A Kinetic Investigation Of The Reaction Of Ethylenedinitrilotetraacetic Acid (Edta) And Cerium (Iv) In Acid Solution, Sahmia K. Al-Hashimi Jan 1968

A Kinetic Investigation Of The Reaction Of Ethylenedinitrilotetraacetic Acid (Edta) And Cerium (Iv) In Acid Solution, Sahmia K. Al-Hashimi

Masters Theses

"The reaction between Ce(IV) salt solutions and EDTA solution was followed titrimetrically and spectrophotometrically and found to occur in stages. Four equivalents of Ce(IV) are reduced per mole of EDTA almost instantaneously at room temperature or even lower. With increasing temperature and reaction time an ultimate of about 14 equivalents of Ce(IV) is consumer per mole of EDTA. Formaldehyde, carbon dioxide, and other unidentified compounds are the products of oxidation of EDTA with Ce(IV). The kinetics of the reaction in aqueous sulfuric acid (0.09 - 2.95 M̲) was studied over the temperature range 11.7-40⁰ by a spectrophotometric technique. In the …


Surface Interactions Between Nickel Ions And Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate, Ralph Edward Coleman Jan 1968

Surface Interactions Between Nickel Ions And Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate, Ralph Edward Coleman

Masters Theses

"In this research the interaction of nickel ions with the surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate at the liquid-air interface was studied. Surface tension measurements were performed on pure sodium dodecyl sulfate solutions, with and without the addition of nickel ions. Results of these measurements showed that the addition of nickel ions lowered the equilibrium surface tension values of pure sodium dodecyl sulfate solutions and shifted the critical micelle concentration to lower concentrations. The foam fractionation technique was used to determine if the nickel ions could be removed from surfactant solutions. It was found that the removal of nickel ions was influenced …


Endogenous Metabolism Of Polyporus Sulfureus. : Utilization Of Exogenous Carbohydrates And Fatty Acids, Shu-Mei Wang Jan 1968

Endogenous Metabolism Of Polyporus Sulfureus. : Utilization Of Exogenous Carbohydrates And Fatty Acids, Shu-Mei Wang

Masters Theses

"A strain of Polyporus sulfureus from the collection at the University of Missouri at Rolla was used in this investigation. Organisms of this genus have been reported to produce eburicoic acid in good yield and this was confirmed for the organism used in this study by the isolation and identification of eburicoic acid from the mycelium. Growth studies of this organism showed that 4% malt extract is a better medium than synthetic media containing asparagine, nitrate or nitrate plus 0.5% yeast extract as nitrogen sources. An examination of the pH of the culture medium led to the conclusion that regardless …


A Study Of Solvent Effects On The Reaction Between P-Nitrobenzyl Chloride And Hydroxide Ion In Aqueous Dioxane Homogeneous Media, Ken K. Ho Jan 1968

A Study Of Solvent Effects On The Reaction Between P-Nitrobenzyl Chloride And Hydroxide Ion In Aqueous Dioxane Homogeneous Media, Ken K. Ho

Masters Theses

"The kinetics and activation parameters of the reaction between p̲, p̲' - dinitrostilbene quantitatively, have been studied in five aqueous dioxane solvent systems at five different temperatures between 20⁰ and 40⁰C. At any one temperature the second-order rate constants are minimum in the 30% dioxane solvent mixture, reach a maximum in the 50% dioxane systems, and fall off slightly in the 60% and 70% dioxane systems. The Arrhenius activation energies are highest in the 30% dioxane and lowest in the 70% dioxane systems. The free energies of activation change in the same direction but the magnitude of change is much …


Geochemical Abundance Of Iodine, Jane Hanisch Bennett Jan 1968

Geochemical Abundance Of Iodine, Jane Hanisch Bennett

Masters Theses

"The research reported herein includes unpublished iodine and uranium data on a group of United States Geological Survey standards and on a group of ultrabasic rocks. Data are also included for the major rock types, deep sea sediments, and for graphite and troilite inclusions in iron meteorites. Tellurium data for the troilite are also reported. Appendix I is a literature article (Bennett and Manuel, 1967a) on Canyon Diablo Graphite. Appendix II is a literature article (Bennett and Manuel, 1967b) on deep sea sediments. The results of this study show that most of the earlier estimates of the crustal abundance of …


The Effect Of Impurities On The Time Dependence Of The Surface Tension Of Aqueous Surfactant Systems, Elizabeth Ann Munson Jan 1968

The Effect Of Impurities On The Time Dependence Of The Surface Tension Of Aqueous Surfactant Systems, Elizabeth Ann Munson

Masters Theses

"In this study surface tension measurements were made on tetradecylpyridinium bromide (TPB) solutions both in water in solutions containing various concentrations of impurities. Three impurities were studied, dodecyl alcohol, decyl alcohol and dodecylpyridinium bromide. Surface tension vs. time plots were constructed and show a definite dependence on the concentration of the impurity added. As the concentration of the impurity increases the equilibrium surface tension decreases. The decrease in the equilibrium surface tension is also dependent upon the concentration of the tetradecylpyridinium bromide. As the concentration of the surfactant (TPB) increases the effect of the impurity is reduced"--Abstract, page i.
