Methyl fluoride and fluoroform have been irradiated with gamma rays from a 1200-Ci 60Co source. Ionization currents were measured using a Pyrex parallel-plate-type ionization chamber. W values of 27.2 and 28.0 eV were determined for the two gases, CH3F and CHF3, respectively. The method employed was a comparative one, making use of the Bragg–Gray theory of cavity ionization. G(H2) yields of 4.20 and 1.25 for CH3F and CHF3, respectively, were then calculated from the above W values and the measured ion-pair yields for hydrogen. The formation of hydrogen is probably due to the fact that the C—H bonds in these compounds are weaker than the C—F bonds.

By making use of grid pulses in a double-gridded ionization chamber, it was attempted to eliminate the background pulses caused by the alpha particles emitted from electrodes other than the cathode. Operating conditions for the reductions of the background in this method were investigated analytically. Using the double-gridded chamber of a parallel-plate type with a maximum sample area of 80 cm2 for alpha particles of 9 Mev, a background counting rate of one count per hour was achieved in the energy region from 3.5 to 9 Mev. It was found that an insulator like polyethylene could be used as a sample base with a good resolution for very weak activity. Spectra of weak alpha activities were measured by the present method. For the purpose of practical applications, the construction of a cylindrical double-gridded chamber is proposed.

SummaryExperiments are described, the aim of which is the determination of the energy spent in producing one pair of ions when electrons of velocity corresponding to 50–270 volts are totally absorbed in air. It is found that this energy varies with the initial speed of the electron, but that it asymptotes to the value 37 ± 2 electron-volts when the energy of the electron is very great.This value of the “volts per ion pair” is compared with those found by other experimenters. A correlation of the three electronic “constants,” the range of the electron, the ionization per unit path, and the total ionization is attempted. It is concluded that, unless in the case of very fast cathode rays or β-particles, the “ionization per unit path,” as measured by ionization chamber experiments, has no meaning.

Simple, rapid and sensitive extractive spectrophotometric method is presented for the determination of glibenclamide (Glb) based on the formation of ion-pair complex between the Glb and anionic dye, methyl orange (MO) at pH 4. The yellow colored complex formed was quantitatively extracted into dichloromethane and measured at 426 nm. The colored product obeyed Beer’s law in the concentration range of (0.5-40) μg.ml-1. The value of molar absorptivity obtained from Beer’s data was found to be 31122 L.mol-1.cm-1, Sandell’s sensitivity value was calculated to be 0.0159 μg.cm-2, while the limits of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ) were found to be 0.1086 and 0.3292 μg.ml-1, respectively. The stoichiometry of the complex created between the Glb and MO was 1:1 as determined via Job’s method of continuous variation and mole ratio method. The method was successfully applied for the analysis of pharmaceutical formulation.
