Sodium Bicarbonate Sulfuric Acid
865 wordsNitroglycerin (C 3 H 5 N 3 O 9) Nitroglycerin is one of the most sensitive explosives ever to be commercially produced. It is a very dense liquid, and is sensitive to heat, impact, and many organic materials. Although it is not water soluble, it will dissolve in 4 parts of pure ethyl alcohol. Heat of Combustion: 1580 cal / g Products of Explosion: Carbon Dioxide, Water, Nitrogen, Oxygen Human Toxicity: Highly toxic vasodilator, avoid skin contact! Although it is possible to make it safely, it is...

Effects Of Acid Rain Sulfur Dioxide And Nitrogen
3,730 wordsWhat is acid rain? Acid rain is the term for pollution caused when sulfur and nitrogen dioxides combine with atmospheric moisture. The term 'acid rain' is slightly misleading, and would be more accurate if deemed 'enhanced acid rain', as rain occurs acidic naturally. Acidity is measured on what is know as the pH scale. Fourteen is the most basic, seven is the most neutral, and zero is the most acidic. Pure rain has a pH level of 7, which is exactly neutral. The acidity of rain is determined by t...

Copper In Nitric Acid
554 words3 Cu + 8 HNO 3 -- 3 Cu (NO 3) 2 + 2 NO + 4 H 2 O The balanced equation seen on the top is what you attain when you place copper metal in concentrated nitric acid. In this process the identifiable characteristics of the metal will be completely changed and a new substance, cupric nitrate, will be formed. Copper forms two series of chemical compounds: cuprous, and cupric. Cuprous compounds are easily oxidized to cupric, in many cases by simple exposure to air; cupric compounds are stable. When nit...

Sulfur Dioxide And Nitrogen Burning Of Fossil Fuels
1,264 wordsWhat is Acid Rain? Acid rain is a form of precipitation that falls to the earth as rain. For rain to be acidic it has a pH level of less than 5. 6. The corrosive nature of acid rain causes widespread damage to the environment. The problem begins with the production of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides from the burning of fossil fuels, such as coal, natural gas, oil and other kinds of manufacturing. When these pollutants are in the air, they react with water and other chemicals, to form sulfuric...

Determining Ph Of Identical Strong And Weak Solutions
844 wordsExperiment: Determining pH of identical strong and weak solutions Date: 31 / 10 / 03 Aim: Plan and perform a first-hand investigation to measure the pH of identical concentrations of strong and weak acids. Equipment: Deionised water (H 2 O) Tartaric Acid (C 4 H 6 O 6) Citric Acid (C 6 H 8 O 7) Sulfuric Acid (H 2 SO 4) Acetic Acid (CH 3 COOH) Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) Ammonium Chloride (NH 4 Cl) Tap Water (H 2 O) Nitric Acid (HNO 3) Probe Ferric chloride (Fe Cl 3) Wash bottle Sodium Chloride in tap...

Chlorofluorocarbons Cfcs Ozone Depleting
1,295 wordsThe ozone layer is one of the oldest things on the planet, older than any of the ancient creatures we see in our museums today. The ozone layer has provided protection for the living components under it for millions of years, and without the ozone layer, we most likely would not be here today. Our evolution would have been cut off millions of years ago without our planets ability to provide protection from the ever-harmful rays from our sun. Each year since the late 1970 s much of the protective...

Ph Of 5 Sulphur Dioxide
1,087 wordsAcidity is measured using a pH scale, with the number 7 being neutral. A substance with a pH value of less than 7 is acidic, while one of a value greater than 7 is basic. A substance with a pH of 6 is 10 times more acidic than another with a pH of 7. Usually the pH of 5. 6 has been used as the baseline in identifying acid rain, although there has been much debate over the acceptance of this value. Interestingly enough, a pH of 5. 6 is the pH value of carbon dioxide in equilibrium with distilled ...

Nitric Acid Scientific American
825 wordsChemistry Connections of nitrogen - saltpeter, nitric acid, ammonia - were known long before invention of nitrogen in a free condition. In 1772 D. Rutherford, burning phosphorus and other substances in a glass bell, has shown that the gas remaining after combustion does not support breath and burning. He named it suffocating air. In 1787 A. Lavoisier has established, that the "vital" and "suffocating" gases included in air, are simple substances, and has offered the name "nitrogen." In 1784 G. C...

United States And Canada Ph Of 5
903 wordsHow Acid Rain Develops, Spreads, and Destroys Acid rain is environmentally damaging rainfall that occurs after fossil fuels burn, releasing nitrogen and sulphur oxides into the atmosphere. Acid rain, simply stated, increases the acidity level of waterways because these nitrogen and sulphur oxides combine with the air? s normal rainfall. Acid rain is a silent threat because its effects, although slow, are cumulative. This analysis explains the cause, the distribution cycle, and the effects of aci...

Nobel Prize Chemical Warfare
1,487 wordsThe name Fritz Haber has long been associated with the well-known process of synthesizing ammonia from its elements. While primarily known for developing a process which ultimately relieved the world of dependence on Chilean ammonia, this twentieth century Nobel prize winner was also involved in the varying fortunes of Germany in World War I and in the rise to power of the Nazi regime. Haber was born on December 9, 1868 in Prussia. He was the son of a prosperous German chemical merchant and work...

Sickle Cell Anemia Red Blood Cells
827 wordsSickle Cell Sickle cell is the most common inherited blood disease, which causes waves of pain, damage to vital organs, and some die in childhood or early adulthood. The disease is most commonly found in blacks and Hispanics of Caribbean descent. Around one out of every 400 blacks inherits the sickle cell disease. Sickle cell occurs when two sickle cell genes or a combination of one sickle cell gene plus any one of several other hemoglobin genes. This report will go in depth with many major issu...
