A Study Of The Products Of The Reaction Between Stannous And Arsenate Ions In Silicic Acid Gels, Frank K. Thompson Jan 1936

A Study Of The Products Of The Reaction Between Stannous And Arsenate Ions In Silicic Acid Gels, Frank K. Thompson

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The fact that characteristic crystalline products result upon the diffusion of arsenate ions into silicic acid gel which has been impregnated with stannous ions has been known by the Pacific Chemistry Department for some time. The optimum conditions with regards to heat and hydrogen ion concentration have been determined. The purpose of this investigation was to study the products of the reaction. First to determine whether or not the silicic acid itself combined with the stannous and arsenate. ions in the formation of the crystalline product, and second to determine its chemical composition.


A Study Of Methods Of Determining The Rate Of Acid Hydrolysis Of Wheat Gluten, Angus V. Honrickson Jan 1936

A Study Of Methods Of Determining The Rate Of Acid Hydrolysis Of Wheat Gluten, Angus V. Honrickson

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Because of the nutritious value of sodium glutamate and its meat-like flavor, which is very pleasing to most people, and hence its demand if it were properly promoted, and because of the abundance of protein in accessible form for its manufacture, it is only reasonable to assume that if the optimum conditions of protein hydrolysis were found, the manufacturing could be made a highly successful enterprise. it was the purpose of this research to investigate the methods by which the hydrolysis of wheat glutes can do conveniently followed in order to determine the efficiency of reactions run under specific conditions.


The Determination Of The Deuterium Oxide Content Of Various Samples Of Water, Douglas R. Macintyre Jan 1936

The Determination Of The Deuterium Oxide Content Of Various Samples Of Water, Douglas R. Macintyre

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this investigation was to determine the deuterium oxide content of various samples of water by a precise and sensitive method based upon the compressibility of water. These samples were gathered from as many different locations as were deemed necessary.


Explosive Property Of Aluminum Powder Liquid Oxygen Mixture, David S. Bruce Jan 1936

Explosive Property Of Aluminum Powder Liquid Oxygen Mixture, David S. Bruce

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this investigation was to determine the optimum conditions for explosion of a mixture of aluminum powder and liquid oxygen when fired without the use of a fixed detonator.
