in solid or glassy state at normal temperature. But‚ when heated above its glass transition temperature‚ it turns into a form that flows and can be easily used for molding and extrusion. It becomes solid again when it cools off. This property of polystyrene is used for casting it into molds with fine detail. Pure polystyrene polymer is colorless and hard with limited flexibility. Polystyrene is hard and brittle and has a density of 1.050 g/cm3. It is represented by the chemical formula‚ C8H8. It

order to gain stability with each other (Larsen). To have stability which each other‚ the atoms share electrons so that their outer electron shell is equal. Ionic bonding is the complete transfer of valence electron(s) between atoms. It is a type of chemical bond that generates two oppositely charged ions (Larsen‚ 2010). Element that have a positive ion are able to bond with elements with negative ions. This is because the elements share the electrons so that the ionization becomes neutral and both atoms

Stephany Matos Chem Lab: Chemical Equilibrium Lab 52 Synopsis Iron (III) ions react with thiocyanate ions (SCN-) to form iron (III) thiocyanate‚ FeSCN2+. It is represented in the equation below: Fe3+ (aq) + SCN- (aq) FeSCN2+ (aq) Therefor the equilibrium constant for this reaction is: KC = [FeSCN2+]/([Fe3+]•[SCN-] For this experiment we were able to determine the equilibrium constant KC for this reaction. First we prepared five different mixtures with known initial concentrations of

Nickel is one of the most important elements on the periodic table. It has plenty of history‚ as well as a huge importance to society. Its has unique chemical‚ physical‚ and geological properties. Nickel is used commercially in abundance‚ as it is used anywhere from simple art products such as ceramics to complex structures such as tubing for desalination plants. It is even used in the American five-cent coin‚ the "nickel".<br><br>Nickel was discovered by Axel Fredrik Cronstedt‚ in Sweden‚ during

Introduction The reaction rate of a chemical reaction is determined as the change in the concentration of a reactant or product over the change in time. [1] The rate of a reaction is determined by experiment. Many factors influence the rate of a reaction: the nature of the reaction‚ concentration‚ pressure‚ temperature‚ and surface area‚ presence of catalyst and intensity of light. [2] For a chemical reaction‚ the rate law or rate equation is a mathematical expressed equation that links the reaction

Lab Report Experiment #3 Chemical Aspects of Life The objective of the Reducing Sugar Test was to test if the substance has a reducing sugar in it by adding Benedict’s solution and heating it‚ there would be a color change if a reducing sugar is present‚ or it will remain blue (no reducing sugar). The objective of the Starch test was to test for starch in substances by using Iodine. The iodine will cause a substance to turn to a dark blue color if it is positive for starch. The objective for

regulate or research the effects of chemicals on living organisms can cause many health risks to their citizens and the environment. One such instance in history is in the United States of America after World War II‚ where synthetic chemical pesticides used by the government and farmers grow crops. Rachel Carson researched on why these pesticides were unsafe for humans‚ animals and especially nature. Rachel Carson fought to bring global attention to the use of chemicals. As well as launching the awareness

This experimental procedure uses compounds from spinach leaves that are exposed to chromatography‚ TLC plate to indicate the different pigments within the spinach extract. ‘Column chromatography in chemistry is a method used to purify individual chemical compounds from mixtures of compounds’ (Wikipedia‚ 2011). This method is similar to thin layer chromatography‚ but the compounds in the mixture are collected separately. Green dye is used in this experiment that consists of blue and yellow constituents
