object of the incipient synthesis Explanation: It means that the condensation reaction by hydrolysis serves to heat up the object of the incipient synthesis We don't know what is about to be synthesized. A Syntheseansatz is NOT YET a mixture or blend. It will become so only in the wake of the condensation reaction. |

reaction mixture Explanation: What I would expect in English, at least :) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 22 mins (2018-02-02 20:55:48 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The reaction that was set up. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 13 hrs (2018-02-03 10:02:08 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- You are right that "approach" does not work, but they are not referring to an apparatus. Unfortunately, we don't have a special word for this, so your sentence might come out ugly. https://de.wiktionary.org/wiki/Ansatz [5] Chemie: die Gesamtheit der Edukte https://www.duden.de/rechtschreibung/Ansatz 9. Zusammenstellung der Bestandteile für eine chemische Reaktion https://patents.google.com/patent/US3455949A/en The exothermic reaction heats up the reaction mixture for to 7 minutes to 40 C. During the whole addition, which takes about 25 minutes, the temperature is kept constant at 40 C. by occasional cooling. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 13 hrs (2018-02-03 10:12:27 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- https://patents.google.com/patent/US6395920B1/en Since the preferred catalysts according to the invention tend to be deactivated under the reaction conditions, it is, however, not absolutely necessary to dilute the system. Any polymerization of the compounds of general formula III heats up the reaction mixture leading to an increased catalyst breakdown. In this sense, the process according to the invention is intrinsically safe. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day 14 hrs (2018-02-04 11:01:22 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The reaction mixture is simply whatever is in the reaction vessel. It doesn't need to be reacting, and it doesn't need to contain all of the reagents at once. If the intended reaction is polymerization, "polymerization mixture" would be another option, but you are interested in a hydrolysis-condensation reaction. "Preparation" or "formulation" is the idea. I wouldn't expect either to be used in this description. Another interesting related term is reaction cocktail. https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/biological-engineering/20-109-la... By making one mixture that contains water, buffer and enzyme (commonly called a reaction "cocktail"), you can add the same mixture to all reactions, minimizing effects of pipet-error and possible accidental errors, like leaving one component out of one reaction that you remember in all the others. |
