Corrosion of Metals Introduction Have you ever had a bike that went rusty‚ figure 1? If the paint is scratched and the rust allowed to spread‚ it is very difficult to repair the frame so it looks as good as new again. Rusting costs us millions of pounds each year‚ either through replacing things or through trying to prevent it happening in the first place. Figure 1: Bike rusting. In this booklet you learn about rusting and ways of stopping it‚ followed by a look at another metal‚ aluminium that

Sarah Aguilera June 30‚ 2013 Lab # 4 Properties of Gases Purpose The purpose of this lab was to investigate and discover the physical and chemical properties of some gases. Throughout this lab the ability to identify if and when gasses were present was enhanced. Data Observations During the first step of this lab‚ when obtaining the hydrogen from the mossy zinc and the hydrochloric acid‚ it took a lot longer than I thought it would for the water in the pipet to be displaced. I was tempted

was one of the hottest summers worldwide on record or why some recent winters have been among the warmest ever recorded? Do you also wonder why disastrous weather events like super-storm Sandy continue to increase in their frequency and severity? Many modern scientists attribute these dangerous environmental trends of global warming to the ‘greenhouse effect’. The ‘greenhouse effect’ results from greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide rising into the atmosphere‚ trapping infrared radiation

How to Remove Heavy Metal Toxins with Oral Chelation Do you currently have heavy metal toxins damaging the inside of your body? The answer is unfortunately "yes" for over 99% of us! So what is a “heavy metal” and what do I need to know? If you’re thinking of Ozzy Osbourne‚ KISS‚ or Ted Nugent‚ you’re not alone. The truth is that most people do not fully understand the real dangers of heavy metal poisons and just how common they are in our modern world. Fortunately‚ you can take steps to understand

Lockyer. Helium has an atomic number of 2 and an atomic weight of 4.002602. Helium is represented by the symbol of He. Helium is the second lightest element after Hydrogen and considered as the least reactive element. The more an element is reactive‚ the more flammable it is. It is considered a non-metal element with a number of 2 stable isotopes. It is a gas at room temperature with a density of 0.0001785 per cubic centimeter. Helium is an odorless‚ colorless‚ tasteless and nontoxic element. Natural

WHAT IS METAL? A metal is a chemical element that is a good conductor of both electricity and heat. Metals are malleable and ductile and have lustrous appearance. They have moderate to high physical constants and high tensile strength. Metals are further divided into two main groups - ferrous and non ferrous metals. TYPES OF METAL • FERROUS METAL These are metals which contain iron. They may have small amounts of other metals or other elements added‚ to give the required properties

A metal is defined as an opaque shiny element which possesses properties such as malleability and ductility. Malleable meaning that they can be hammered into shapes and ductile meaning they can be drawn into wires. They are also very strong and posses high tensile strength and are good conductors of heat and electricity. Metals are shiny‚ and also have high densities. Metals are a very important and significant part of chemistry. However‚ their importance is not just limited to chemistry; they are

EXPERIMENT 13: Extraction: Extraction with acid and alkali Objective 1. To recover the benzoic acid and p-dichlorobenzene from its mixture from its mixture by using acid-alkali extraction. 2. To determine the percentage recovery and melting point of the recovered benzoic acid and p-dichlorobenzene. Introduction Acid-base extraction is a process which purifying the acids and bases from mixtures based on their chemical properties. Acid-base extraction is performed to isolate the compounds and natural

mixtures of various minerals. Most minerals are lattice structures‚ both ionic and covalent. Economic minerals have been divided into two main categories: Metalliferous minerals- mined to extract a metal Industrial mineral- either has some direct practical use‚ or take part in some industrial process Gems and precious stones are an exception to industrial metals as they do have a direct ‘practical’ application but are dealt with separately. Some common minerals include: * * Silica-
