A primary kinetic isotope effect (PKIE) may be found when a bond to the isotopically labeled atom is being formed or broken. [3] [4]: 427 Depending on the way a KIE is probed (parallel measurement of rates vs. intermolecular competition vs. intramolecular competition), the observation of a PKIE is indicative of breaking/forming a bond to the isotope at the rate-limiting step, or subsequent ...
The ratio of the theoretical yield and the actual yield results in a percent yield. [8] When more than one reactant participates in a reaction, the yield is usually calculated based on the amount of the limiting reactant, whose amount is less than stoichiometrically equivalent (or just equivalent) to the amounts of all other reactants present ...
The statement that the first step is the slow step actually means that the first step in the reverse direction is slower than the second step in the forward direction, so that almost all NO 3 is consumed by reaction with CO and not with NO. That is, r −1 ≪ r 2, so that r 1 − r 2 ≈ 0.
The process for TLC is similar to paper chromatography but provides faster runs, better separations, and the choice between different stationary phases. [5] Plates can be labelled before or after the chromatography process with a pencil or other implement that will not interfere with the process.
The question of design of experiments is: which experiment is better? The variance of the estimate X 1 of θ 1 is σ 2 if we use the first experiment. But if we use the second experiment, the variance of the estimate given above is σ 2 /8. Thus the second experiment gives us 8 times as much precision for the estimate of a single item, and ...
Based on this theory, it has been shown that the relevant size parameter to the partitioning of polymers in pores is the mean span dimension (mean maximal projection onto a line). [19] Although this issue has not been fully resolved, it is likely that the mean span dimension and the hydrodynamic volume are strongly correlated.
A scientific control is an experiment or observation designed to minimize the effects of variables other than the independent variable (i.e. confounding variables). [1] This increases the reliability of the results, often through a comparison between control measurements and the other measurements. Scientific controls are a part of the ...
In the first step, the alkene acts as a nucleophile and attacks the proton, following Markovnikov's rule. In the second step an H 2 O molecule bonds to the other, more highly substituted carbon. The oxygen atom at this point has three bonds and carries a positive charge (i.e., the molecule is an oxonium ).
