Indicators for Acids and Bases

June 22, 2012
Author(s)
Thomas J. Bruno, Paris D. Svoronos
The following table lists the most common indicators together with their pH range and colors in acidic and basic media. Since the color change is not instantaneous at the pKa value, a pH range is given where a combination of colors is present. This pH

The following table lists the magnetic properties at higher field strengths required for choosing the nuclei to be used in NMR experiments [1-15]. The reader is referred to several excellent texts and the literature for guidelines in nucleus selection. For

Proton NMR Absorption of Major Chemical Families

June 22, 2012
Author(s)
Thomas J. Bruno, Paris D. Svoronos
The following table gives the region of the expected nuclear magnetic resonance absorptions of hydrocarbon families. These absorptions are reported in the dimensionless units of parts per million (ppm) versus the standard compound tetramethylsilane (TMS

Solid-Phase Microextraction Sorbents

June 22, 2012
Author(s)
Thomas J. Bruno, Paris D. Svoronos
While trapping sorbents have been used for many years in headspace analysis (most commonly with gas chromatography), the modern techniques of solid phase microanalysis (SPME) are particularly applicable to survey analyses [1]. In the following tables, we

Standards for Laboratory Weights

June 22, 2012
Author(s)
Thomas J. Bruno, Paris D. Svoronos
The following table provides a summary of the requirements for metric weights and mass standards commonly used in chemical analysis1-3. The actual specifications are under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee E-41 on General Laboratory Apparatus and are the

TESTING LONG-WAVELENGTH ACOUSTIC FLOWMETER CONCEPTS FOR FLUE GAS FLOWS

June 22, 2012
Author(s)
Lee J. Gorny, Keith A. Gillis, Michael R. Moldover
As a part of NIST’s program to standardize measurements of greenhouse gas emissions, we are developing a long-wavelength acoustic flowmeter (LWAF) for accurate, economical measurements of exhaust flows from coal-burning power plants. Measurements of the

Wavelength-Wavenumber Conversion Table

June 22, 2012
Author(s)
Thomas J. Bruno, Paris D. Svoronos
The following table provides a conversion between wavelength and wavenumber units, for use in infrared spectrophotometry [1]. Since spectra are presented in different formats, this table is an aid in interpretation.

How nanorough is rough enough?

June 21, 2012
Author(s)
Konrad Rykaczewski, William A. Osborn, Jeff Chinn, Marlon L. Walker, John H. Scott, Wanda Jones, Chonglei Hao, Shuhuai Yao, Zuankai Wang
Surfaces which evince superhydrophobic properties during water condensation have a potential to dramatically enhance energy efficiency in power generation and desalination systems. Although various such surfaces have been reported, their development has

Hydrodynamic chromatography

June 21, 2012
Author(s)
Andre M. Striegel, Amandaa Brewer
Hydrodynamic chromatography (HDC) has experienced a resurgence in recent years for particle and polymer characterization due, principally, to its coupling to a multiplicity of physical detection methods. Coupled to light scattering (both multi-angle static

Optimal Diffusion Coefficient Estimation in Single-Particle Tracking

June 21, 2012
Author(s)
Xavier Michalet, Andrew J. Berglund
Recent results provide new theoretical concepts and practical algorithms for diffusion coefficient estimation in single-particle tracking. We compare two recent approaches to estimate the diffusion coefficient from a single-particle trajectory in the
