Example: sodium chloride, potassium oxide, or calcium carbonate.
When the metal has more than one possible ionic charge or oxidation number the name
becomes ambiguous. In these cases the oxidation number (the same as the charge) of the metal
ion is represented by a Roman numeral in parentheses immediately following the metal ion name.
For example in uranium(VI) fluoride, the oxidation number of uranium is 6. Another example is the
iron oxides. FeO is iron(II) oxide and Fe2O3 is iron(III) oxide.
An older system used prefixes and suffixes to indicate the oxidation number, according to the
following scheme:
-ous -ite
-ic -ate
Thus the four oxyacids of chlorine are called hypochlorous acid (HOCl), chlorous acid (HOClO),
chloric acid (HOClO2) and perchloric acid (HOClO3), and their respective conjugate bases are the
hypochlorite, chlorite, chlorate and perchlorate ions. This system has partially fallen out of use, but
survives in the common names of many chemical compounds: the modern literature contains few
references to "ferric chloride" (instead calling it "iron(III) chloride"), but names like "potassium
permanganate" (instead of "potassium manganate(VII)") and "sulfuric acid" abound.
Naming simple ionic compounds
An ionic compound is named by its cation followed by its anion. See polyatomic ions for a list of
possible ions.
For cations that take on multiple charges, the charge is written using Roman numerals in
parentheses immediately following the element name. For example, Cu(NO 3)2 is copper(II) nitrate,
because the charge of two nitrate ions (NO3 ) is 2 × = ionic
compound must be zero, the Cu ion has a 2+ charge. This compound is therefore copper(II) nitrate.
In the case of cations with a +4 oxidation state, the only acceptable format for the Roman numeral
4 is IV and not IIII.
The Roman numerals in fact show the oxidation number, but in simple ionic compounds (i.e.,
not metal complexes) this will always equal the ionic charge on the metal.

Naming hydrates
Hydrates are ionic compounds that have absorbed water. They are named as the ionic
compound followed by a numerical prefix and -hydrate. The numerical prefixes used are listed
below (see IUPAC numerical multiplier):
1. mono- 6. hexa-
2. di- 7. hepta-
3. tri- 8. octa-
4. tetra- 9. nona-
5. penta- 10. deca-
5
English in Chemistry 2 Nguyen Tuyet Phuong - Nguyen Dinh Hiep - Tran Thu Phuong
called dihydrogen monoxide. Organic molecules do not follow this rule. In addition, the prefix mono-
is not used with the first element; for example, SO2 is sulfur dioxide, not "monosulfur dioxide".
Sometimes prefixes are shortened when the ending vowel of the prefix "conflicts" with a starting
vowel in the compound. This makes the name easier to pronounce; for example, CO is "carbon
monoxide" (as opposed to "monooxide").
Common exceptions
There are a number of exceptions and special cases that violate the above rules. Sometimes the prefix
is left off of the initial atom: S2O7 is known as sulfur heptoxide, but it should be called disulfur
heptoxide. S2O3 is called sulfur sesquioxide (sesqui- means 1 2).
The main oxide of phosphorus is called phosphorus pentoxide. It should actually be diphosphorus
pentoxide, but everyone knows that there are two phosphorus atoms (P 2O5) needed in order to
balance the oxidation numbers of the five oxygen atoms. However, people have known for years that
the real form of the molecule is P4O10, not P2O5, yet it is not normally called tetraphosphorus
decaoxide.
In writing formulas, ammonia is NH3 even though nitrogen is more electronegative.
Likewise, methane is written as CH4 even though carbon is more electronegative.

THERMOCHEMISTRY
Introduction
Thermochemistry is a branch of chemistry concerned with the heat effects that accompany
chemical reactions. To understand the relationship between heat and chemical and physical
changes, we must start with some basic definitions. We will then explore the concept of heat and
the methods used to measure the transfer of energy across boundaries. Another form of energy
transfer is work, and, in combination with heat, we will define the first law of thermodynamics. At
this point, we will establish the relationship between heats of reaction and changes in internal
energy and enthalpy. We will see that the tabulation of the change of internal energy and change
in enthalpy can be used to calculate, directly or indirectly, energy changes during chemical and
physical changes. Finally, concepts introduced in this chapter will answer a host of practical
questions, such as, why natural gas is a better fuel than coal and why the energy value of fats is
greater than that of carbohydrates and proteins.
Some terminology
Most of the systems we will examine will be small and we will look, particularly, at the transfer of
energy (as heat and work) and matter between the system and its surroundings. The surroundings
are the part of the universe outside the system with which the system interacts. An open system
freely exchanges energy and matter with its surroundings. A closed system can exchange energy,
but not matter, with its surroundings. An isolated system does not interact with its surroundings.
The remainder of this section says more, in a general way, about energy and its relationship to
work. Energy is the capacity to do work. Work is done when a force acts through a distance.
Moving objects do work when they slow down or are stopped. Thus, when one billiard ball strikes
another and sets it in motion, work is done. The energy of moving object is called kinetic energy
eek). We can see the relationship between work and
energy by comparing the units for these two quantities.
The bouncing ball suggests something about the nature of energy and work. First, to lift the ball to
the starting position, we have to apply a force through a distance (to overcome the force of
do work when released and is therefore called potential energy. Potential energy is energy
resulting from condition, position, or composition; it is an energy associated with forces of
attraction or repulsion between objects.
3
English in Chemistry 2 Nguyen Tuyet Phuong - Nguyen Dinh Hiep - Tran Thu Phuong
All the energy originally invested in the ball as potential energy (by raising it to its initial position)
eventually appears as additional kinetic energy of the atoms and molecules that make up the ball,
the surface and the surrounding air. This kinetic energy associated with random molecular motion
is called thermal energy.
In general, thermal energy is proportional to the temperature of a system, as suggested by the
kinetic theory of gases. The more vigorous the motion of the molecules in the system, the hotter
the sample and the greater is its thermal energy. However, the thermal energy of a system also
depends on the number of particles present, so that a small sample at a high temperature (for
example, a cup of coffee at 75 oC) may have less thermal energy than a larger sample at a lower
temperature (for example, a swimming pool at 30 oC). Thus, temperature and thermal energy must
be carefully distinguished. Equally important, we need to distinguish between energy changes
produced by an action of forces through distances work and those involving the trasfer of
thermal energy heat.
Heat
Heat is energy transferred between a system and its surroundings as a result of a temperature
difference. Energy that passes from a warmer body (with a higher temperature) to a colder body
(with a lower temperature) is transferred as heat. At the molecular level, molecules of the warmer
body, through collisions, lose kinetic energy to those of the colder body. Thermal energy is
transferred until the average molecular kinetic energies of the two bodies become
the same, until the temperatures become equal. Heat, like work, describes energy in transit
between a system and its surroundings.
Not only can heat transfer cause a change in temperature but, in some instances, it can also
change a state of matter. For example, when a solid is heated, the molecules, atoms, or ions of the
solid move with greater vigor and eventually break free from their neighbors by overcoming the
attractive forces between them. Energy is required to overcome these attractive forces. During the
process of melting, the temperature remains constant as a thermal energy transfer (heat) is used
to overcome the forces holding the solid together. A process occuring at a constant temperature is
said to be isothermal. Once a solid has melted completely, any further heat flow will raise the
temperature of the resulting liquid.
system contains heat. It does not. The energy content of a system is a quantity called the internal
energy. Heat is simply a forming which quantity of energy may be transferred across a boundary
between a system and its surroundings.
It is reasonable to expect that the quantity of heat, q, required to change the temperature of a
substance depends on

isolated system.
The First Law of Thermodynamics
The absorption or evolution of heat and the performance of work require changes in the energy of
a system and its surroundings. When considering the energy of a system, we use the concept of
internal energy and how heat and work are related to it.
Internal energy, U, is the total energy (both kinetic and potential) in a system, including
translational kinetic energy of molecules, the energy associated with molecular rotations and
vibrations, the energy stored in chemical bonds and intermolecular attractions, and the energy
associated with electrons in atoms. Internal energy also includes energy associated with the
interactions of protons and neutrons in atomic nuclei, although this component is unchanged in
chemical reactions. A system contains only internal energy. A system does not contain energy in
the form of heat or work. Heat and work are the means by which a system exchanges energy with
its surroundings. Heat and work exist only during a change in the system. The relationship between
heat (q), work (w), and changes in internal energy ( U) is dictated by the law of conservation of
energy, expressed in the form known as the first law of thermodynamics.
U= q + w
An isolated system is unable to exchange either heat or work with its surroundings, so that
Uisolated system = 0, and we can say
The energy of an isolated system is constant.
In using the aforementioned equation we must keep these important points in mind.
Any energy entering the system carries a positive sign. Thus, if heat is absorbed by the
system, q > 0. If work is done on the system, w > 0
Any energy leaving the system carries a negative sign. Thus, if heat is given off by the
system, q < 0. If work is done by the system, w < 0
In general, the internal energy of a system changes as a result of energy entering or leaving
the system as heat and/ or work. If, on balance, more energy enters the system than leaves,
U is positive. If more energy leaves than enters, U is negative.
We have noted that the heat of reaction at constant pressure, H, and the heat of reaction at
constant volume, u, are related by the expression
6
English in Chemistry 2 Nguyen Tuyet Phuong - Nguyen Dinh Hiep - Tran Thu Phuong
u= H -P V (a)
The last term in this expression is the energy associated with the change in volume of the system
under a constant external pressure. To assess just how significant pressure-volume work is,
consider the following reaction.
2 CO(g) + O2(g) 2 CO2(g)
If the heat of this reaction is measured under constant-pressure conditions at a constant
temperature of 298 K, we get 566.0 KJ. To evaluate the pressure-volume work, we begin by
writing
P V = P(Vf Vi)
Then we can use the ideal gas equation to write this alternative expression.
P V= RT (nf ni)
Here, nf is the number of moles of gas in the products (2 mol CO 2) and ni is the number of moles of
gas in the reactants ( 2 mol CO + 1 mol O2). Thus,
P V =0.0083145 kJ mol-1K-1 x 298 K x [ 2 ( 2 + 1 ) ]mol = -2.5kJ
The change in internal energy is
u = H -P V
= -566.0 KJ ( -2.5 kJ )
= - 563.5 kJ
This calculation shows that the P V term is quite small compared to H and that u and H are
almost the same. An additional interesting fact here is that the volume of the system decreases as
a consequence of the work done on the system by the surroundings.
In the combustion of sucrose at a fixed temperature, the heat of combustion turns out to be the
same, whether at constant volume (qv) or constant pressure (qp). Only heat is transferred between
the reaction mixture and the surroundings; no pressure volume work is done. This is because the
volume of a system is almost entirely determined by the volume of gas 12 mol O 2 (g) occupies the
same volume as 12 mol CO2 (g). There is no change in volume in the combustion of sucrose: qp= qv.
Thus, the result of the example can be represented as
C12H22O11 (s) + 12O2 (g) 12CO2 (g) + 11H2O (l) H= -5.65 X103kJ (1)
That is, 1 mol C12H22O11 (s) reacts with 12 mol O2 (g) to produce 12 mol CO2 (g), 11 mol H2O (1), and
5.65 x 103 kJ of evolved heat. Strictly speaking, the unit for H should be kilojoules per mole,
products in the equation as written. Thus, reaction (1) involves 1 molC 12H22O11 (s), 12 mol O2 (g), 12
7
English in Chemistry 2 Nguyen Tuyet Phuong - Nguyen Dinh Hiep - Tran Thu Phuong
mol CO2 (g), 11 mol H2O (1), and -5.65 x 103 kJ of enthalpy change per mol reaction. The mol-1 part
of the unit of H is often dropped, but there are times we need to carry it to achieve the proper
cancellation of units.
In summary, in most reactions, the heat of reaction we measure is H. In some reactions, notably
combustion reactions, we measure u (that is, qv). In reaction (1), u = H, but this is not always
the case. Where it is not, a value of H can be obtained from u by the method illustrated in the
discussion of expression (a), but even in those cases, H and u will be nearly equal. In this text, all
heats of reaction are treated as H values unless there is an indication to the contrary.
easier to be given just the total cost per gallon or liter. After all, this determines what he or she
must pay. In thermochemistry, our chief interest is generally in heats of reaction, not pressure-
to have a function of state, enthalpy, H, whose change is exactly equal to something we can
measure: qp.

The conversion of chemical energy of a cell/battery into electrical energy is known as the process
of discharge. All batteries have characteristics that lead to a slow loss of charge over time (known
as battery self-discharge). Additionally, some battery components can deteriorate over time (such
as occurs with the corrosion of zinc in zinc-carbon batteries) or volatilize (such as occurs with the
loss of water through evaporation). As any of the reactions are characterized by a reaction rate,
then the rate constant for the reaction can exhibit a temperature dependence. If the reaction
mechanism involves a single rate-determining step, then the rate constant for that elementary
step will behave according to the Arrhenius law. This law gives a quantitative expression to relate
the increase in a reaction rate with higher temperature. In general, the higher the storage
temperature, the worse the capacity retention. Thus, for some batteries, self-discharge and
deterioration reactions can be slowed considerably by storing the battery at low temperature
when not in use. Nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries have a self-discharge rate of only 0.8 %/day
at 20 °C but a self-discharge rate of 6 %/day at 45 °C. The shelf-life of primary (nonrechargeable)
batteries such as the zinc-carbon or alkaline-manganese systems can be significantly extended by
storage at lower temperatures.
In 1887 the Swedish chemist Svante Arrhenius suggested that before a chemical reaction could
occur, there must be some minimum kinetic energy possessed jointly by the molecules undergoing
collision. If (two) molecules collide with less than this critical amount of energy, they will recoil
without undergoing chemical change. If this added potential energy were greater than some
critical amount known as the "activation energy (Ea)", then reactants proceed to products. Initially,
Arrhenius empirically derived the temperature dependence of rate constants.
3
English in Chemistry 2 Nguyen Tuyet Phuong - Nguyen Dinh Hiep - Tran Thu Phuong
His relationship of the rate constant k with temperature T in Kelvin involved a constant A known as
the pre-exponential factor and the activation energy Ea:
k = Ae -Ea/RT Ink = lnA - Ea/RT.
2. Which law will the rate constant for the elementary step behave according to if the
reaction mechanism involves a single rate-determining step?

Lesson 3-2b (reading)
Enzyme Catalysis
Of all the intricate processes that have evolved in living systems, none is more striking or
more essential than enzyme catalysis. Enzymes are biological catalysts. The amazing fact
about enzymes is that not only can they increase the rate of biochemical reactions by
factors ranging from 106 to 1018, but they are also highly specific. An enzyme acts only
on certain molecules, called substrates (that is, reactants), while leaving the rest of the
system unaffected. It has been estimated that an average living cell may contain some
3000 different enzymes, each of them catalyzing a specific reaction in which a substrate
is converted into the appropriate products. Enzyme catalysis is usually homogeneous
because the substrate and enzyme are present in aqueous solution.
An enzyme is typically a large protein molecule that contains one or more active sites
where interactions with substrates take place. These sites are structurally compatible with
specific substrate molecules, in much the same way as a key fits a particular lock. In fact,
the notion of a rigid enzyme structure that binds only to molecules whose shape exactly
matches that of the active site was the basis of an early theory of enzyme catalysis, the
so-called lock-and-key theory developed by the German chemist Emil Fischer in 1894
(Figure 13.28).
Figure 13.28. The lock-and-key model of an enzyme’s specificity for substrate molecules.
Fischer’s hypothesis accounts for the specificity of enzymes, but it contradicts research
evidence that a single enzyme binds to substrates of different sizes and shapes. Chemists
now know that an enzyme molecule (or at least its active site) has a fair amount of
structural flexibility and can modify its shape to accommodate more than one type of
substrate. Figure 13.29 shows a molecular model of an enzyme in action.
Figure 13.29. Left to right: The binding of glucose molecule (red) to hexokinase (an
enzyme in the metabolic pathway). Note how the region at the active site closes around glucose
after binding. Frequently, the geometries of both the substrate and the active site are altered to
fit each other.
The mathematical treatment of enzyme kinetics is quite complex, even when we know
the basic steps involved in the reaction. A simplified scheme is given by the following
elementary steps:
where E, S, and P represent enzyme, substrate, and product, and ES is the enzyme-
substrate intermediate. It is often assumed that the formation of ES and its decomposition
back to enzyme and substrate molecules occur rapidly and that the rate-determining step
is the formation of product.
Figure 13.30. Plot of the rate of product formation versus substrate concentration
in an enzyme-catalyzed reaction.
Initially the rate rises rapidly with increasing substrate concentration. However, above a
certain concentration all the active sites are occupied, and the reaction becomes zero
order in the substrate. In other words, the rate remains the same even though the substrate
concentration increases. At and beyond this point, the rate of formation of product
depends only on how fast the ES intermediate breaks down, not on the number of
substrate molecules present.

At times, we want only to make qualitative statements about a reversible reaction: the direction of
a net change, whether the amount of a substance will have increased or decreased when
equilibrium is reached, and so on. Also, we may not have the data needed for a quantitative
calculation. In these cases, we can use a statement attributed to the French chemist Henri Le
Châtelier (1884). Le Châtelier s principle is hard to state unambiguously, but its essential meaning
is stated here:
As we will see in the examples that follow, it is generally not difficult to predict the outcome of
changing one or more variables in a system at equilibrium.
Suppose we start with certain equilibrium amounts of SO2, O2 and SO3, as suggested by Figure a.
Now let's create a disturbance in the equilibrium mixture by forcing an additional 1.00 mol SO3 into
the 10.0 L flask (Figure b). How will the amounts of the reacting species change to re-establish
equilibrium?
3
English in Chemistry 2 Nguyen Tuyet Phuong Nguyen Dinh Hiep Tran Thu Phuong
Another way to look at the matter is to evaluate the reaction quotient immediately after adding
the SO3.
Adding any quantity of SO3 to a constant-volume equilibrium mixture makes Qc larger than Kc. Anet
change occurs in the direction that reduces [SO3], that is, to the left, or in the reverse direction.
Notice that reaction in the reverse direction increases [SO2] and [O2], further decreasing, the value
of Qc.
There are three ways to change the pressure of a constant-temperature equilibrium mixture.
1. Add or remove a gaseous reactant or product. The effect of these actions on the equilibrium
condition is simply that caused by adding or removing a reaction component, as described
previously.
4
English in Chemistry 2 Nguyen Tuyet Phuong Nguyen Dinh Hiep Tran Thu Phuong
2. Add an inert gas to the constant-volume reaction mixture. This has the effect of increasing the
total pressure, but the partial pressures of the reacting species are all unchanged. An inert gas
added to a constant-volume equilibrium mixture has no effect on the equilibrium condition.
3. Change the pressure by changing the volume of the system. Decreasing the volume of the
system increases the pressure, and increasing the system volume decreases the pressure. Thus, the
effect of this type of pressure change is simply that of a volume change.
Raising the temperature of an equilibrium mixture shifts the equilibrium condition in the direction
of the endothermic reaction. Lowering the temperature causes a shift in the direction of the
exothermic reaction.
Adding a catalyst to a reaction mixture speeds up both the forward and reverse reactions.
Equilibrium is achieved more rapidly, but the equilibrium amounts are unchanged by the catalyst.
We now have two thoughts about a catalyst to reconcile:

The acidic form of the indicator (HIn) retains the hydrogen on each hydroxyl group; the
conjugate base form of the indicator (In-) contains one ionized hydroxyl group ( - O- ) . The
pKa value for the acid ionization is 9.9; thus, Ka = 10-9.9 = 1.3 x 10-10. A discernible color
change is noted when the pH of an aqueous solution of the indicator is in the range of 9.4
to 10.6.
The partial ionization of carbonic acid produces hydronium ion, H +, driving the indicator
equilibrium to the weak acid form. A colorless solution results. As the water in the ink
evaporates, the white residue of sodium carbonate remains.

So you just strained a muscle and the inflammation is unbearable. You wish you have something
ice-cold to dull the pain, but to use an ice pack, you would have had to put it in the freezer hours
ago. (1)
A cold pack can be left at room temperature until the moment you need it, then just snap it as
temperature to near (2) in such a short time? The answer lies in chemistry. Your cold
pack contains water and a (3) compound, usually ammonium nitrate, in different
compartments separated by a barrier. When the barrier is broken, the solid dissolves causing
(4) reaction, one that absorbs heat from its surroundings. To
understand how this works, we need to look at the two driving forces behind chemical processes:
energetics and (5) . These determine whether a change occurs in a system and
how energy flows if it does. In chemistry, energetics deals with the (6) and repulsive
forces between particles at molecular level. This scale is so small that there are more water
molecules in a single glass than there are known stars in the universe. And all these trillions of
molecules are constantly moving, (7) and rotating at different rates. We can think of
temperature as a measurement of the average motion or kinetic energy of all these (8) ,
with an increase in movement meaning an increase in temperature and vice versa.
The flow of (9) in any chemical transformation depends on the relative strength of
attractive force, they move rapidly towards one another, until they get so close, that
(10) forces push them away. If the initial attraction was strong enough, the particles
will keep vibrating back and forth in this way. The stronger the attraction, the faster their
movement, and since heat is essentially (11) , when a substance changes to a state in
which these interactions are stronger, the system heats up. But our cold packs do the opposite
which means that when the solid dissolves in water, the new interactions of solid particles and
water molecules with each other are weaker than the separated interactions that existed before.
This makes both types of particles slow down on average, cooling the whole solution. But why
would a (12) change to a state where
the stronger pre-existing interactions keep the solid from dissolving? This is where entropy comes
in. Entropy basically describes how objects and energy are distributed based on random motion. If

you think of the air in a room, there are many different possible arrangements for the trillions of
particles that compose it. Some of these will have all the (13) molecules in one area, and
all the (14) molecules in another. But far more will have them mixed together, which
is why air is always found in this state. Now if there are strong attractive forces between particles,
the probability of some (15) can change even to the point where the odds
er not (16) is an example. But in the
case of ammonium nitrate, or other substance in your cold pack, the attractive forces are not
strong enough to change the odds, and random motion makes the particles composing the solid
separate by (17) into the water and never returning to their solid state. To put it
simply, your cold pack gets cold because random motion creates more configurations where the
solid and water mix together, and all of these have even (18) particle interaction,
less over all particle movement, and less heat than there was inside the unused pack. So while the
(19) that can result from entropy
also responsible for that comforting cold that soothes your pain.

We are accustomed to the rise and fall of the liquid in a thermometer as temperatures increase
and decrease, respectively. Why do these liquids respond to temperature in this fashion, and what
are the identities of these materials?
The invention of the thermometer is generally credited to Galileo. His instrument, built near the
end of the sixteenth century, relied on the expansion of air with an increase of heat. Traditional
liquid-in-glass thermometers were devised in the 1630s and are standard equipment today in
research settings, medical practice, and meteorological measurement.
Many common thermometers contain a liquid confined within a narrow capillary tube. The liquid
height varies with the surrounding temperature. In actuality, the volume of the liquid is responding
to temperature, and the liquid tries to expand equally in all directions. By confining the liquid in a
tube, the only direction for ready expansion is along the length of the narrow tube. Thus,
expansion in that direction (i.e., liquid height) can be used as a measure of the ambient
temperature. Most liquids expand in volume as their temperature increases, and, because the
extent of expansion is generally constant over a range of temperatures, the amount of expansion
can be quantified and calibrated. In particular, two liquids exhibit a consistent and measurable
expansion at commonly measured temperatures - liquid mercury and ethanol (also known as ethyl
alcohol). Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit (1686-1736), a German physicist and maker of scientific
instruments, is credited for inventing the alcohol thermometer in 1709 and the mercury
thermometer in 1714 (as well as developing the temperature scale that bears his name). These
liquids permit common temperatures to be readily measured, such as the boiling and freezing of
water. Why are these particular measurements possible? Mercury has a higher boiling point than
water, and ethanol has a lower freezing point than water. The silvery color of mercury facilitates
viewing the liquid level in a thermometer, but the colorless appearance of ethanol generally is
modified with a red dye to enhance distinguishing the liquid level.
The useful temperature ranges for mercury and ethanol-filled thermometers depend on the
temperature ranges over which these materials remain as liquids. Mercury exhibits freezing and
boiling points at atmospheric pressure (i.e., normal freezing and boiling points at 1 atm) of -38.9
and 356.6 °C. Thus, a mercury thermometer is advantageous when high-temperature conditions
are likely. Ethanol, with normal freezing and boiling points of - 114.1 and 78.3 °C, respectively, is
3

convenient as a thermometer liquid when temperatures below the freezing point of water are to
be measured. The equation relating the volume change of a material to a change in temperature is
given by:
for Vo at an initial T of 0 °C and where fl is the volume expansion coefficient or the coefficient of
cubical expansion or the coefficient of thermal expansion. The units of are reciprocal
temperature, for is defined as the increase in volume per unit volume per degree celsius rise in
temperature. Mercury has an average value for of 1.8169041 x 10-4 °C-1 over the temperature
range of 0 to 100 °C and 1.81163 x 10-4 °C-1 over the temperature range of 24-299°C. The volume
expansion coefficient for ethanol averages 1.04139 x 10-3 °C-1 over the temperature range of 0-80
°C, a larger value allowing for finer calibrated thermometers. An important point to note is that any
expansion or contraction of the thermometer container itself (usually glass) is generally ignored
when calibrating household thermometers because liquids generally have a substantially larger
coefficient of thermal expansion than do solids. As an example, Corning 790 glass exhibits a cubical
expansion coefficient of 2.4 x 10-6 °C-1. Pyrex glass contains borosilicate glass, a type of glass that is
exceptionally resistant to heat, expanding only about one-third as much as common silicate glass.
As a consequence, Pyrex is often used to make chemical apparatuses, including thermometers.

Of course, metals such as cadmium, are known to be mammalian mutagens, damaging DNA, and
high levels have been linked to prostate, renal and lung cancers. Similarly, the researchers add,
raised concentrations of lead have been associated with stomach, small intestine, large intestine,
ovary, renal, lung, myeloma, and leukaemia.
Other metals, including chromium and zinc have been observed to speed up tumour growth in
animal models. In humans, these metals have been associated with the more rapid progression of
breast, colon, rectum, ovary, lung, pancreas, bladder cancers, and leukaemia. Shah and colleagues
also point out that nickel too is a mutagen and has been linked to lung and nasal cancer as are
antimony and cobalt.
There are several trace metals that are essential to life. Iron and copper, for instance, play a crucial
role in various metabolic processes. However, there is some evidence of the carcinogenicity of iron
and significantly raised plasma levels of copper have also been associated with malignancy. The
link perhaps being that these metals can trigger hydroxyl radical formation with attendant DNA
damage.
The team has used flame AAS and a multivariate principal component analysis to estimate the
comparative distribution of trace metals in the plasma of cancer patients and healthy volunteers.
They analysed aluminium, antimony, cadmium, calcium, cobalt, chromium, copper, iron, lead,
lithium, magnesium, manganese, molybdenum, nickel, potassium, sodium, strontium, and zinc.
They found that in the plasma of cancer patients the mean concentrations of the essential metals
(Ca, Fe, K, Mg, Na, and Zn) were significantly lower in the healthy volunteers. Similarly, the average
concentrations of Cd, Cr, Cu, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb, Sb, and Sr were much higher in the cancer patients.
The analysis revealed several close correlations between specific pairs of metals in the cancer
patients: Fe-Mn, Ca-Mn, Ca-Ni, Ca-Co, Cd-Pb, Co-Ni, Mn-Ni, Mn-Zn, Cr-Li, Ca-Zn and Fe-Ni, whereas
this coupling pattern was very different in the controls.
"The study indicates appreciably different patterns of metal distribution and mutual relationships
in the plasma of cancer patients in comparison with controls," the researchers conclude. Further
studies are now needed to determine how and why such marked changes in trace metal
concentrations are observed in cancer patients. Metabolism in cancer patients is obviously
changed significantly by specific trace metals but whether that is a cause or an effect remains to be
seen.
