The Effect Of Metallic Fluorides On Oleic Acid At Elevated Temperatures, Lorraine W. Dupuis

Bachelors’ Theses

The problem of finding the effect of metallic fluorine compounds on oleic acid at elevated temperatures was presented in connection with the thesis of J.J. Wocasek of Marquette University. Doctor Wocasek had used fluorine compounds as catalysts in a.n attempt to find a sub­stitute for tung oil. He used the fluorides as catalysts in the esterification of glycerol with unsaturated acids.

Alkylaminoalkyl Aryoxyacetates, William Kenneth Easley

Master's Theses

Numerous inInvestigations into the preparation, properties, and effects plant growth substances have been carried out. It has been shown that phenoxyacetic acids, napthoxyacetic acids, esters, anides and salts of phenoxyacetic acids and certain substituted products of these acids are plant growth promoting substances.

It is the purpose ot this work to produce esters of phenoxyacetic and napthoxyacetic acids which contain a secondary amino group and as a result of their ability to form acid salts, such as hydrochlorides, water soluble compounds. These compounds would be readily applicable to plants in sprays.

Solubility Determinations In Anhydrous Ethylenediamine, Joseph Hooker Dusenbury

Honors Theses

Although the preparation of ethylenediamine is reported in the literature as early as 1853, the first isolation of the pure anhydrous compound was performed by A. W. Hoffmann in 1858. He prepared the pure diamine by repeated distillations from metallic sodium, and reported on the great stability of the 111ono-hydrate as a hindrance to obtaining the compound in a pure state, More recently, in 1934, Bailar at the University of Illinois reacted the crude diamine with zinc oxalate to give a salt which is stable at room temperature and may be heated to 200° in vacuo (all temperatures in degrees …

A Study Of The Action Of Potassium Hypobromite And Sodium Hypochlorite On Adipamide, William Marzluff

Honors Theses

The Hoffman reaction of an amide with a hypohalite to give a primary amine in excellent yields is the basis of many syntheses in organic chemistry. This project is concerned with the study of the action of sodium hypobromite and sodium hypochloride on adipamide. Isolation of reaction products, if possible, identification of reaction products, if possible, identification of the products, and determination of the yield of the reaction were desired. It was hope that a diamine, putresecine, would result from this reaction, and therefore the steps in isolation of the products were carried out with this in view.

Dialysis Of Silicic Acid Gels, Arthur C. Glamm

Honors Theses

The primary purpose of this investigation was to prove or disprove the existence of an equilibrium between polysilicic acid molecules and simple silicic acid molecules in a set silicic acid gel. The investigation involved the controlled dialysis of typical gels from their time mixing, through the time of set and into the aging period. Since numerous silica determinations were to be made, it was thought advisable to disregard the time consuming gravimetric method. The secondary purpose of this investigation was therefore, to determine if the colorimetric method for the determination of silica, as devised by Winkler (1) in 1914 and …

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

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

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

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

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 …

Heats Of Solution In Liquid Ammonia, Merwin William Warren

Honors Theses

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.
