Thermodynamics Of I) Metal Cyanide Coordination, Ii) Water Formation, And Iii) Metal Halide Coordination, John Dewey Hale

Theses and Dissertations

ΔH values for the formation of Ni(CN)4(aq)= have been determined calorimetrically at 25° using a simple calorimeter and a thermometric titration procedure at high and low ionic strengths, respectively. Extrapolation of these ΔH values to infinite dilution resulted in a ΔH° value of -42.7 kcal./mole. Combination of ΔH° and ΔF° values gives a ΔS° value of -5.5 e.u. for Ni(CN)4(aq)= formation. A value of +70 e.u. is calculated for the ionic entropy of Ni(CN)4(aq)=. A preliminary investigation of the Zn(CN)4(aq)= system indicated the existence of zinc cyanide complexes other than Zn(CN)4= and allowed calculation of an approximate ΔH° value of …

The Production Of Activated Carbon From North Dakota Lignite, Robert C. Thelen

Theses and Dissertations

The feasibility of producing activated carbon from lignite using a fluid bed reactor was investigated. Steam was used as the activating agent and was- reacted with carbonized lignite at elevated temperatures. The reaction was performed in a fluidized bed type reactor 1 l/2" in diameter and 24" in length.

Tests indicate that activated carbon with adsorptive properties equal to or better than commercial Darco activated carbon can be produced from lignite in a fluidized reactor. This conclusion was based on the results from heat of wetting and service time tests which were applied to both Darco activated carbon and the …

A Study Of The Vibration Characteristics Of A Thin Shell Hyperbolic Paraboloid, Farrin W. West

Theses and Dissertations

Recent progress in structural engineering has been marked by the increased use of thin shells as load carrying members. In particular, shells of revolution have been widely utilized in the missile industry whereas shells of arbitrary shape have been incorporated in the architectural design of today's modern buildings. Missile applications have been extensively studied both statically and dynamically. However, architechural applications have generally been limited to the statics problem with little consideration being given to the dynamic behavior of these unique structures.

Molecular Addition Compounds :|Bi. Systems Of P-Dioxane With Alkyl Halides, Anisole, And Silicon Tetrachloride ; Ii. Titanium Tetrachloride Chargetransfer Complexes Of Benzene, P-Xylene, And Pseudocumene, Nolan F. Mangelson

Theses and Dissertations

Freezing-point diagrams were detennined tor a number or p-dioxane systems. The system, p-dioxane:carbon tetrachloride, was found to contain a 1:2 complex with a congruent melting point of 255.71 °K. This confirmed work reported in the literature. Solid solutions in the region between 0.0000 and 0.4796 mole fraction of p-dioxane were found in the present study. The system, p-dioxane:chloroform, was found to contain a 1:2 complex with a congruent melting point of 215.65 °K. It was determined that no other complexes formed in the solid state. This information resolved contradicting reports in the literature. The system, p-dioxane:dichloromethane, was found to contain …

Directive Effects In The Sulfonation Of Toluene ; Synthesis And Attempted Rearrangement Of Some Anilinoketones ; The Kinetics And Mechanism Of The Addition Of Bromine To Cyclohexene In Dichloromethane. Solution, John Joseph Duvall

Theses and Dissertations

The pure sodium salts of the toluenesulfonic acids were prepared by one of two ways. Both methods started with diazotization of the toluidine. In the first method, the diazonium solution was treated with sulfur dioxide and copper powder, and the resulting sulfinic acid was oxidized to the sulfonic acid with potassium permanganate. In the second method, the diazonium solution was treated with cuprous chloride and sulfur dioxide to give the sulfonyl chloride which was hydrolyzed to the sulfonate. Toluene was sulfonated by SO3 (enriched with S-35) in refluxing SO2 solution. The isotope dilution technique was used to determine the isomer …

Latter-Day Prophets And Present-Day Curriculum, Neil J. Flinders

Theses and Dissertations

A gap exists between the religious ideals of human behavior and the common practices of man. Considerable effort has been expended in attempts to discover how to teach men to behave in ways that would be acceptable to society and still satisfy the ideals of the various religions. This problem is one of the major concerns of religious education.

In an effort to solve the above problem among its membership, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has established a program of week-day religious instruction, commonly referred to as the "Seminary program." This organization is currently engaged in an …

The Structural And Stratigraphic Relationships In The Paleozoic Rocks Of Eastern North Dakota, Frederick V. Ballard

Theses and Dissertations

The thickness and areal extent of the commonly defined Paleozoic rock units in eastern North Dakota has been determined by a study of mechanical well logs. Isopachous wops of these units reveal several positive areas which persisted and influenced sedimentation and unit thickness throughout most of the Paleozoic Era. Precambrian topographic highs of either erosional or structural origin produced those influences in early Paleozoic time, whereas later effects resulted from periodic structural rejuvenation of the original highs. The activity of those highs appears to be related to the location of the basin depocenter. The most prominent highs were in Cavalier, …

Pelecypoda From The Lower Fox Hills Formation (Upper Cretaceous) Of Emmons County, North Dakota, Rodney M. Feldmann

Theses and Dissertations

The Fox Hills Formation in Emmons County, North Dakota, consists of 250-350 feet of medium to fine grained sand and sandstone with some shale interbeds. In Emmons County, the four members, Trail City, Timer Lake, Bullhead, and Colgate are not as distinct lithologically as they are in the areas from which they were described; thus, the unit has been subdivided into a lower part consisting of crossbedded sand and sandstone with calcareous, fossiliferous concretions and an upper part consisting of interbeds of buff sand and chocolate shale.

The gradational change from Pierre Shale lithology to the sands of the overlying …
