Paragraph 1 - Compare and contrast the crystal structures and crystal chemistry of quartz‚ α-FePO4 and β-FePO4. Both α-FePO4 (space group: P3121) and α-quartz (space group: P3121 and P3221) belong to the trigonal crystal system‚ while β- FePO4 (space group: P6422) and β-quartz (space group: P6222 and P6422) belong to the hexagonal crystal system. At relatively low temperature‚ FePO4 is tetrahedral in structure. This is similar to the tetrahedral structure of quartz. As temperature increases‚ the

ingredients that most simple bath bomb recipes have: baking soda‚ citric acid‚ and cornstarch. When baking soda and citric acid are mixed together with some water‚ they undergo a chemical reaction. Specifically‚ this reaction involves acid-base chemistry‚ since the baking soda—also known as sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3)—is a weak base‚ and citric acid (C6H8O7) is a weak acid. This reaction is shown in Equation 1‚ below. As you can see from Equation 1‚ the acid-base reaction produces carbon dioxide

Introduction: There are several factors that affect the rate of a reaction. Some of them being Pressure (if the reactants are Gases)‚ Temperature‚ Presence of a Catalyst‚ Surface Area of the reactant‚ and Concentration. According to

Chemistry has sufficiently grown over time since it was first conducted by alchemists in the 17th century. It broke its mystical ties with alchemy‚ and took a turn to scientific investigation when a book called The Sceptical Chymist was written. Hundreds of scientists like Robert Boyle‚ Marie Curie‚ Joseph Achille Le Bel‚ and many others made important discoveries that contributed to chemistry. Joseph Achille Le Bel was a french chemist born on January 21‚ 1847 and grew up in Pechelbronn‚ France

Paragraph 1 In this paragraph‚ the structural and chemistry differences between quartz‚ α-FePO4 and β-FePO4 will be discussed. Quartz do have some similarities with the other 2 components. The structure of quartz‚ similarly depends on the temperature of the environment. Quartz can exist as an alpha or beta form. This is one similarity between the 3. The difference between α-FePO4 and β-FePO4‚ is that α-FePO4 is the most common form of existence for FePO4 and is structurally similar to the alpha

Objectives The main objective of this experiment is to differentiate between a physical change and a chemical change. A physical change includes a change in the material without affecting its composition‚ such as the physical state change. However‚ a chemical change includes the change in the composition of the substance. The change in color‚ formation of a gas or a solid product‚ and the production of energy are the evidences of a chemical reaction‚ thus‚ of a chemical change. Materials

First Ionisation energy is the measure of energy needed to remove a mole of electrons from a mole of gaseous atoms to form a mole of positively charged gaseous ions‚ also known as a cation. The general trend is that as the atomic number increases between elements Lithium to Neon the level of the first ionisation energy increases‚ as there is a stronger nuclear attraction. [Braid‚ K. et al. (2015)]. The stronger nuclear attraction along the period is caused by the number of protons increasing. When
