Laser-threshold calculations for lasing of acidbase species in proton-transfer media
Abstract:
An estimate of laser thresholds for both the acid and the base species of dyes undergoing proton-transfer reactions is given. It is seen how the excited-state kinetic constants and proton concentration affect the laser threshold of each species. Calculations of laser threshold for simultaneous lasing of both species are also carried out. The latter is applied to the simultaneous lasing of neutral and acid forms of the 4-Amino-1,7-dimethylpyrido[2,3-c]-1,2,6-thiadiazine 2,2-dioxide in acetonitrile and corroborates the experimental results.

Titration Calculations: Weak Acid - Strong Base
For the titration of 25.00 mL of 0.100 M CH3CO2H with 0.100 M NaOH, the reaction can be represented as:
Titration of a Weak Base with a Strong Acid
Using the ICE table and substituting the Kb value, we calculate the initial pH of 50 mL of 0.1 M ammonia to be 11.11. Addition of 25 mL of 0.1 M hydrochloric acid to this solution of ammonia results in a buffer with an equal concentration of ammonia and ammonium ions. The pH of this buffer can be calculated by substituting these...
Ladder Diagrams: Acid–Base Equilibria
A ladder diagram for acid-base equilibria consists of a vertical axis that represents pH and horizontal bars (steps on the ladder) that help position all the pKa values in the system. At equilibrium, the pH value of the system corresponds to one of...
Titration Calculations: Strong Acid - Strong Base
A titration is carried out for 25.00 mL of 0.100 M HCl (strong acid) with 0.100 M of a strong base NaOH. The pH at different volumes of added base solution can be calculated as follows:
(a) Titrant volume = 0 mL. The solution pH is due to the acid ionization of HCl. Because this is a strong acid, the ionization is complete and the hydronium ion molarity is 0.100 M. The pH of the solution is then:
