Combustible Liquids (Examples: alcohols‚ esters‚ ethers‚ ketones) Vapors from flammable and combustible liquids can mix with air and burn if they contact an ignition source. Possible ignition sources include hot electrical wires‚ hot surfaces‚ open flames‚ hot particles and embers‚ and sparks. The lowest temperature at which a liquid releases enough vapor to start burning is called the flash point. The flash point is what distinguishes a flammable liquid from a combustible liquid. Flammables:

Solid waste management Introduction to solid waste management Solid waste is the unwanted or useless solid materials generated from combined residential‚ industrial and commercial activities in a given area. It may be categorised according to its origin (domestic‚ industrial‚ commercial‚ construction or institutional); according to its contents (organic material‚ glass‚ metal‚ plastic paper etc); or according to hazard potential (toxic‚ non-toxin‚ flammable‚ radioactive‚ infectious etc). Management

Gas analysis techniques Terms for gas analysis techniques Concentration The term concentration describes the amount of a substance‚ expressed as mass‚ volume‚ or number of particles in a unit volume of a solid‚ liquid‚ or gaseous substance e.g. alcohol in beer or oxygen in air. Different units are in use to describe concentration in gases: Mass concentration Concentration expressed in terms of mass of substance per unit volume [g substance/m3 gas volume] ¢ Volume concentration Concentration

Liquid Chromatography – Laboratory #18 Introduction: We are using liquid chromatography to separate the colored substances in grape-flavored drinks. We separate the component dyes‚ and then we separate the flavorings and citric acids. Background: Chromatography is a process that is used to separate a substance into its component parts. The separation occurs between the stationary and moving phase of the lab. The moving phase consists of a fluid and the stationary phase consists of a solid

TITLE Vapour Liquid Equilibrium OBJECTIVE To find the Vapour-Liquid Equilibrium (VLE) relationship for binary mixture and to plot the equilibrium curve. INTRODUCTION The term equilibrium is referred to as when a system is in a static condition and there is absolutely no changes that occur as time goes by. Vapour-liquid equilibrium is a condition where a liquid and its vapor are in equilibrium with each other‚ a condition or state where the rate of evaporation is equal to the rate of condensation

Gas laws have an impact on several aspects of our lives. The S.T.E.M I decided to explore deals a great deal in thermodynamics in the gas law I chose chemistry. First off I have to explain what is the broad practice of chemistry. Chemistry‚ a branch of physical science‚ is the study of the composition‚ properties and behavior of matter. Chemistry is concerned with atoms and their interactions with other atoms‚ and particularly with the properties of chemical bonds. Chemistry is also concerned with
