The ABC of Acid-base Chemistry

This book is a collection of abstracts of the world literature in surgery written by the abstract and news editor of the Journal of the International College of Surgeons. The volume is attractive in format and is easy to use. Complete references are listed at the end of each abstracted article, most of which were published in 1949. The papers were chosen on the basis of the unusual, the interes...

Definitions and terminology in blood acid-base chemistry.

1. Should Brfinsted-Lowry's acid-base definitions be adopted or should the term acid-base balance be synonymous with the term electrolyte balance? 2. Are the relevant parameters pH, Pcoz and actual bicarbonate, or is it preferable to have a more direct measure for the accumulation of nonvolatile acid or base than the bicarbonate value, such as, for instance, standard bicarbonate, buffer base, o...

The Relevance of Lewis Acid-base Chemistry to Surface Interactions

This overview paper summarizes the current status of the Lewis acid-base or generalized donor-acceptor concepts and their application to solubility theory and related problems in the fields of surface and colloid chemistry. Simple second-order perturbation theory is then used to evaluate the pros and cons of various empirical treatments or Lewis acid-base strengths currently found in the litera...

On the Acid-Base Chemistry of Permanently Charged Minerals

The acid-base properties of oxides are well described by the surface complexation model, which superposes a thermodynamic description of acid-base reactions at the oxide surface with a double-layer model of the electrostatics at the solid-solution interface. So far, however, this model has not been extended to include the effects of permanent charges such as result, for example, from isomorphic...
