    Fugacity and BCF relate to each other in the following equation: = [6] where Z Fish is equal to the Fugacity capacity of a chemical in the fish, P Fish is equal to the density of the fish (mass/length 3), BCF is the partition coefficient between the fish and the water (length 3 /mass) and H is equal to the Henry's law constant (Length 2 /Time 2) [6]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bromochlorodifluoromethane

    Bromochlorodifluoromethane (BCF), also referred to by the code numbers Halon 1211 and Freon 12B1, is a haloalkane with the chemical formula C F 2 Cl Br. It is used for fire suppression, especially for expensive equipment or items that could be damaged by the residue from other types of extinguishers. [ 1 ]

  4. Tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane

    Tris (pentafluorophenyl)borane, sometimes referred to as "BCF", is the chemical compound (C6F5)3B. It is a white, volatile solid. The molecule consists of three pentafluorophenyl groups attached in a "paddle-wheel" manner to a central boron atom; the BC3 core is planar. It has been described as the “ideal Lewis acid ” because of its high ...

    where ℓ is the mean free path, n is the number of target particles per unit volume, and σ is the effective cross-sectional area for collision. The area of the slab is L 2, and its volume is L 2 dx. The typical number of stopping atoms in the slab is the concentration n times the volume, i.e., n L 2 dx. The probability that a beam particle ...

    It has a mean lifetime of 0.12 ns and decays preferentially into two gamma rays with energy of 511 keV each (in the center-of-mass frame). Para-positronium can decay into any even number of photons (2, 4, 6, ...), but the probability quickly decreases with the number: the branching ratio for decay into 4 photons is 1.439(2) × 10 −6.

  9. Biopharmaceutics Classification System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biopharmaceutics...

    The Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS) is a system to differentiate drugs on the basis of their solubility and permeability. [1] This system restricts the prediction using the parameters solubility and intestinal permeability. The solubility classification is based on a United States Pharmacopoeia (USP) aperture.
