Abstract:
The experiments on the exchange reaction rate of the oxygen isotopes in the mineral-water system with initial conditions of 100 °C and 240 MPa, 100 °C and 924 MPa, 118 °C and 170 MPa are taken. The oxygen isotope 18O exchange reactions between aqueous C16O32- and H218O are mainly traced by measuring the Raman peak intensity of oxygen-containing elements (CO32-) in sodium carbonate solution. The inconsistent trends between the molar fraction and the concentration of C18O216O2- indicate oxygen isotope exchange between sodium carbonate and heavy water accompanied by dissolution and recrystallization between supersaturated sodium carbonate solution and solid sodium carbonate. In the heterogeneous experimental systems the order of oxygen isotope exchange reactions are more than 1 and the dynamics of oxygen isotope exchange conform to JMAK kinetics model with the nucleation and growth processes of sodium carbonate crystal.

02:19Physical Properties Affecting Solubility
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...
