Reformulation of Activated Complex Theory

Authors: Sosale Chandrasekhar
Comments: 15 Pages.

The key assumption of activated complex theory (ACT), that the AC is in thermodynamic equilibrium with the reactants, needs to be reconsidered. This is because the formation of the AC is slower than its collapse to product. However, this can be remedied by assuming that the AC is formed in a rapid pre-equilibrium as a thermally activated species, which collapses to products in a slow step involving the diffusion of another AC molecule (or solvent in the case of a unimolecular reaction). This implies a violation of the principle of microscopic reversibility (PMR), as also the relation between standard free energy change and equilibrium constant (ΔGo = -RTlnK). However, it may be argued that not only do these not apply to processes performed irreversibly, but also that irreversibility requires the breakdown of the PMR. Accordingly, catalysts may alter equilibrium constants, and enzymes may regulate biochemical processes in hitherto unsuspected ways.

New Lewis Structures Through the Application of the Hypertorus Electron Model

Authors: Omar Yépez
Comments: 12 pages

The hypertorus electron model is applied to the chemical bond. As a consequence, the bond topology can be determined. A linear correlation is found between the normalized bond area and the bond energy. The normalization number is a whole number. This number is interpreted as the Lewis's electron pair. A new electron distribution in the molecule follows. This discovery prompts to review the chemical bond, as it is understood in chemistry and physics.

On the Limit for the Periodic Table of the Elements

Authors: Chun-Xuan Jiang
Comments: 7 Pages.

It has been proved that the 5g = 18 is unstable, the heaviest element that occurs naturally is uranium with an atomic number of 92 and the island of stability does not exist using the modified Pauli principle. This is the Book proof.

Methods in Industrial Biotechnology for Chemical Engineers

Authors: W. B. Vasantha Kandasamy, Florentin Smarandache
Comments: 126 pages

Industrial Biotechnology is an interdisciplinary topic to which tools of modern biotechnology are applied for finding proper proportion of raw mix of chemicals, determination of set points, finding the flow rates etc., This study is significant as it results in better economy, quality product and control of pollution. The authors in this book have given only methods of industrial biotechnology mainly to help researchers, students and chemical engineers. Since biotechnology concerns practical and diverse applications including production of new drugs, clearing up pollution etc. we have in this book given methods to control pollution in chemical industries as it has become a great health threat in India. In some cases, the damage due to environmental pollution outweighs the benefits of the product.

Observation of Anomalous Potential Electric Energy in Distilled Water Under Solar Heating

Authors: Florentin Smarandache, V. Christianto
Comments: 9 pages

In this paper, we describe a very simple experiment with distilled water which could exhibit anomalous potential electrical energy with very minimum preparation energy. While this observed excess energy here is less impressive than [1][2] and the material used is also far less exotic than common LENR-CANR experiments, from the viewpoint of minimum preparation requirement - and therefore less barrier for rapid implementation--, it seems that further experiments could be recommended in order to verify and also to explore various implications of this new proposition.

The Arata Demonstration: a Review Summary

Authors: Talbot Chubb
Comments: 4 pages

On May 22, a special announcement/presentation was held at Osaka University by Prof. Yoshiaki Arata in the presence of colleagues, guests, and press. The announcement of new results took place in Arata Hall, a campus building named for Prof. Arata, and a demonstration took place in the Arata-Zhang laboratory room in a nearby research building. A research paper describing recent results was made available in Japanese and English versions.
