The Separation Of The Rare Earths Neodymium And Praseodymium By Precipitation As Chloride, Stanley Milton Kulifay Jan 1947

The Separation Of The Rare Earths Neodymium And Praseodymium By Precipitation As Chloride, Stanley Milton Kulifay

Masters Theses

"The purpose of this thesis is to provide a means of preparing highly purified samples of neodymium and praseodymium compounds when the material to be refined already exists in a state of approximate purity. The method described cannot be profitably used to purify the individual rare earths without first concentrating them. The process is not intended to be quantitative, for it is a fractional crystallization technique using a concentrated hydrochloric acid medium"--Introduction, page 1.

An Investigation Of The Colorimetric Methods For The Determination Of Fluorine By The Zirconium Alizarin Sulfonate Method, William Lewis Break Jan 1947

An Investigation Of The Colorimetric Methods For The Determination Of Fluorine By The Zirconium Alizarin Sulfonate Method, William Lewis Break

Masters Theses

"There has been a need for a rapid and an accurate method for the determination of fluorine in its compounds. Both gravimetric and volumetric methods have been studied, but both methods were time consuming or inaccurate or both. Colorimetric methods had been studied before F. Richter developed his method but none had been reported to be as satisfactory as his method. This method was investigated because it was thought that F. Richter's method would be a satisfactory colorimetric determination for fluorine in its compounds"--Introduction, page 1.

Studies In The Determination Of Iodine In Soils Organic Materials, And Waters, Russell T. Lundell Aug 1946

Studies In The Determination Of Iodine In Soils Organic Materials, And Waters, Russell T. Lundell

Theses and Dissertations

A summary of the literature on the nutritional value of iodine in the diet of various forms of life is given. The majority of evidence indicates that iodine is an essential element in plant and animal nutrition. It functions particularly in animal metabolism in the form of thyroxine. The occurrence of iodine in a nature has been briefly discussed. Investigations made in this regard indicate iodine to be almost universally distributed in very minute amounts. Most iodine salts are soluble in water and their distribution is affected by water movements. Results of iodine determinations made during the course of this …

The Effect Of Sodium And Potassium Ions On The Time Of Set Of Silicic Acid Gels, Orin Chester Hansen Jun 1946

The Effect Of Sodium And Potassium Ions On The Time Of Set Of Silicic Acid Gels, Orin Chester Hansen

Honors Theses

This paper will deal with the relative effect of the potassium and sodium ions on the time of set. To determine this effect, gels were prepared using potassium silicate in place of the sodium silicate used in the previous experiments on the effects of electrolytes in this laboratory. The heat of activation for the setting of the potassium silicate gels was determined by the method used by Hurd and Letterton (7) in which the logarithm of the time of set was plotted against the reciprocal absolute temperature, the heat of activation being computed from the slope of the resulting line …

The Effect Of Polyvalent Electrolytes On The Viscosity Of Silicic Acid Gel Mixtures, David John Gimber Jun 1946

The Effect Of Polyvalent Electrolytes On The Viscosity Of Silicic Acid Gel Mixtures, David John Gimber

Honors Theses

Von Weimarn has shown that the degree of supersaturation at the time of formation, and the viscosity of the medium account, qualitatively at least, for the resulting character of the precipitate from a solution, whether it be crystalline of amorphous. When fairly concentrated solutions form precipitates they are usually colloidal in nature and may even be gelatinous, or a jelly may be formed. When a precipitate, thus formed, retains an appreciable quantity of the liquid in which it was dissolved in the form of a semi-rigid mass, it is termed a “gelatinous precipitate”, and if all the liquid is initially …

Degree Of Substitution In Ethylchlorosilanes, Charles Guare Jun 1946

Degree Of Substitution In Ethylchlorosilanes, Charles Guare

Honors Theses

When an organo-magnesium halide is reacted with an excess of trichlorosilane, a mixture of products results according to the equations. If phenyl magnesium bromide is used, a mixture of high boiling products results, the highest boiling point of which is approximately 250° at 14mm. pressure. If ethyl magnesium bromide is used, it may be shown that, making certain assumptions and under the conditions of the experiment, if ethyl magnesium bromide is added to the trichlorosilane, monosubstitution is promoted, whereas if the trichlorosilane is added to the ethyl magnesium bromide, polysubstitution is promoted.

A Study Of Form And Content For A Laboratory Manual To Be Used By Students In General Chemistry Laboratory, Berne P. Broadbent Jan 1946

A Study Of Form And Content For A Laboratory Manual To Be Used By Students In General Chemistry Laboratory, Berne P. Broadbent

Theses and Dissertations

This investigation was carried out for general chemistry classes in which recitation and laboratory work are closely integrated and in which very close supervision is given to laboratory classes. Results indicate that there are fewer failures under these conditions if students do individual work. Students receiving grades of over 80% seem to work just as effectively in pairs as they do when working individually, but about 5% who fail when working in pairs could, apparently obtain grades above 60% if they did individual work. The formal full statement type of report is substantially more effective than the questionaire report as …

The Preparation And Rate Of Hydrolysis Of Glucosides, Thomas William Fair Jun 1945

The Preparation And Rate Of Hydrolysis Of Glucosides, Thomas William Fair

Honors Theses

The term glucoside has been applied to those compounds which have the property of supplying, upon hydrolysis, a sugar and one or more other products. Nearly all organic compounds which occur in plants (fruit, bark, roots) are in combination with a sugar. They all resemble the simple methyl glucosides. In many cases, the glucoside form is more soluble than the substance itself. Naturally occurring glucosides are prepared by extracting from the plant, by means of a solvent such as water or alcohol. Glucosides are synthesized (generally) from the non-saccharide constituent and acetobromoglucose in the presence of AgO or Ag2CO3. The …

The Relation Between Viscosity And Silica Concentration Of Silicic Acid Gels, Jules David Viglielmo Jun 1944

The Relation Between Viscosity And Silica Concentration Of Silicic Acid Gels, Jules David Viglielmo

Honors Theses

In this work we have again been concerned with the silica concentration but have elected to use viscosity measurements as a means of studying the process of gelation rather than the former method used by Hurd and Schaffer. As pointed out by Hurd and Santora, who use the viscometer in studying the effect of added electrolytes the process of gelation may in this way be observed.

Preparation Of Certain Purine Thiocyanate Complexes, Robert Wallace Carter Jun 1944

Preparation Of Certain Purine Thiocyanate Complexes, Robert Wallace Carter

Honors Theses

As the purine group of compounds is known to exert a stimulative effect on the heart, the object of this research was to prepare certain compounds of the purine group for possible use in cardiotherapy. However, a serious rise in blood pressure often accompanies the use of these compounds, it would be desirable to combine them with some compound which would dilate the blood vessels.

Measurement Of Dielectric Constants, Francis Andrew Czech Jun 1944

Measurement Of Dielectric Constants, Francis Andrew Czech

Honors Theses

The increasing importance of a knowledge of dielectric constants of substances is shown by the large number of measurements that have appeared in recent literature- Several methods have been used in making these measurements, but probably the most precise ate the methods based on the heterodyne beat principle. This apparatus is designed to measure substances that are non-conducting. The condition of constant capacitance in the measuring circuit is the principle of the apparatus and is detected by the beat note between a fixed crystal radio frequency oscillator and oscillations generated by a variable oscillator. Otto and Wenzke (6) have used …

Synthesis Of Complexes Of Potassium Thiocyanate With Thiourea And Biurnet, Barclay Belding Fishburn Jun 1944

Synthesis Of Complexes Of Potassium Thiocyanate With Thiourea And Biurnet, Barclay Belding Fishburn

Honors Theses

The main objective of the work was an attempt to prepare certain compounds of the purine group for possible use in cardio-therapy, since the purine group is known to exert a stimulating action on the heart. However, under certain conditions these compounds cause a serious rise in blood pressure. It was thought that perhaps some compound which would produce dilation of the blood vessels could be combined with the purine group, to give a compound which would have the stimulative property, and in which the rise in blood pressure would be absent or at least minimized. Since such a type …

A Preliminary Polarographic Investigation Of Hydrogen Bonding - The Ortho- And Para- Hydroxy Benzaldehydes, Edwin Gerald Newstead Jun 1944

A Preliminary Polarographic Investigation Of Hydrogen Bonding - The Ortho- And Para- Hydroxy Benzaldehydes, Edwin Gerald Newstead

Honors Theses

The polagraphic method should be able to determine the presence of hydrogen bonds in ortho-hydroxy benzaldehyde in carefully buffered water solutions. The wave-height for the reduction of ortho-hydroxy benzaldehyde in acid solution is about one-half the height in basic solution. This would seem to indicate that the intermediate reduction product is formed by the reduction of ortho-hydroxy benzaldehyde in acid medium. This intermediate is stabilized by the presence of a hydrogen bond, so that further reduction to the hydroxy benzyl alcohol is not possible at the dropping mercury electrode.
