The aqueous sulfite ion reacts with Hg2+(aq) to form 1:1 and 2:1 coordination complexes. Hg(SO3)22- complex is redox stable. However, dissociation of a ligand forms redox-unstable HgSO3. Under conditions where predominates, the rate reduction mercuric Hg0 by coordinated depends inversely on concentration uncoordinated sulfite, while it unaffected amount liberated dissociation. Analysis kinetics yields sequential binding constants K1 = 2.1 × 1013 K2 1.0 1010 at μ 0.10 M. These values lead...
Abstract The Upper Cretaceous Prince Creek Formation (PCF) of northern Alaska offers a unique glimpse into high‐latitude, non‐marine vertebrate assemblages, providing critical data on polar ecosystems during the late Campanian ( c . 73 Ma). This study presents comprehensive taxonomic assessment fish fossils from PCF, including macrofossils and microfossils obtained through bulk sampling. assemblage demonstrates lower species richness compared with penecontemporaneous formations in...
The reaction between methanol and sulfuric acid (SA) was investigated using Raman vibrational broad bandwidth sum frequency generation spectroscopies. Evidence for the formation of methyl hydrogen sulfate (MHS) obtained by presence a new peak in 800 cm-1 region, not present either neat or concentrated spectra. This is attributed to singly bonded OSO symmetric stretch MHS. maximum yield MHS with large SA excess (7 SA/1 methanol) shown be (95 ± 5)% at −(15 2) °C. No evidence found suggest...
XANES and Zatka speciation methods were compared for application in epidemiology of occupational aerosols from sulphidic nickel production.
The organization of 1-butanol and 1-hexanol at the air-liquid interface aqueous, aqueous ammonium bisulfate, sulfuric acid solutions was investigated using vibrational broad bandwidth sum frequency generation spectroscopy. There is spectroscopic evidence supporting formation centrosymmetric structures surface pure butanol hexanol. At most solution surfaces, molecules organize in all-trans conformations. This suggests that self-aggregates. spectrum for 0.052 M 59.5 wt % different from other...
The uptake of methanol at the air-liquid interface 0-96.5 wt % sulfuric acid (H2SO4) solutions has been observed directly using vibrational sum frequency generation (VSFG) spectroscopy. As concentration H2SO4 increases, VSFG spectra reveal a surface reaction between and to form methyl hydrogen sulfate. is saturated with species after 15 min. into by Raman spectroscopy was also occurred on much longer time scale. This suggests that diffusion-limited.
The diffusion of methanol into 0-96.5 wt % sulfuric acid solutions was followed using Raman spectroscopy. Because reacts to form protonated (CH 3OH 2 (+)) and methyl hydrogen sulfate in H 2SO 4 solutions, the reported coefficients, D, are effective coefficients that include all species diffusing 4. method first verified by measuring D for water. value obtained here, = (1.4 +/- 0.6) x 10 (-5) cm (2)/s, agrees well with values found literature. 39.2-96.5 range from (0.11-0.3) maximum occurring...
XAFS spectroscopy has been used to determine the Ni species in particulate matter collected on quartz thimble filters stacks of eight residual (No. 6 fuel) oil-burning electric utility steam-generating units. Proper speciation nickel emitted is necessary correctly anticipate potential health risks. Analysis spectroscopic data using least-squares linear combination methods and a newly developed method specific for small quantities sulfide compounds such emissions show that potentially...
Peakaboo is a platform for the analysis of full spectrum synchrotron X-ray fluorescence (XRF) map data. It offers robust, automated fitting XRF spectral peaks, increasing sensitivity to trace chemical elements. Large arrays data can also be processed into element maps define spatial relationships. The modifications introduced since 2017 are particularly designed help new users become rapidly competent in handling complex spectra. Some most important innovations software described below....
