The purpose of the study was to form an algorithm for constant control content cadmium and nitrate ions as important component environmental monitoring in Ciscarpathia ecosystem. Materials methods. soils drinking water plain, foothill mountainous areas region were object research. determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry on a C-115 PC spectrophotometer. concentration potentiometrically...

The complexation reactions between diacetyl monooxime (Damo), imidazole (Him), histamine (Hist) and histidine (His) with Co2+, Ni2+ and Cu2+ were studied potentiometrically in aqueous solution at 25 °C and m= 0.5 M KNO3. The overall stability constants log b's of species were obtained by computer refinement of p...

-Acidified suspensions of Al-saturated kaolinite, montmorillonite, mica, illite, and biotite in 10 -a M NaNO3 were potentiometrically titrated with 0.1 N NaOH and 0.1 N HNO3 in succession in a COz-free nitrogen atmosphere. The resulting curves were compared with those for AI(NO3)3 solutions of similar AI concentration in the supernatant solution and corrected for Al in the entrained solution in...

Although the roster of coulometric titrations no\\' includes many reactions of classical titrimetry'. the lIse of cl,ectrogeneratecl +2 tin as a coulometric titrant has not previously been reported. We have found that in an acidic bromide medium +4 tin (probably SrlBr6-2) is reduced to the' +2 state (probably SnBr4-2) with 100% current efficiency' at a gold cathode. The formal potential of the ...

We introduce a new family of complexes with the general formula [Ru(n)(tda)(py)2](m+) (n = 2, m = 0, 1; n = 3, m = 1, 2(+); n = 4, m = 2, 3(2+)), with tda(2-) being [2,2':6',2″-terpyridine]-6,6″-dicarboxylate, including complex [Ru(IV)(OH)(tda-κ-N(3)O)(py)2](+), 4H(+), which we find to be an impressive water oxidation catalyst, formed by hydroxo coordination to 3(2+) under basic conditions. The...

The effect of three different moisture statuses, i.e., 150, 200 and 300% FWC (Field Water Capacity) on copper (Cu), iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn) solubility and solution activity was investigated on soil samples characterised by different levels of copper contamination. Soils (200 g) were weighted into polyethylene containers (500 cm3) and amounts of bidistilled water were properly added to reac...

Digitonin - fractionated photosystem - I subchloroplasts were titrated potentiometrically between -450 and -610 mV at pH 10. Examination of the titrated subchloroplasts by low-temperature (13 degrees K) electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy revealed resonances centered at values of 2.05, 1.94, 1.92, 1.89, and 1.86 on the g-factor scale. The peak heights depended on the potentials at whic...

BACKGROUND The knowledge of background alimentary fluoride intake in preschool children is of utmost importance for introducing optimal and safe caries preventive measures for both individuals and communities. The aim of this study was to assess the daily fluoride intake analyzing duplicate samples of food and beverages. An attempt was made to calculate the daily intake of fluoride from food an...

The metastable conformational states which underlie the hysteresis displayed by Escherichia coli ribosomal RNA in its pH titration in the acid range have been analyzed in terms of acid-stable RNA secondary structures. Sedimentation measurements show that the phenomenon is ktramolecular, so that analysis of the hysteresis loops can, in principle, reveal details of molecular architecture. Hystere...

Iron(II) in buffer medium and in presence of oxalate has been proposed as a new electron transfer reagent or reducing agent for the selective determination of chromium(VI) in presence of several other metal ions such as Mo(VI), U(VI), V(IV) etc. The method consists in taking a chromium(VI) solution [ containing 3-11mg of Cr] into a buffer medium of pH ~ 4.05.2 containing about 0.040.10M potassi...
