Mains gas is most likely to be piped natural gas. The most serious risk to human health is via a leak‚ however small‚ in the piping system that transports the gas inside the building. Natural gas is a mixture of hydrocarbons‚ including methane. It is colourless and odourless‚ which makes a leak difficult to notice. Exposure to high levels of natural gas quickly causes unconsciousness and even death. Exposure to low levels can cause dizziness‚ nausea or heart palpitations. It has this affect because

Mustard Gas During World War I LOST was the original name for mustard gas‚ it was named after Lommel and Steinkopf. They were the first people who proposed this gas to the military to use as a weapon in 1916. Although mustard gas could possibly been developed as early as 1822 by a French chemist‚ Cesar-Mansuete Desperetez. Thirty-two years later Alfred Riche repeated this reaction of the sulfur dichloride and ethylene‚ but both Riche and Desperetez did not note any harsh properties. In 1860‚

This event dramatically illustrated American dependence on fossil fuels‚ and raised a lot of questions about the country’s energy policy and the security of its energy supply. Several events combined to bring about the energy crisis of the ’70s. The first was a dramatic rise in energy consumption‚ with the United States consuming a huge percentage of the world’s energy in proportion to its population. Domestic

As the result‚ most of the old buildings are demolished for new expensive buildings. But some buildings should be kept since they are historic and the historical value cannot be measured in money. The Central Police Station is one of the best buildings because it represents the just and fair of the world famous Hong Kong police. Central Police Station Compound

ENPE 573 – Unconventional Gas Exploitation Introduction to Shale Gas Classification‚ Formation‚ & Extraction Abstract The production of conventional gas has been declining over the last few years due to dwindling reserves. To counter-act this decline‚ companies are quickly turning to unconventional gas plays that can offer even greater reserves as shown in figure 1. Unfortunately‚ recovering unconventional gas is a very difficult process that requires advanced stimulation and/or

Boyle’s Law - Solutions 1) If I have 5.6 liters of gas in a piston at a pressure of 1.5 atm and compress the gas until its volume is 4.8 L‚ what will the new pressure inside the piston be? P1V1 = P2V2 (1.5 atm)(5.6 L) = (x)(4.8 L) x = 1.8 atm 2) I have added 15 L of air to a balloon at sea level (1.0 atm). If I take the balloon with me to Denver‚ where the air pressure is 0.85 atm‚ what will the new volume of the balloon be? P1V1 = P2V2 (1.0 atm)(15 L) = (0.85 atm)(x) x = 18
