Proton Conductivity: Materials and Applications

In this review the phenomenon of proton conductivity in materials and the elements of proton conduction mechanismsproton transfer, structural reorganization and diffusional motion of extended moietiesare discussed with special emphasis on proton chemistry. This is characterized by a strong proton localization within the valence electron density of electronegative species (e.g., oxygen, nitrogen) and self-localization effects due to solvent interactions which allows for significant proton diffusivities only when assisted by the dynamics of the proton environment in Grotthuss and vehicle type mechanisms. In systems with high proton density, proton/proton interactions lead to proton ordering below first-order phase transition rather than to coherent proton transfers along extended hydrogen-bond chains as is frequently suggested in textbooks of physical chemistry. There is no indication for significant proton tunneling in fast proton conduction phenomena for which almost barrierless proton transfer is suggested to occur. Models of proton conductivity are applied to specific compounds comprising oxides, phosphates, sulfates, and water-containing systems. The importance of proton conductivity is emphasized for biological systems and in devices such as fuel cells, electrochemical sensors, electrochemical reactors, and electrochromic devices.

A teaching-laboratory experiment

This paper begins with a personal view of the consequences of introducing a number of CAL packages, associated with experiment-planning, into the physical chemistry teaching laboratory. That raises questions which lead to a study of some modes of presentation of textbook material which appear unsatisfactory. The first part of the paper concludes with a survey of previous criticisms of the physical chemistry syllabus, and of the largely ineffectual attempts at revision and reconstruction which ensued therefrom. The second part of the paper aims to demonstrate that a straight-forward approach combining elements of operational research with the experience of the CALCHEM Project of the National Development Programme in Computer Assisted Learning has real potential for syllabus reconstruction in the first-year teaching laboratory. A critique of the traditional version of one particular exercise, in terms of both intellectual content and student performance, points to the need to address a list of educational objectives. both global and specific. The case study which follows illustrates how such objectives were deduced from the inadequacies of student understanding of the phenomena in question, and how combining these exercise-specific objectives with the global objectives defines a general scheme, and thence a detailed procedure, for the experiment. Student response to two different ways of presenting this scheme and procedure is described. The oral tutorial mode is more effective than that using a comprehensive typescript. It is observed that student response appears to be adversely affected by the exercise being encountered in the context of traditional recipe-following assignments. It is nevertheless concluded that this reconstruction of a traditional experiment does enhance learning opportunities. Finally the occasional want of rigour in physical chemistry textbooks is juxtaposed to the traditional teaching laboratory approach, described as ritualistic rather than scientific, raising the question whether the connexion between the two might be the failure to formulate either global or exercise-specific learning objectives. It is claimed to have been demonstrated that the methodology here described does provide a feasible strategy for reconstructing the laboratory syllabus so as to render attainable at least the list of global learning objectives enumerated in the paper.

The Donnan equilibrium and osmotic pressure

Gas phase chemical equilibria

This paper is concerned with an aspect of chemical equilibrium in the gas phase which is treated in the most physical chemistry textbooks: the case when the pressure is so high that partial pressures are not a good approximation to fugacities.

The earliest textbooks of physical chemistry in English

Examines several early physical chemistry texts, published in the late 1800s and early 1900s.

Field review of ‘A/S’ level chemistry textbooks

Twenty‐one textbooks of physical chemistry are analysed in this part of the review. One other textbook in this category was received for review, but it had been heavily criticised in several scientific journals; the criticisms were deemed just, and so it seemed better to ignore it. Nine of these textbooks are only about physical chemistry, the others couple it with either inorganic alone, or with both inorganic and organic.

Chemical equilibria in imperfect gases

Two Contrasting Theories of Capillary Action

Two theories regarding the mechanism of the rise of a liquid in a capillary tube appear in current textbooks of physics and physical chemistry. In one theory the rise is attributed to hydrostatic pressure; in the other, the liquid is drawn up the tube by a climbing meniscus. Evidence is presented in favor of the latter theory.

Physical Chemistry

A very useful book by Dr. Moelwyn-Hughes, covering certain parts of the subject, appeared in 1940 (Physical Chemistry : an Introduction, Cambridge University Press). The present work, expanded to cover most of the field generally dealt with in text-books of Physical Chemistry, is presented as an up-to-date and comprehensive text-book for advanced students of chemistry.

Systematic calculation of ionic equilibria

While the treatment of simple ionic equilibria is standard in textbooks of physical chemistry, the calculation of simultaneous ionic equilibria is seldom discussed; this articles examines the methods and several examples of such calculations.

Physical Chemistry of Cells and Tissues

THIS volume, the lineal descendant of the senior atthor's “Physikalische Chemie der Zelle und der Gewebe“, follows rather similar general lines to the earlier work, but has been completely rewritten and thoroughly modernized. There are two sections on selected topics in modern physical chemistry; Hitchcock writes very clearly and competently on diffusion in liquids, reaction kinetics, thermodynamics, electromotive force and membrane potentials, and on some points in the theory of aqueous solutions. Bateman contributes about 120 pages on molecules of medium and large size, discussing fully the inter-molecular forces, solid structures built from such molecules, and the properties of their aqueous solutions. These two sections constitute a very useful supplement to the usual medium-sized text-book of physical chemistry, skilfully introducing the reader to many modern and advanced topics of special value in biological research. From time to time, these chapters illustrate physico-chemical principles by reference to biological problems. While far from complete, this introduction will be of great value to those whose studies in physical chemistry for its own sake have not gone beyond a fairly early university stage.
