A detailed study of precipitation reaction of perchlorate ion with tetraphenylarsonium chloride is reported. Optimum conditions for quantitative precipitation of perchlorate ion were determined. A gravimetric and a spectrophotometric method for perchlorate ion are proposed. The spectrophotometric method is based upon dissolution of ( C.H.),AsClO. in acetonitrile and subsequent measurement of ab...

The present paper deals with the kinetics and mechanism of homogeneously Ir(III) chloride catalyzed oxidation of D-mannitol by chloramine-T [CAT] in perchloric acid medium in the temperature range of 30 to 45 0C. The reaction is carried out in the presence of mercuric acetate as a scavenger for chloride ion. The experimental results show first order kinetics with respect to the oxidant [CAT] an...

echocardiography. All attending phy-sicians/cardiologists were blinded to the BNP results. To determine the diagnostic accuracy of the two assays for CHF, we performed ROC plot analysis, and areas under the curve (AUC) were calculated for both BNP assays. Comparisons between AUC were assessed according to the method of Hanley and McNeil (10). Cutoff values for the two methods were determined at...

Specificity of Reactions-Several alkaloids were tested for their reaction with chloride, bromide, and iodide ions. The test system was as follows: From 0.01 to 0.05 milliequivalent of the halogen compound (sodium salt) was placed in calorimeter cuvettes. Water was added to make a volume of 5 ml. and then 2 ml. of 50 per cent phosphoric acid were added. 1 ml. of a 1 per cent solution of the alka...

Several prokaryotic ClC proteins have been demonstrated to function as exchangers that transport both chloride ions and protons simultaneously in opposite directions. However, the path of the proton through the ClC exchanger, and how the protein brings about the coupled movement of both ions are still unknown. In this work, we use an atomistic molecular dynamics (MD) simulation to demonstrate t...

To determine the chemotransduction characteristics of ventricular sensory neurites associated with nodose ganglion afferent neurons, various chemicals were applied individually to epicardial sensory neurites associated with individual afferent neurons in anesthetized guinea pigs. The following ion channel-modifying agents were tested: barium chloride, cadmium chloride, calcium chloride, the che...

Magnesium dication plays many significant roles in biochemistry. While it is available to the environment from both ocean waters and mineral salts on land, its roles in environmental and atmospheric chemistry are still relatively unknown. Several pieces of experimental evidence suggest that contact ion pairing may not exist at ambient conditions in solutions of magnesium chloride up to saturati...

Diazepam and (--)-pentobarbital each potentiate the increase in chloride ion conductance produced by gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) i voltage-clamped mouse spinal neurons grown in culture. Fluctuation analysis was used to compare the properties of elementary ion-channel events underlying the chloride conductance produced by GABA alone and during potentiation by the two drugs. Neither drug alter...

Tandem hydrodechlorination/Friedel–Crafts alkylation of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) is achieved using silylium ion catalysts to prepare new styrenic copolymers polyethylene.
