Combustion of Acetylene (ethyne) Rx: Back Why I don’t do acetlyene explosions in our lab.... Combustion of alkanes A quick review.... • Combustion reactions of alkanes consist only of C and H (hydrocarbon) • require O2(g) as a reactant • produce CO2(g) and H2O(g) and a large amount of energy!! Oxygen can be the limiting reagent which can lead to Incomplete combustion. For complete combustion of a hydrocarbon‚ oxygen must be in excess. If there isn’t sufficient oxygen‚ incomplete combustion occurs

values that have trailing zeros only to the left of the decimal point are ambiguous and should be expressed in scientific notation. We must take note that the chemistry textbook (Silberberg 6e) states that placing a decimal point to the right of some trailing zeros (example: 300.) will make the zeros significant. However in General Chemistry‚ we do not follow this rule. If we want to write a whole number with trailing zeros we must use scientific notation to show which zeros are significant. When

Chemistry of Fireworks By Anuradha Sahu Everyone enjoys the amazing firework shows on the Fourth of July with the beautiful vibrant colors and sparks every year. Fireworks have been part of this world for a very long time. They have been used for enjoyment and for signalling purposes. Every culture has their own significance and use of fireworks. But all fireworks have something in common; the chemistry that makes them work. No matter where you find them‚ they are made up of the same compounds

Chemistry EEI Introduction: Corrosion is the returning of metals back into their natural constituents when exposed to an atmosphere with which it can react. Both metals and non-metals are able to undergo redox reactions as well as other ceramics and polymers which are known to undergo a similar process which is referred to as degradation. This investigation aims to outline and assess the factors affecting corrosion and explore in depth how redox reactions work. Reduction and oxidization reactions

The penny‚ the smallest coin in the U.S.‚ that honors president Abraham Lincoln‚ is now essentially worthless. Back not too long ago‚ it was possible to go the store and get a whole bag of candy for a nickel‚ or a chocolate bar for a penny. But now that is no longer possible. Nowadays the price of everything is much higher than it used to be‚ which means that small amounts don’t go as far. As source C explained‚ there used to be penny-poker‚ penny candy‚ and five and dime stores. Now‚ penny poker

“ A penny for your thoughts” is a saying that isn’t commonly used in my generation‚ but the saying might go away because the government is thinking about taking the penny away. Many people believe the penny is worthless and should be removed‚ and they are right. The penny today rarely gets used and costs more to create the penny then its value. Have you ever looked into a wishing well? Well if you have you would have noticed that people only really throw pennies into the well. Many people only

In the 18th and 19th centuries scientists wrestled with identifying and describing the nature of the “stuff” that produced change. One concept that became popular for a while was that of “caloric” (what we now call heat). “Caloric was originally conceived of as a quantity that would flow from a hotter object to a cooler one that would warm up as a result. It answered the need for a way for the cause of warming to get from here to there. Not only did caloric serve as a cause for warming‚ it
