Abstract:
The investigation of the photoelectron circular dichroism (PECD) in the strong field regime (800 nm, 6.9 × 1013 W/cm2) on methyloxirane (MOX) reveals a flip of the sign of PECD between different fragmentation channels. This finding is of great importance for future experiments and applications in chemistry or pharmacy using PECD in the strong field regime as analysis method. We suggest that the observed sign change of PECD is not caused by ionization from different orbitals but by effectively selecting differently oriented nonisotropic subsamples of molecules via the fragmentation channel.

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:
