Can Water Damage Concrete? Concrete is among the most useful substances ever produced. Mixed and used well‚ it produces a very durable material that’s perfect for constructing buildings and other structures. Science‚ however‚ has other ideas. While many may consider concrete very sturdy‚ its biggest enemy seems somewhat benign in comparison: water. Industry experts such as AlliedFinishes.com offer good proof. In commercial settings‚ buildings like warehouses and large-scale kitchens often feature

Understand The Difference Between A Softener And Conditioner When Treating Water In Your Home A water conditioner is an appliance that treats the water in your home in some way to improve its quality. A water softener is a type of conditioner that works specifically to reduce hard water. Whether you buy a conditioner or softener depends on what you want to achieve with the water. Water Softeners Alter Minerals With Salt If your water has excess minerals‚ it’s called hard water. The minerals leave

Aim: To find the solubility and the solubility product of calcium hydroxide. Theory: Define‚ with equation‚ the solubility product. Find‚ from literature‚ the solubility product of calcium hydroxide at 25oC. Experimental: Reagents: solid calcium hydroxide‚ water‚ 0.1 moldm-3 hydrochloric acid Apparatus: Procedure: 1. An empty bottle was weighed. Then the empty bottle was weigh with 1g calcium hydroxide. 2. 100 cm3 of distilled water was added to the bottle. For about

combined with calcium carbonate. In this lab‚ we will use vinegar for its acetic acid and egg shells for their calcium carbonate. Marketable vinegar differs in its acetic acid concentration from 4-6%. Calcium carbonate reacts with the acetic acid in vinegar to produce carbon dioxide‚ water‚ and calcium acetate as represented by the equation: CaCO3 + 2HC2H3O2 CO2 + H2O + Ca(C2H3O2)2. The calcium carbonate reacts with the acetic acid in a 1:2 ratio. Therefore‚ for every one mole of calcium carbonate

Determine the Enthalpy Change of a Reaction Background Calcium Carbonate‚ CaCO₃‚ decomposes with heat to form CaO and CO₂. The objective of this practical was to determine the enthalpy change for this reaction by using an indirect method based upon the foundation of Hess’ Law. Both calcium oxide and calcium carbonate react readily with 2 mol/dm3. The reaction can be demonstrated as so: CaCO₃ (s) -> CaO(s) + CO₂ (g) Results: Raw Data Calcium Carbonate Mass of CaCO₃ + Weighing Bottle (in grams)

Usually‚ this part of the egg is thrown away after the eggwhite and yolk are taken from it and used. Although‚ there are some who used eggshells as ornaments‚ they are few‚ and this practice is not common. Study shows that the eggshell contains calcium carbonate - a form of limestone that can be converted to chalk – that material that we use in writing on the blackboards. The purpose of this research is to produce a chalk that is non-toxic and therefore safe for school children‚ teachers‚ and

Rate of reaction Design Lab Background: Reaction rate is most commonly defined as the speed at which a reaction takes place. This rate can be altered by many factors such as temperature‚ pressure‚ concentration‚ volume‚ or the use of a catalyst. In order for a reaction to occur‚ the atoms must collide in the correct orientation to break the bonds and must also have more energy than the needed activation energy. If their energy is not high enough‚ the reaction will not be able to take place. By

The term seashells usually refer to the exoskeleton of invertebrate animals. Most seashells are commonly found at the beaches but in a variety of habitats it is also possible to find shells from freshwater animals. But what was known in these animals they are made up of calcium carbonate. It will now be easy for the less fortunate country or people

The poem harmonium examines the relationship of a father and son. I think Armitage has written this poem for parents and children as they would be able to relate to the emotions in the poem. The Author uses the Farrand Chappelette which is a type of Harmonium or small organ to help him reflect the love that he has for his father. In the first stanza the poet talks about the Farrand Chappelette which was “gathering dust” telling us that it is getting old and it was due to be taken to the skip if Armitage
