous Silver Chloride Solution, David Martin Bodily

Theses and Dissertations

Solvent extraction techniques have been used to determine formation constants for molecular silver chloride and dichloro silver (I) ion in unsaturated aqueous solutions. Nitrobenzene was used to extract the molecular silver chloride from the aqueous silver chloride solution. The total concentration of silver in each phase was determined by radioassay techniques and related by an expression involving the equilibrium constants. The reciprocal of the distribution ratio times the activity of the chloride ion was plotted versus the activity of the chloride ion and portions of the curve were analyzed by the method of least squares to obtain values for the …

The Aquatic Plants Of Central Utah And Their Distribution, Gerald E. Bessey May 1960

The Aquatic Plants Of Central Utah And Their Distribution, Gerald E. Bessey

Theses and Dissertations

It was the purpose of this study to determine what aquatic plants were common to central Utah and to outline the ecological factors that control their distribution. The main emphasis throughout has been upon the more macroscopic aquatic plants. Such algae were included as was warranted by their size,, abundance and importance in the various habitats in which they grew. As this study progressed it became evident that there was a need for a broad survey-type study of the aquatic plants that would include essentially all of the wet lands of the central Utah region. The area of study closely …

An Investigation Of The Formation Constant Of Molecular Silver Chloride Using Ion Exchange Techniques.|Nii.|Pan Investigation Of The Rate Of Precipitation Of Silver Sulfide By Thioacetamide, James W. Pyper May 1960

An Investigation Of The Formation Constant Of Molecular Silver Chloride Using Ion Exchange Techniques.|Nii.|Pan Investigation Of The Rate Of Precipitation Of Silver Sulfide By Thioacetamide, James W. Pyper

Theses and Dissertations

The first part of this work reports on the investigation of the formation constant of molecular silver chloride using ion exchange techniques. In order to determine the formation constant, it was necessary to develop a method of rinsing the sorbed molecular silver chloride from the resin. It was found that desorption with nitrobenzene would remove the sorbed molecular species. However, the formation constant was not calculated since the nitrobenzene used contained hydrogen ion and chloride ion which removed silver ion as well as the molecular species. In the study of the formation of silver sulfide by the reaction between the …

Director's Foreword To “The Mantle Of The Prophet”, Lael J. Woodbury Apr 1960

Director's Foreword To “The Mantle Of The Prophet”, Lael J. Woodbury

BYU Studies

The director of "The Mantle of the Prophet," a poetry drama staged at Brigham Young University in July 1960, discusses the unique aspect of the play. The drama, focusing more on language than character with a simple set, invites the audience to make a personal connection with a critical event in Mormon history—the martyrdom of Joseph and Hyrum Smith.

Reply To Professor Madsen's Critique, Sterling M. Mcmurrin Apr 1960

Reply To Professor Madsen's Critique, Sterling M. Mcmurrin

BYU Studies

Professor McMurrin responds to Truman G. Madsen's critique of his essay on Mormon metaphysics (found in BYU Studies 2:1 (1960):101-105). This is a continuation of the debate between Sterling M. McMurrin and Truman G. Madsen regarding Mormon theology. Here McMurrin defends his statements: that Mormonism contains both realistic and nominalistic tendencies on priesthood, that Mormon value philosophy exhibits platonic character, that Mormonism is tritheistic, and that foreknowledge and free will are not contradictory.

The Political Kingdom Of God As A Cause For Mormon-Gentile Conflict, Klaus Hansen Apr 1960

The Political Kingdom Of God As A Cause For Mormon-Gentile Conflict, Klaus Hansen

BYU Studies

One cause for the problems between Mormons and their Gentile neighbors in the early Church was the political kingdom of God. Early members of the Church of Jesus Christ felt a responsibility to establish a temporal kingdom in preparation for the kingdom Christ would establish at his second coming. Misunderstandings about the nature of the kingdom of God on earth between Church members and those outside the Church contributed to the persecutions and eventual expulsions from Missouri and Illinois as well as to the martyrdom of Joseph Smith. Those outside the Church suspected Church leaders of plotting to overthrow the …

Joseph Smith And The West, Hyrum L. Andrus Apr 1960

Joseph Smith And The West, Hyrum L. Andrus

BYU Studies

As early as 1834, Joseph Smith saw the Church's eventual settlement in the Rocky Mountains. Many contemporary accounts, from members of the Church and others including Governor Ford of Illinois, tell of Joseph's prophecies and plans to move westward. In March 1844, Joseph organized a General Council, or the Council of Fifty, whose immediate responsibility was to plan the Saints' exodus. In the last few months of his life, Joseph was increasingly focused on the journey to the Great Basin. After the martyrdom of Joseph and Hyrum Smith, the General Council, led by Brigham Young, made preparations for the Saints' …

Three Theories Of Religious Language, Truman G. Madsen Apr 1960

Three Theories Of Religious Language, Truman G. Madsen

BYU Studies

Religious philosophy is often concerned with religious language and its meaning. In this article, the sentence "God sent His Son" is analyzed according to three theories of religious meaning: neo-positivism, neo-symbolism, and neo-Thomism. Each analysis focuses on the term God, the content of "sent His Son," and the translatability and verifiability of the expression. Although the three theories differ, their application to this sentence reveals four points of agreement, or theses. The author examines each thesis in turn and shows that each thesis is steeped in complexity and paradox. The author uses this exercise to question the ultimate value …

The Dead Sea Scrolls–Qumran Calmly Revisited, Lewis M. Rogers Apr 1960

The Dead Sea Scrolls–Qumran Calmly Revisited, Lewis M. Rogers

BYU Studies

At the time of their discovery, the Dead Sea scrolls, like any major archeological find, were a cause for controversy. This article briefly discusses the history of the scrolls' discovery and outlines the contents of the Qumran library. Scholars agree that the authors of the scrolls were probably Essenes, a group that saw themselves as the new Israel in the desert, teaching a pure form of Judaism and awaiting the imminent end of the world. A number of parallels exist between the Qumran community and the early Christian church, including their name, organization, ordinances, and teleological language. However, there are …

The Role And Function Of The Seventies In Lds Church History, James N. Baumgarten Jan 1960

The Role And Function Of The Seventies In Lds Church History, James N. Baumgarten

Theses and Dissertations

Joseph Smith organized a group called Seventies in the Mormon Church early in 1835. They are one of three primary groups in the Higher or Melchizedek Priesthood. They were said to be Elders with a special calling to preach the Gospel among the nations of the earth. Their calling was said to be apostolic because they were to assist the Twelve Apostles in preaching the Gospel and administering Church affairs under their direction. They were a general Church Quorum, and not considered a part of stake organization.

The Seventies were established in their calling as missionaries in the time of …

History Of The Southern States Mission, 1831-1861, Lamar C. Berrett Jan 1960

History Of The Southern States Mission, 1831-1861, Lamar C. Berrett

Theses and Dissertations

The "History of the Southern States Mission, 1831-1861," traces the development of a system of proselyting in the southeastern United States, and its effect on the lives of both missionaries and converts who embraced the principles of the restored gospel taught by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

This study includes an examination of twenty-eight personal missionary journals, and consequently gives a valid picture of Latter-day Saint objectives and the sacrifices necessary to achieve them. Their objectives were to carry the message to the world and build up the Kingdom of God.

To reach their goal, the Mormons …

Hebrew Idioms In The Small Plates Of Nephi, E. Craig Bramwell Jan 1960

Hebrew Idioms In The Small Plates Of Nephi, E. Craig Bramwell

Theses and Dissertations

The problem of this thesis is: To determine whether there are Hebraic idioms in the Small Plates of Nephi in the Book of Mormon that have been retained in translation. An idiom is defined as any peculiar genius of the language: grammatical, syntactical, or verbal imagery. Non-Hebraic idioms were not considered.
The assumptions underlying the problem are:
1. The Book of Mormon is a record of the Nephites whose cultural, social, and lingual milieu originated in Israel.
2. The Book of Mormon was originally written according to a Hebrew pattern of thought and communication.
3. Joseph Smith, as a young …

Pioneer Bands And Orchestras Of Salt Lake City, Martha Tingey Cook Jan 1960

Pioneer Bands And Orchestras Of Salt Lake City, Martha Tingey Cook

Theses and Dissertations

Early Mormon leaders realized the value of music as an important element in spiritual and recreational activities. Consequently, they encouraged and sponsored musical groups.

Three pioneer bands of Salt Lake City—the Nauvoo Brass Band, Nauvoo Legion Martial Band, and Quadrille Band—had originated during the early 1840's in Nauvoo, Illinois, under the sponsorship of Joseph Smith. They performed at all important civic and social occasions.
