Chemical Reactions & Equations CHEMICAL REACTION : In a reaction when the original state of the particle changes and it cannot be reversed by simple physical means‚ this type of reaction is known as chemical reaction. Example :- Fermentation of grapes‚ burning of wood etc. In this reaction we have seen that after burning of wood‚ coal is formed and we cannot make wood from coal. PHYSICAL REACTION : In a reaction when original state of the particle can be recovered by any means then this type of

Chemical Weapons Chemical weapons use the toxic properties of chemical substances rather than their explosive properties to produce physical or physiological effects on an enemy. Although instances of what might be styled as chemical weapons date to antiquity‚ much of the lore of chemical weapons as viewed today has its origins in World War I. During that conflict "gas" (actually an aerosol or vapor) was used effectively on numerous occasions by both sides to alter the outcome of battles. A significant

Photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue using TiO2 nanoparticles Nupur Mittal Chemical Engineering‚ IIT (BHU) Varanasi. Abstract: The aim of this research is to reduce the pollution caused by methylene blue dye in waste water coming from textile industries. For this purpose‚ TiO2 nanoparticles are made as they show good photocatalytic activity in degradation of dyes into harmless products. Synthesis is done using titanium butoxide and 2-propanol. The particles formed were a little larger

A change is something that alters the properties of a substance. There are two types of changes: chemical changes and physical changes. A physical property is a property that can be observed without changing the makeup (or composition) of a substance. Some examples of a physical properties are texture‚ color‚ smell‚ and density. These are properties that can be measured
