Corrosion results in hazardous and expensive damage to pipelines, vehicles, water and wastewater systems, and even home appliances. One of the most extensively practical methods for protecting metals and alloys against corrosion is to use organic inhibitors. The inhibition capability of 2-Mercaptobenzothiazole (2-MBT) against the corrosion of carbon steel in a 2 M NaCl solution was examined by ...

the charge-transfer complexation reaction between iodine and dibenzo- 18-crown- 6 (db18c6) has been studied spectrophotometrically in chloroform solution at different temperatures. the resulting donor-acceptor complex was formulated as (db 18c6…i )i . the spectrophotometric results , as well as the conductivity measurements, indicated that the gradual release of tiiodide ion from its contact io...

abstract   background: the survival curves generally have been used for analysis of cell survival under stress conditions. they depict the relationship between the fraction of cells retaining their reproductive integrity and the absorbed dose. the median lethal dose, lethal concentration, 50% (lc 50 ) of a  toxin ,  radiation , or  pathogen  is the  dose required to kill half the members of a t...

The elucidation of entropic contribution to enzyme catalysis has been debated over decades. The recent experimentally measured activation enthalpy and entropy, for chorismate rearrangement reaction in PchB brings up a hotly debated issue whether the chorismate mutase catalyzed reaction is entropy-driven reaction. Extensive configurational sampling combined with quantum mechanics/molecular mecha...
