Abstract:
The influence of temperature change on the determined concentrations of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in water was investigated by laser induced fluorescence (LIF) technique in laboratory. The temperature was altered within the range of 20 to 75 degrees C, and the intensity of DOM fluorescence and water Raman scattering were found to decrease with rising temperature. A linear fit of the normalized fluorescence intensity versus temperature yielded a mean value of the temperature coefficient of -5.24 x 10(-4) x degrees C(-1), and a mean value of the temperature coefficient of -3.42 x 10(-3)(mg x L(-1)) x degrees C(-1) was obtained according to the relationship between normalized fluorescence intensity and concentration of DOM. The temperature change will cause relative changes of up to 8.45% in DOM concentration within the range of 20 to 75 degrees C if we assume that the normalized fluorescence intensity remains the same.

Atoms, molecules, or ions must collide before they can react with each other. Atoms must be close together to form chemical bonds. This premise is the basis for a theory that explains many observations regarding chemical kinetics, including factors affecting reaction rates.
The collision theory is based on the postulates that (i) the reaction rate is proportional to the rate of reactant collisions, (ii) the reacting species collide in an orientation allowing contact between...

As for any solution, the solubility of a gas in a liquid is affected by the attractive intermolecular forces between solute and solvent species. Unlike solid and liquid solutes, however, there is no solute-solute intermolecular attraction to overcome when a gaseous solute dissolves in a liquid solvent since the atoms or molecules comprising a gas are far separated and experience negligible interactions. Consequently, solute-solvent interactions are the sole...
