X.—The dehydration of copper sulphate pentahydrate

The effect of water vapour pressure on the thermal dehydration of yttrium formate dihydrate

“…This unusual phenomenon is known as the Smith-Topley effect. Similar phenomena have also been observed on the dehydration of other hydrates [3][4][5][6][7].…”

Thermal Dehydration of Crystalline Hydrates: Microscopic Studies and Introductory Experiments to the Kinetics of Solid-State Reactions

“…Large, relatively perfect crystals can be grown by evaporation of a saturated aqueous solution and water of crystallization is lost between ~290-330 K. The product may be the trihydrate or the monohydrate, depending on reaction conditions. Garner and Tanner (19) showed that if outer crystal surfaces were abraded with product, a planar reaction interface was established that thereafter advanced directly into the crystal. Garner and Pike (20) describe the various shapes of nuclei developed on nine crystallographic faces of CuS04*5H20.…”

The chemical synthesis of glycerides

“…although few are prepared commercially, the principal exceptions being $ynourin and Intarvin. Berthelot's classical synthesis (1) was improved by heating under diminished pressure (36), and in 1928 Garner (76) prepared simple triglycerides in almost theoretical yield by heating equivalent quantities of fatty acid and'glycerol for 6 hours at a temperature of 200 ° in an atmosphere of CO,.,. Verkade (77) obtained an 82% yield of tristridecylin by heating glycerol with a slight excess of the acid under reduced pressure and in an atmosphere of carbon dioxide.…”
