The acid-catalyzed hydrolysis reaction of poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc) in water/acetic acid solution at $35^{circ}C$ was studied at two different solvent compositions. The mole fractions of vinyl acetate (Vac) and vinyl alcohol (VA) during the course of the reaction were determined by NMR, and the equilibrium constant $K_{eq}$ of the reaction was determined using the molar ratio of VAc to VA at the chemical equilibrium. $K_{eq}$ was 0.75 (${\pm}0.01$) when the VAc mole faction at the equilibrium was 0.78 (${\pm}0.01$) and it was 0.69 (${\pm}0.01$) when the VAc mole fraction was 0.57 (${\pm}$0.02). The reaction was found to be a pseudo 1-st order reaction with the rate coefficient at $3.4{\times}10^{-6}/sec$.

$\beta$-ketohexanal as a chelating extractant was synthesized from the reaction of ethyl formate and methyl propyl ketone in the presence of sodium amide, and the equilibrium characteristics in the extraction of copper by $\beta$-ketohexanal-chloroform were investigated. The equilibrium constants such as the dissociation constant and the partition coefficients of $\beta$-ketohexanal, the stability constant and the partition coefficient of copper chelating complex, and the overall equilibrium constant in the extraction of copper were determined by spectrophotometric measurements, and the mechanism of extraction was proposed. The percent of extracted copper by $\beta$-ketohexanal-chloroform was near 100%, and the selective extraction of copper from Cu-Zn-Cd mixture was possible. Copper was found to be extracted as $CuR_2$ and the equilibrium reaction was expressed as $Cu^{2+}+2{\overline{HR}}{\rightleftarrows}{\overline{CuR{_2}}}+2H^+$.

Eosin yellow is used a dye and colorant but it is harmful toxic substance. In this paper, batch adsorption studies were carried out for equilibrium, kinetics and thermodynamic parameters for eosin yellow adsorption by activated carbon with varying the operating variables like pH, initial concentration, contact time. Equilibrium adsorption data were fitted into Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherms. By estimated Langmuir constant value, $R_L$=0.067-0.083, and Freundlich constant value, $\frac{1}{n}=0.237-0.267$, this process could be employed as effective treatment for removal of eosin yellow. From calculated Temkin constant, value, B=1.868-2.855 J/mol, and Dubinin-Radushkevich constant, value, E=5.345-5.735 kJ/mol, this adsorption process is physical adsorption. From kinetic experiments, the adsorption process were found to confirm to the pseudo second order model with good correlation coefficient($r^2$=0.995-0.998). The mechanism of the adsorption process was determined two step like as boundary and intraparticle diffusion.

The chemical equilibria of Ni(II)-tetraamine (tetraamine = 2,12-dimethyl-3,7,11,17-tetraazabicyclo-11,3,1-heptadeca-1(17),2,11,13,15-pentaene) complex ion in water, acetonitrile, acetone and nitromethane were investigated using spectrophotometric method, respectively. The equilibria between low-spin ($D_{4h}$) and high-spin ($O_h$) structures of Ni-tetraamine complex ion were presented in water, acetonitrile and acetone, but not in nitromethane. The eqilibrium constants, the reaction enthalpies and the reaction entropies were determined from analysis of the temperature dependence of the electronic spectra. The formation of the triplet species ($O_h$) was found to be exothermic. The solvent and electrolyte effects on the equilibrium constants could be explained by the dielectric constants of solvents and the reaction entropies.

$\beta$-Glucosidase enzyme reaction under high hydrostatic pressure was investigated in terms of physical chemistry. A model substrate (p-nitrophenyl-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside(pNPG)) was used, and the pressure effects on the enzymatic hydrolysis (pNPG${\rightarrow}$pNP) at 25 MPa, 50 MPa, 75 MPa, and 100 MPa were analyzed. Two parts of the reaction such as kinetic and equilibrium stages were considered for mathematical modelling, and their physicochemical parameters such as forward and inverse reaction constants, equilibrium constant, volume change by pressure, etc. were mathematically modeled. The product concentration increased with pressure, and the two stages of reaction were observed. Prediction models were derived to numerically compute the product concentrations according to reaction time over kinetic to equilibrium stages under high pressure condition. Conclusively, the $\beta$-Glucosidase enzyme reaction could be activated by pressurization within 100 MPa, and the developed models were very successful in their prediction.

The axial ligations of nitrogenous bases (pyridine, imidazole, 1-methylimidazole and 2,6-lutidine) to Zn(II)-, Cu(II)-, and Ni(II)-tetrakis(o-chlorophenyl)porphyrin(o-ClTPP), and -tetraphenylporphyrin (TPP) were investigated in organic solvents $(CH_2Cl_2,\;C_6H_6,\;CH_3NO_2,\;(CH_3)_2CO,\;CHCl_3,\;DMF\;and\;DMSO)$ and at 0.01M of ionic strength. The equilibrium constants for the ligation reactions of methalloporphyrins were determined using spectrophotometric method at 15∼35${\circ}C$. In case of M(II)-TPP the equilibrium constants K were considerably larger than those of M(II)-(o-Cl)TPP, depending on steric effect of the porphyrin. The linear relationships between logK of the axial ligation and $pK_a$ of nitrogenous base were shown in M(II)-TPP, but not in M(II)-(o-Cl)TPP. The stabilities of MTPP(L) were controlled by the reation enthalpy and entropy, while those of M(o-Cl)TPP almost by the reaction entropy. The coordinating power of solvent to the methalloporphyrin were also studied in $CHCl_3,\;(CH_3)_2CO$, DMF and DMSO. From those results the solvent effects on the equilibrium constants were discussed.

투석을 이용한 투석법과 투석을 이용하지 않은 평형 실험을 통해 슈워트마나이트를 합성하였다. 이 합성실험 동안 일정시간 간격을 두고 합성 용액 시료와 합성괸 침전물 시료를 채취하였으며, 이러한 시료들에 대해 X-선 회절 분석(XRD), 시차열분석(DTA), 원자흡수분광분석(AA), 유도결합 플라즈마 원자방출분광분석(ICP-AES), 이온크로마토그래피(IC)분석 등을 실시하였다. 컴퓨터 프로그램 MINTEQA2를 이용하여 분석된 합성용액의 화학조성으로부터 침전물과 공존하는 용액 내 각 화학조성으로부터 침전물과 공존하는 용액 내 각 화학종의 분포와 활동도를 계산하였다. 연구 결과 투석법을 이용하여 합성을 하면 비평형 상태를 유지하게 되므로 순수한 슈워트마나이트의 용해도를 얻고자 할 때는 투석을 이용하지 않은 합성법을 수행하여야 하는 것이 밝혀졌다. 투석을 이용하지 않은 합성 실험 결과 슈워트마나이트 침전후 72시간이 경과한 후에 평형상태에 도달함이 확인되었다. 평형상태일 때 순수하게 합성된 슈워트마나이트의 용해도 상수 pKs는 $-6.11\pm$1.16의 값을 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 순사한 슈원트마나이트의 분석된 화학조성으로 계산된 화학식은 $Fe_{8}$ /O sub 8/ (OH)$_{4.16}$ ($SO_4$)$_{1.92}$ .$6.74H_2$O, $Fe_{8}$ /O$_{8}$ (OH)$_{4.18}$ ($SO_4$)$_{ 1.91}$.$6.89H_2$O이다.

Ln-macrocyclic([20]DOTA) complexes, [Ln([20]DPTA)(NO_{3})(H_{2}O)](NO_{3})_{2} \cdotxH_{2}O{Ln(III)=Pr, Sm, Gd, Dy}, which had been synthesized from 2, 6-diformyl-p-cresol(DFPC), was placed in methanol for 2 days, and $[Ln([20]DPTA)(NO_{3})(CH_{3}OH)]^{2+}$ was formed. The equilibrium constants(L) for the substitution of coordinated $CH_{3}OH$ in the Ln-[20]DOTA complexes by various auxiliary ligands, $L_{a}(=monodentate ligands; pyridine, imidazole, triethylamine, diethylamine, piperidine) were determined spectroscopically at $25^{\circ}C$ and 0.1M. The pKa of auxiliary ligand is in the order of pyridine < imidazole < triethylamine < diethylamine < piperidine, however the K has shown the trend of pyridine < imidzole < diethylamine < piperidine < triethylamine.

Liquid phase adsorption of organic compounds solution on the activated carbon fiber was measured by chromatographic method in a packed column. Adsorption equilibrium constant Ka of dextrose solution was found to be $72.5cm^3/g$ on ACF without bacteria growth, while in the bacterial ACF packed column Ka was $87.9cm^3/g$. It is suggested that for biological ACF there is a large contribution of bacterial activity to the adsorption equilibrium constant. Axial dispersion coefficient Ez was determined to be in proportional to flow rate and Pe=dpu/Ez independent or existence or bacteria.

The solubilities of $CO_2$ in 20wt% and 30wt% aqueous AMP solution were obtained from experiments at 40, 50, 60, 70, $80^{\circ}C$. Using the modified Kent-Eisenberg model, equilibrium constants and correlations were determined from the regression of experimental results of 30wt% aqueous AMP solution. There were good agreements between the predicted $CO_2$ solubilities in 20wt% aqueous AMP solution and experimented values. The prediction was conducted at the condition in the literature and the predicted values calculated from the model and correlations which were obtained from this work agree well with the prediction from Deshmukh-Mather model. Thus, the modified Kent-Eisenberg model and correlated equations suggested by this work, resonably well represent vapor-liquid equilibrium of $CO_2$ with aqueous AMP solution. The calculation of chemical species concentration in the liquid phase was performed uslng equilibrium model and from this calculation, we confirm that good absorption capacity is due to the formation of unstable carbamate. Heat of solution(${\Delta}Hs$) was calculated from the solubility data using the Gibbs-Helmholtz equation.
